Texas in 1844 was still the Republic of Texas, an independent nation since winning its break from Mexico in 1836, and Sam Houston was nearing the end of his second term as president. Annexation by the United States dominated public life that year, after a treaty to join the Union was rejected by the U.S. Senate in June. Most settlers lived in the east and along the rivers, where cotton planting worked by enslaved people and cattle ranching drove the economy, and Galveston handled much of the shipping out. Austin had been the capital since 1839, and the population was small and spread across a vast territory, so county lines like those on this map were a practical guide to a frontier still being settled.
