Tejano's and Anglo Texan's Point of View
From the Tejano's and Anglo Texan's Point of View, he states that there will be Possible War with Mexico. This is true because Mexico did not recognize Texas Independence from the Treaties of Velasco also, Mexico claimed that the Nueces River was the border between Texas and Mexico, when the real border was the Rio Grande.
American's Point of View
From the American's Point of View, Manifest destiny will increase. This is true because the American's dream of Manifest Destiny is much closer, and it will take them west, but War with Mexico may occur because Mexico owns the land to the west, also Mexico did not want to recognize Texas as part of the United States.
