What are the Residents of territorial Texas?

The residents of territorial Texas, during the period of 1836 to 1845 before it became a state, were a diverse group that included Anglo-American settlers, Tejanos (Mexican Texans), and indigenous peoples. The Anglo settlers primarily migrated from the United States, attracted by land grants and economic opportunities, while Tejanos were descendants of Spanish settlers and had established communities in the region. Tensions often arose between these groups, especially over land rights and governance, contributing to the complex social and political landscape of Texas during its territorial years. This mix of cultures laid the foundation for Texas's distinct identity.
