Where
Presidio San Antonio de Bexar
Part of
Casas Revolt in San Antonio

Las Casas led army sergeants to stage a coup in San Antonio in January 1811, initiating the revolt against Spanish authority.

A retired militia captain from Nuevo Santander, Las Casas led a group of army sergeants at Presidio San Antonio de Bexar to stage a coup in San Antonio. The cited passage dates the coup to January 21, 1811, while the staged legacy row admits January 22, 1811, as the revolt's start date; this one-day discrepancy remains unresolved in the supplied evidence.
