But the federal government proved unable to keep its promises. In Texas, many Tejanos were denied the right to vote, lost their lands in court, and often found themselves persecuted, rather than protected, by officers of the law. Juan Cortina “The Robin Hood of the Rio Grande” • Juan Cortina was a Mexican Rancher who fought in Mexican-American War on the Mexican side. • After Mexico lost the war his land was divided in two. Texas authorities invalidated (taken away) many of his land claims. • "Flocks of vampires, in the guise of men," he wrote, robbed Mexicans "of their property, incarcerated, chased, murdered, and hunted them like wild beasts". •Juan Cortina believed that the rights of Tejanos were being violated throughout Texas. •Cortina carried out acts of violence against corrupt officials. His acts were called Cortina’s War. Juan •He raised a private army that defended “Tejano’s” Cortina against “Anglos” trying to take their land. • The Democrats were the dominant political party, and had Political very little competition from the Parties Whig party. -Texans would vote for southern democrats until the 1980’s! • Sam Houston, though he never joined the party, supported the Know-Nothing party which opposed immigration to the United States.
