In 1829, Santa Anna marched against the Barradas Expedition with a much smaller force and defeated the Spaniards, who were making a final attempt to retake Mexico. The defeat of the Spanish army not only increased Santa Anna’s popularity but also consolidated the independence of the new Mexican republic. Santa Anna was declared a hero.
