The Law of April 6,1830 had some interesting goals. Many people benefited from these goals and other did not. The following are the goals.
1. No immigration from the United States
2. Canceled all the unfulfilled empresarial grants
3. Encouraged Mexican and European immigrations
4. Slave could no longer be brought into Mexico
5. Established new forts
6. Placed custom duties on all goods entering Texas from the U.S
Colonization of Texas by Mexicans and Europeans encouraged military occupation, and stimulating coastal trade. The law, reasonable from the Mexican point of view, gave a loan to finance the cost of transporting colonists to Texas, opened the coastal trade to foreigners for four years, provided for a federal commissioner of colonization to watch the empresario contracts in conformity with the general colonization law, prevented the further introduction of slaves into Mexico, and apparently was intended to suspend existing empresario contracts.
The Law of April 6, 1830, said to be the same type of stimulus to the Texas Revolution that, the Stamp Act was to the American Revolution, was initiated by Lucas Alamán y Escalada (Mexican minister of foreign relations), and was designed to stop the "flood" of immigration from the United States to Texas. The law came as a result of the warning and communications of Manuel de Mier y Terán, who made fourteen recommendations directed toward exiting counter.
