The group of people who settled in the land called Texas agreed to follow the rules set by the Mexican government, even though they were Mexican.
Should there be a comma after "government"? If it is needed, could you let me know why. Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
Edit: The last part should be: even though they were not Mexican.
I don't know that it is required, but certainly any native speaker witn a modicum of education would use one. "Even though they were not Mexican" is a dependent clause, and cannot stand on its own as a sentence. The introductory clause can stand on its own.
@tanguatlay,
For some reason, Tang, there's a trend away from the comma except where it it essential to meaning
Stumble It!
