What happend when Edward started the fredonian revolt?

The Fredonian Revolt, initiated by Edward Edwards and his supporters in 1826, marked the first significant challenge to Mexican authority in Texas. Edwards claimed a territory near Nacogdoches for a new independent republic, citing grievances against the Mexican government. The revolt quickly lost support and was suppressed by Mexican forces, leading to the arrest of Edwards and the disbandment of the rebel group. This uprising highlighted the growing tensions between Anglo settlers and the Mexican government, foreshadowing future conflicts in Texas.
