In the spring of 1842, a Mexican army led by General Rafael Vasquez. he came with 700 soldiers and attacked San Antonio,Goliad,Refugio, and Victoria. Many people when they heard about the Mexican troops attacking got scared. President Houston worried that Mexico would attack Austin so he asked the Archives (records) be taken from the capital, many people in Austin did not like this because they thought it meant that the capital would be back in Houston.
