The Republic of the Rio Grande (Spanish: República del Río Grande) was one of a series of political movements in Mexico which sought to become independent from the unitary government dominated by Antonio López de Santa Anna; the Republic of Texas and the second Republic of Yucatán were created by political movements that pursued the same goal. Insurgents fighting against the Centralist Republic of Mexico sought to establish the Republic of the Rio Grande as an independent nation in Northern Mexico. The rebellion lasted from 17 January to 6 November 1840.
