Texas on the Rio Grande.In the wake of the war, Tamaulipas remained an object of interest to
American expansionists. The climate was considered suitable for the spread of slavery by Southerners who desired the admission of new territory, then Governor of Mississippi Senator Albert Gallatin Brown wanted Tamaulipas, Potosi, and 2 other Mexican states & wanted them all for the same reason for the plantation and spreading of slavery.
During the 1860s
France also wanted conquest of Tamaulipas.
