n 1824, the Mexican government enacted the overall colonisation Law that secure land possession to any or all heads of house, despite race. For Black families - a number of whom 1st settled there within the 1700s - this was a tremendous chance aquire land.
But things took a flip for the worst. The Mexican government realised that white U.S. settlers refused to be naturalized as Mexican voters and blatantly unheeded their slavery laws.
