On the point, however, of maintaining freedom of labour in their dominions, the Mexican authorities were in earnest, and the move of the settlers was met by a decree of the legislatures of Coahuila and Texas, annulling all indentures of labour for a longer period than ten years, and providing for the freedom of children born during apprenticeship. But slaveholders were not to be so baffled. " The settled invincible purpose of Mexico to exclude slavery from her limits created as strong a purpose... to annihilate her authority. The project of dismembering a neighbouring repub- lic that slaveholders and slaves might overspread a region which had been consecrated to a free population, was discussed. In the newspapers as coolly as if it were a matter of obvious right and unquestioned humanity. "* The plot having been carried to this point, the consummation of the plunder was easy. A conspiracy was hatched ; a rebellion organized ; fili- busters were introduced from the border states ; and a popula- tion, which at the commencement of the outbreak did not number twenty thousand persons, asserted its independence, was recognized by the Federal Government, and with little delay annexed to the Union.
