Fredonian Rebellion
Two brothers, Hayden and Benjamin Edwards, revolted against the Mexican government when they couldn't get their way in a land grant dispute. The Mexican government immediately sent troops along with Stephen F. Austin to put down the revolt. The brothers fled Texas leaving the remaining American settlers under a cloud of suspicion from the Mexican government. Source: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/jcf01

Fredonian Rebellion: Mexico Wins
The Edward brothers are bad for Texas. They don't know what they are doing and just make the Mexican government suspicious of hard working Texans.
