Explanation:

First Sub - Question: What other groups live on land claimed by the Republic of Texas? (multiple groups)

During the time of the Republic of Texas, several groups lived on the claimed land. Native American tribes such as the Comanche, Apache, and Cherokee were present. Additionally, Mexican - American settlers (Tejanos) who had been living in the region before the establishment of the Republic of Texas also resided there. There were also Anglo - American settlers who had moved to the area.

The area along the border between the Republic of Texas and Mexico, especially around the Rio Grande (or the Nueces River - Rio Grande disputed area), would be a likely place for conflict. The Republic of Texas claimed the Rio Grande as its southern border, while Mexico recognized the Nueces River as the border. This dispute over the boundary meant that both sides had competing claims to the land between the two rivers, leading to potential for clashes as both wanted to assert control over the territory.

The United States might become involved. The United States had an interest in the region due to the possibility of expanding its territory (Manifest Destiny ideology). Also, many Anglo - American settlers in Texas had ties to the United States, and the U.S. had economic interests in the area, such as trade and potential for new states. Additionally, the U.S. could be drawn into the conflict as a mediator or as a party seeking to protect its citizens or expand its influence in North America.

Answer:

• Native American tribes like the Comanche, Apache, and Cherokee.
• Mexican - American settlers (Tejanos).
• Anglo - American settlers.
