Turtle Bayou Resolutions
the rebels first articulated ideas that would become central to the Texas revolutionary movement, including allegiance to the Mexican constitution of 1824. The resolutions were published in a Brazoria newspaper in July 1832. The four resolutions condemned violations of the 1824 constitution by the Bustamante government and urged all Texans to support the patriots fighting under Santa Anna, who was at the time struggling to defeat military despotism. The Turtle Bayou Resolutions were a declaration of loyalty to Mexico, but not the Mexican government. The resolutions were written in response to Santa Anna’s army’s march on San Antonio. The Texans who signed the resolutions pledged to continue fighting against Santa Anna’s army until they were driven out of Texas

The Texans numbered between 100 and 150; the number of Mexicans was variously estimated at 91 to 200. Ugartechea and his garrison were forced to surrender when their ammunition was exhausted.
Santa Anna
Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, usually known as Santa Anna or López de Santa Anna, was a Mexican soldier, politician, and caudillo who served as the 8th president of Mexico multiple times between 1833 and 1855. He also served as Vice President of Mexico from 1837 to 1839. Santa Anna gained much prestige in 1829 when he fought against Spain’s attempt to reconquer Mexico, and he became known as the Hero of Tampico. This surge of glory helped him gain the presidency in 1833 as a Federalist and opponent of the Roman Catholic Church; in actuality, however, he established a centralized state. Mexicans remember him as a “vendepatria” (sellout) who lost over half of their nation’s territory to the United States. They condemned him after he became a brutally repressive dictator in the 1850s
Convention of 1833
The Convention of 1833 (April 1–13, 1833), a political gathering of settlers of Mexican Texas, was a successor to the Convention of 1832, whose requests had not been addressed by the Mexican government. In April 1833, delegates from around Texas — with the exception of San Antonio de Bexar, which chose not to participate in the convention because it was not sanctioned by the political chiefs of Texas — met in San Felipe de Austin to begin framing a state constitution in the hopes that they could persuade the Mexican Government. The convention petitioned anew for repeal of the anti-immigration section of the Law of April 6, 1830, asked for more adequate Indian defense, judicial reform, and improvement in mail service, sought tariff exemption, and passed resolutions prohibiting African slave traffic into Texas.
