Question 3 • DAEP-Grade 7 Texas History A (20 Day Term)

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Answer
A
Haden Edwards brought 2,000 settlers with him to Nacogdoches which upset the people already living there.
B
Haden Edwards may have been involved in a cover-up when he was arrested with others for oppression and corruption in office.
C
Haden Edwards posted notices on street corners telling the residents of Nacogdoches that they had to show him proof of land ownership or lose their land.
D
Haden Edwards arrived in Nacogdoches in 1825 and Mexico canceled his land grant in 1826.

Explanation

The false statement is that Haden Edwards brought 2,000 settlers to Nacogdoches. Edwards arrived in 1825 as an empresario, but he did not bring that many settlers with him; the conflict arose because he challenged the land claims of people already living there. The other statements describe his notices demanding proof of ownership and Mexico’s cancellation of his land grant in 1826.
