Long Expedition : ウィキペディア英語版 | Long Expedition
The Long Expedition was an 1819 attempt to take control of Spanish Texas by filibuster. It was led by James Long and successfully established a small independent government, known as the ''Republic of Texas'' (distinct from the later Republic of Texas created by the Texas Revolution). The expedition crumbled later in the year, as Spanish troops drove the invaders out. Long returned to Texas in 1820 and attempted to reestablish his control. ==Background== Beginning in 1810, Spanish territories in North and South America began to revolt. Lured by the promise of free land and potential wealth, many men from the United States joined expeditions to try to take Texas from Spain. The expeditions were largely planned in New Orleans, and variously wished to establish an independent republic in Texas or assist the revolutionaries fighting within Mexico. For the first nine years of the revolt, ownership of Texas was contested. The United States claimed that the Louisiana Purchase included all of Texas, while Spain believed the boundary rested at the Red River, leaving Texas under Spanish control. The Texans later had a revolt which led to their independence.
