Santa Anna strengthened Mexico’s central government and reduced the autonomy of its states. Many Texans opposed this change, along with other Mexican policies, and revolted in 1835; Texas declared independence in 1836. So one effect of Santa Anna’s rise to power was that Texas revolted and declared independence from Mexico.
