Why did the town of Anahuac become a location that increased tension between Texans and the Mexican government? Hint: Think about its geographical location.

Because Anahuac was located on a river, it was a major pathway for trade (importing and exporting goods). For this reason, the Mexican government stationed military troops at the town to monitor the trade to make sure that no illegal activity occurred. The behavior of some of the Mexican soldiers created tension in the town. Because of its success and location, Mexico wanted to tax the people more (customs duties) so that the Mexican government could profit. Other cities who were on major waterways were not taxed as much as Anahuac which created animosity among the town’s people. The incidents at Anahuac reinforced Texan’s ideas that Mexico was treating them unfairly.
