Which statement about the events that led to the rebellion against Mexico in late 1835 is FALSE?

A. President Antonio López de Santa Anna declared himself dictator of Mexico and issued decrees limiting property rights and economic freedom for Anglos.

B. Texan and Mexican forces fought over a small six-pound cannon in Gonzales, Texas. The victory of Texans in that incident fed a fever of revolt, and political leaders began planning for rebellion against Mexico.

C. Internal conflicts emerged between the Catholic Spanish people who wanted independence from the Mexican dictator, and the Protestant Anglos migrating from the Louisiana Territory, who generally favored the economic policies of Mexico and the land grants given to new settlers from the West.

D. The pro-slavery views of southern white Protestants, who brought African American enslaved people with them in the 1820s, conflicted with the Spanish Catholic settlers who already occupied Texas. Because of Mexico's own history of ethnic diversity, a strong antislavery movement began to brew.
