That year’s contentious presidential election, initially won by Manuel Gómez Pedraza but overturned under military and popular pressure in favor of Vicente Guerrero, exposed the fragility of Mexico’s electoral institutions and set a pattern of pronunciamientos, riots, and contested successions that would plague the republic’s politics for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe region shown as Texas on the map was not yet an independent republic but part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas, sparsely populated and increasingly dominated demographically by Anglo-American colonists brought in under empresario contracts such as Stephen F. Austin’s. That same year, General Manuel de Mier y Terán’s inspection tour and boundary work along the Sabine River, following the Adams–Onís line, alerted Mexican authorities that Anglo settlers vastly outnumbered Tejanos, heightening fears of eventual rebellion and annexation to the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground on Creator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSidney Hall (ca. 1788–1831) was a British engraver and cartographer renowned for finely executed early nineteenth\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Cambria Math',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Cambria Math';\"\u003e‑\u003c\/span\u003ecentury atlas maps of the British Isles, Europe, and the wider world, including America.
