Austin, and most of their followers strongly preferred annexation by the United States over long-term independence. B) The Mexican government, embittered by the humiliation of the climactic Battle of San Jacinto and the Treaty of Velasco, decided not to withdraw fully from Texas and resumed hostilities in the fall of 1836.
