Fredonian Rebellion
1826–27 secession attempt in Mexican Texas
The Fredonian Rebellion or Texan revolt of 1826 was the first attempt by Texans to secede from Mexico. The settlers, led by Empresario Haden Edwards, declared independence from Mexican Texas and created the Republic of Fredonia near Nacogdoches. The short-lived republic encompassed the land the Mexican government had granted to Edwards in 1825 and included areas that had been previously settled.
