I still don't understand what you were doing. I've never seen anything remotely like that. The most revolts I ever had simultaneously was like six, and were very easily put down.
Enough with th events!

I have no clue. The revolts were nuts. Maybe I'll play the US again soon and take some screenies. I just got too frustrated with it.
I partly agree with you on this. While I like the way you can shape your country with tons of events, perhaps there is a way to reduce the micromanagement. They should to implement a "Remember this choice" check box next to repeatable events, and a UI to review and modify all your choices for repeatable events. A "Diplomatic action queue" for those great power diplomatic actions would be great as well.
Probably the timer on the events are a little off. They are too frequent, which is what causes the Civil War to happen 10 years too early every time.
You will get more events the more provinces you own, as many of them are province events and not country events.
If you want less events, have less provinces! Simple.
Or go into the event files and increase the MTTH on all of them.

It's 1845 now and I've only had three stacks against me. I have Mexico on the run, and I assume that the ACW will start soon, so I'm gathering some Union troops in the Southern states in preparation. After this, I can get back to destroying Mexico.
EDIT: Three stacks of rebels, that is.

Just slow down, did you not play the demo? It was awfully similar... you should have known, I guess. As for rebels, I have not had a problem with mass risings, especially not ones large enough to challenge my armies... Perhaps your strategy needs a new dynamic outlook. 
No real problems with mass risings in my US game; I did get hit with the ACW (in about 1850ish) but i assume thats because i took the middle line mainly. That was easily put down but the loss of all my southern industry (it just vanished) was a bit of a setback. Now in about 1865ish i'm at the historic US boarders with the USCA snapping up a bit of southern mexico.
Event popups seems to really have lowered after finally getting slavery abolished during the ACW. I think its a bit of a case of just hanging in there until the slavery debate is settled and then the event system starts to calm down a bit

We (as another poster put it) literally caught the Mexicans napping. About a third of Mexican forces in Texas were killed, wounded or captured, and of course we found Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna a day later, which gave us the leverage to get the other two-thirds of their forces headed back across the Rio Grande. Getting them back in theatre would require the usual huge undertakings to get an army going. That usually doesn't happen in the middle of a change of government.
While the Mexican government quickly deposed El Presidente and declared any treaties he'd signed with the Texan leadership null and void, without the military power to back up those claims available in theatre, they really couldn't do much about it.
There were actually quite a few states rebelling against Santa Anna's seizure of power at the time (some probably larger), the other rebellions got crushed. Fortunately, by the time Mexico was stable enough to consider taking Texas back, it was recognized by two foreign powers not exactly amenable to Mexican interests: the US and France.
