Is it correct?

Hi.
I would like to ask about the correctness in use of 'in' in the following sentence: to prove that the Eastern migrants in Texas after the civil war led to the emergence of the legendary figure of the cowboy.
Thank you in advance.

The word "in" is used correctly, but the whole thing is not a grammatically complete sentence.

It can't be a formally gramatically complete sentence whatever its purpose. However, that doesn't mean that it's necessarily wrong. For example, this would be correct:

The aims of this research are:

1. To show that ... blah blah ...
2. To prove that ... yadda yadda ...
