Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By 1840, the largest racial or ethnic group in Texas was Anglos, or English-speaking white settlers. The Mexican-born population, known as Tejanos, had been outnumbered by the rapidly growing Anglo-American population. The black population had also increased due to the expansion of slavery in Texas, but they were not yet the largest group. The Indian population had decreased significantly due to forced removals and conflicts with settlers.
