They brought covered wagons, chickens, and cannons. They brought enslaved people. And they brought grand ideas about what they should get to do in their new land, which were basically: \u003ci\u003ewhatever they wanted.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Mexican government wasn't so sure about that. But as more and more settlers moved in, the big personalities, rash decisions, and grand proclamations piled up.
