Treaty of Tehuacana Creek

History>Independent Republic>Armed Conflict

“The Republic of Texas’s relationship with Native American tribes was something that always had conflict. Tribes like the Comanche and the Cherokee had a lot of the territory claimed by the Republic. This lead to a lot of controversy between them. While some treaties were signed to establish peace between them, they often still violated the terms resulting in ongoing violence. The Republic faced challenges in maintaining a sufficient military force to help defend its borders against Native American tribes. There was limited resources so Texas finally came up with a treaty. They called it the Treaty of Tehuacana Creek that was signed in 1844.”

I am not very familiar with Wikipedia writing style guidelines, but this section reads very strange to me. I think it should be reworded in more definitive terms to be less vague or removed entirely. DannyRoberts135 (talk) 18:39, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
