This aristocracy of ranchers and farmers led the Mexican Revolution against the Spanish in 1821. After the revolution, in the interest of economic development of its northern, thinly settled provinces, the Mexican government invited settlers to Texas. The Mexican land-owners who were already there engaged in agriculture and ranching until the influx of Anglo-Americans in the 1830s and, in California, especially after the gold rush of 1849. This influx of North Americans turned out to be a disaster, not only for the Mexican nation during the Mexican-American War, but also for the individual Mexican land-owners in Texas and California. Their land was simply taken from them.
