Why did Tejanos resent the Americans settling in Texas?

Tejanos resented American settlers in Texas primarily due to cultural and economic tensions. Many American settlers disregarded local customs and laws, leading to conflicts over land use and governance. Additionally, the influx of settlers often marginalized Tejano land rights and diminished their political influence, creating feelings of resentment toward the encroaching population. This growing divide ultimately contributed to the tensions that fueled the Texas Revolution.
