When Did Stephen F Austin Bring 300 Families to Texas
The "Old 3 Hundred" were 297 grantees who purchased 307 parcels of state from Stephen Fuller Austin in Mexican Texas. Each grantee was a family, or in some cases a partnership of unmarried men. By 1825 the colony they established had a population of 1,790, including 443 slaves.[1]
The colony encompassed an area that ran from the Gulf of Mexico on the due south, to near nowadays-day Jones Creek in Brazoria County, Brenham in Washington County, Navasota in Grimes County, and La Grange in Fayette County. It was the first authorized colony of Anglo-American settlers and African-American slaves in Mexico.
Implementation [edit]
Moses Austin, an empresario, was authorized by JoaquÃn de Arredondo of Spain to create a colony of Americans in Texas as a bulwark against the native Comanche people. Before this programme could exist implemented Moses Austin died in Missouri and Spain lost control of United mexican states, both in 1821.[2] : 17–eighteen
Stephen Austin agreed to implement his male parent's plan, and at the end of the summer of 1821, he and a small group of settlers crossed into Texas. Before he arrived in San Antonio to encounter with the governor, they learned that Mexico had earned its independence from Spain, making Texas a Mexican province rather than a Spanish province. Governor Martinez bodacious him, withal, that the new Mexican government would laurels the colonization contract.[iii]
Stephen Austin returned to Louisiana to recruit settlers. He offered land at 12 cents per acre, only ten% of what comparable acreage sold for in the United States. The Settlers had to follow simply four regulations. They had to be Catholic, they had to be of good moral grapheme, they had to improve the country, and they had to cultivate the state within two years or it would exist forfeited. Settlers would pay no customs duties for seven years and would not be bailiwick to taxation for x years. In render, they would be expected to become Mexican citizens.[4]
In March 1822, Austin learned that the new Mexican government had not ratified his father's country grant with Espana. He was forced to travel to Mexico Urban center, 1,200 miles (1,931 km) abroad, to get permission for his colony.[five] In that location, he discovered that the Mexican government was defended to equal rights for all races and opposed to slavery. Stephen Austin considered legal slavery critical to the success of his colony, then he spent a year in Mexico Metropolis lobbying against anti-slavery legislation. In 1823 he reached a compromise with the Iturbide government that would allow slavery in Texas with restrictions.[2] : twenty–23
The 1823 Majestic Colonization Law of United mexican states immune an empresario to receive a land grant within the Mexican province of Texas. The empresario and a commissioner appointed by the governor would be authorized to distribute land to settlers and issue them titles in the name of the Mexican regime. Only ane contract was ultimately approved under this legislation: the first contract granted to Stephen F. Austin.[6]
Institution [edit]
Between 1823 and 1825, Austin granted 297 titles under this contract. Each head of household received a minimum of 177 acres[7] or iv,428 acres[8] depending on whether they intended to farm or raise livestock. The grant could exist increased for large families or those wishing to establish a new industry, but the lands would be forfeited if they were not cultivated within two years.[6]
The settlers who received their titles nether Stephen'south outset contract, known today equally the Old Iii Hundred, made up the beginning organized, approved influx of Anglo-American immigrants to Texas. The new titles were located in an surface area where no Castilian or Mexican settlements had existed, covering the country between the Brazos River and the Colorado River from the Gulf Coast to the San Antonio Road.[9]
Austin wrote the colony's legal lawmaking, laying out slavery laws in particular. Any slave who left a plantation without permission was to be tied up and whipped. At that place were considerable fines for helping or harboring a runaway slave.[2] : 23–24
The capital of this new colony was San Felipe de Austin, now the town of San Felipe in Austin County.
Growth [edit]
When Austin began advert his colony, he received a dandy deal of interest. He was able to be selective in his choice of colonists, which enabled his colony to be different from most others of the time. Austin chose settlers based on whether he believed they would be accordingly industrious. Overall, Austin chose people who belonged to a higher economic scale than most immigrants, and all brought some property with them. All but four of the men could read and write. This relatively high level of literacy had a great bear upon on the future of the colony. According to historian William C. Davis, because they were literate, the colonists "absorbed and spread the noesis and news always essential to uniting people to a mutual purpose".[10]
Despite a provision in Mexican law requiring immigrants to exist Cosmic, nearly of Austin'due south settlers were Protestant. Many chafed at being ruled by Catholics. Virtually all were of British ancestry.[ane]
One-quarter of the families brought enslaved African-American people with them. 1 of the colonists, Jared Groce, had 90 slaves. According to historian Christopher Long, the Quondam 3 Hundred "constituted the heart of the burgeoning slave empire in antebellum Texas."[1]
