After 1821, an independent Mexico sought to reclaim its northern frontier through the formation of new centers of population. Under the newly-established state of Coahuila y Tejas, empresarios (land agents) such as Stephen F. Austin introduced citizens from the United States, Mexico, and Europe into their colonies.[1] The influx of new Anglo families forever changed the cultural landscape of Texas and made it a place for cultural encounters, collaborations, and eventually conflicts.[2]
