Why was texas a source of conflict between the united states and mexico?

There were several causes of the conflict between the American settlers and Mexico. First, Mexico feared that they would lose Texas to the United States, so they started enforcing laws that had been ignored. Then, Santa Anna gained power and became a dictator. There were rumors that Santa Anna wanted to drive Americans out of Texas. Americans wanted to overthrow Santa Anna, so this started fighting.

It was a disputed area of land. Texas was its own country, The Republic of Texas. Mexico had claimed this land before but the border was pretty murky of where mexico ends and where Texas begins. So the Mexican army invaded, the Alamo. Then the Americans came in and helped and ended up claiming Texas as part of the United States after winning the Mexican American War.
