It was "their" land in the same sense the 13 colonies were England's, or Mexico was Spain's. The whole reason Mexico allowed the (largely) American colonists was because they didn't have enough natives interested in colonizing. Colonists fighting for the freedom to govern themselves resulted in the U.S.A., Mexico, and the Republic of Texas.
