Battle of Gonzales
It is considered to have been the first battle of the so called Texas War of Independence. Years before this 1835 battle, when whites still controlled Mexico (that be before 1820), the white (Spanish) leaders of Mexico, requested from their English kinfolk to their east, to have their (American) settlers move into eastern Texas. At that time, Anishinabe Soldiers were dominating whites who controlled Mexico and they eventually brought Mexico under Anishinabe control by 1820. Since both Anishinabe People and whites were motivated by an Aztec prophecy, both nations took control of Mexico seriously.
By mid 1830's, scores of illegal white settlers were forcing their way into the east of Texas, joining those white settlers who had already settled down in Texas years earlier. They conspired with whites of Mexico to start a war for control of Mexico (not just Texas), which was being controlled by the Anishinabe Nation, excepting certain areas in California where a small white population coexisted alongside a Chinese population which had long lived in California. The Chinese had towns in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California and northwest Mexico. In 1870's, the Chinese population in California alone was estimated to be around 125,000. Chinese People have lived in the America's for as long as 2,000 years. Many Anglo whites commenced to settle down in California, when white leaders of Mexico requested from them, to send their settlers to Mexico.
By 1830's, large numbers of Anishinabe People had commenced diasporas towards the west, from the Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio region, and the southern part of what is now the United States. They poured into Texas from Louisiana and Oklahoma. The goal of whites was to once again bring Mexico under white control. White leaders knew Texas was an extremely important location to Anishinabe People. Thus, reason Texas Revolution commenced in 1835. Another reason Texas Revolution commenced, was the invention of the revolver. The revolver is why the whites won this war. Just as the machine gun (gatlin gun) was why the whites won the so called 1861-1865 American Civil War.
On October 2, 1835, illegal white settlers in Anishinabe controlled Texas, initiated a war for control of Texas. A few years later, whites invaded the south of Mexico. They be the French who invaded southern Mexico in the late 1830's. A force of 100 Anishinabe Soldiers battled a force of 140 white (that includes of Mexican descent) Soldiers on October 2, 1835, near present day Gonzales, Texas and lost the battle. It was a minor battle with only 3 total casualties. Anishinabe casualties were 2 killed. White casualties were 1 wounded.
