Leading Federalists In Mexico Including Former Governor Viesca Lorenzo De Zavala And Jos� Antonio Mex�a Were Advocating A Plan To Attack Centralist Troops In Matamoros. Council Members Were Taken With The Idea Of A Matamoros Expedition They Hoped It Would Inspire Other Federalist States To Revolt And Keep The Bored Texian Troops From Deserting The Army Most Importantly It Would Move The War Zone Outside Texas The Council Officially Approved The Plan On December 25 And On December 30 Johnson And His Aide Dr James Grant Took The Bulk Of The Army And Almost All Of The Supplies To Goliad To Prepare For The Expedition. Historian Stuart Reid Posits That Grant Was A British Secret Agent And That His Plan To Take Matamoros And Thus Tie Texas More Tightly To Mexico May Have Been An Unofficial Scheme To Advance British Interests In The Region.[Note 9]
