VALOR, AND HOPE Copyright © 2013, Texas Historical Commission TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Texas in theCivil War The United States was rife with conflict and controversy in the years leading to the Civil War. Perhaps nowhere was the struggle more complex than in Texas. Some Texans supported the Union, but were concerned about political attacks on Southern institutions. Texas had been part of the United States just 15 years when secessionists prevailed in a statewide election. Texas formally seceded on March 2, 1861 to become the seventh state in the new Confederacy. Gov. Sam Houston was against secession, and struggled with loyalties to both his nation and his adopted state. His firm belief in the Union cost him his office when he refused to take anMarch oath of allegiance to the new government. 2, 1861 Gov. Sam Houston refused to declare loyalty to the Confederacy and was removed from office by the Texas secession convention in March 1861. SAM HOUSTON PORTRAIT Tensions were high when the Civil War began, and Texans responded in impressive numbers.

  • The Creation of the Mexican American Identity in Texas, 1836-1929
    HIJOS DE LA GRAN GUERRA: THE CREATION OF THE MEXICAN AMERICAN IDENTITY IN TEXAS, 1836- 1929 A Dissertation by RALPH EDWARD MORALES III Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Carlos Blanton Committee Members, Joseph Dawson R. J. Q. Adams Charles Brooks R. Bruce Dickson Head of Department, David Vaught May 2015 Major Subject: History Copyright 2015 Ralph Edward Morales III ABSTRACT Following the Texas Revolution, the Tejano community made a conscious decision to begin the long process towards accommodation within the American system. This included political alliances between the Tejano landholding elite and major Anglo Texan political figures, such as Sam Houston and John “Rip” Ford. During this era, the Tejano community made alliances of convenience with Anglo Texan politicians in support of the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War. This alliance is best explained by parallels drawn by Tejano politicians between the ideals of Mexican Federalism and the local rule promised by the Southern Confederacy. By the turn of the twentieth century, Anglo-Tejano relations had resumed their antebellum status quo of racial violence and societal marginalization had returned. It is during the early twentieth century that the Tejano community made the decision to embrace a Mexican American Identity that emphasized political participation and loyalty to the United States. The Mexican American identity in the Tejano community was galvanized during these years by the upheaval caused by the Mexican Revolution, the Plan of San Diego and the First World War.

(August 2008) Ralph Edward Morales III, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joseph G. Dawson This thesis discusses the alliance between Tejanos and Anglos in Texas politics in the years before and during the Civil War. To examine this era, original documents and correspondence from prominent Tejano and Anglo politicians are used, as well as military correspondence between Confederate officers during the Civil War. A number of secondary sources dealing with Texas politics, the Civil War, ethnicity, and national identity were also consulted. This project begins with an examination of the antebellum conditions in Texas, and the political crisis which necessitated the convergence of Tejano and southern Democratic interests. Following this, the Civil War career of Colonel Santos Benavides, the most important Tejano to serve the Confederacy is discussed.

  • Civil War Stories
    CIVIL WAR STORIES Santos Benavides The following story, written by, Ewell L. Loudermilk was sent to me by a family member. I wish to express my appreciation. Santos Benavides (Photo at right) was a Confederate Colonel during the American Civil War and was the highest- ranking Tejano soldier in the Confederate military. Benavides was born in November of 1823 to Jose Jesus and Margarita (Ramon) Benavides in Laredo, Texas. He was the Great-Great-Grandson of Tomas Sanchez de la Barrera y Garza, the founder of the city of Laredo. In the civil strife that marked the life of Texas border towns of the 1830's and 40's Benavides sided with the Mexican "Federalists," who desired a Mexican state and local autonomy against the "Centralists" who wanted all power in Mexico to reside in the capital at Mexico City. He joined with and cooperated with the Texas forces under Mirabeau B. Lamar who occupied Laredo during the Mexican-American War (1846 —1848). At this time, he was also an active military leader, leading successful expeditions against the Lipan Apache and other tribes that were harassing the outlying ranches near Laredo. During these campaigns he earned a reputation as a strong military leader and courageous soldier. Benavides was also a successful merchant and rancher and in 1856 at the age of 33 he was elected mayor of Laredo and three years later in 1859, shortly before the outbreak of the War Between the States he was elected Chief Justice of Webb County. Benavides opposed the annexation of the Laredo area by the United States, as called for by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo after the Mexican-American War, because he feared it would compromise the independent character of northern Mexico.

  • The Tejano Tiger: Col. Santos Benavides, Confederate States of Army by Norman Dasinger, April 7, 2020
    The Tejano Tiger: Col. Santos Benavides, Confederate States of Army By Norman Dasinger, April 7, 2020 Blue and Gray Education Society Col. Santos Benavides | Wikipedia In 1971 the Public School System of Laredo, Texas, built a new elementary school. They named it after a Confederate officer. Not Lee, not Jackson—but Col. Santos Benavides. Today, that school still is in existence and still named for the highest ranking Mexican-American who served in the Confederate Army. Santos Benavides, nicknamed the “Merchant Prince of the Rio Grande,” was from Laredo and born in 1823. Earlier, his family had established that town and by 1856 Santos was elected its mayor. When the Civil War began, he was a Webb County judge and entered Confederate service, eventually serving in the 33rd Texas Cavalry, which later was renamed Benavides Regiment. Rising to the rank of colonel, Santos would become the highest ranking Tejano of the over 12,000 that served the Confederacy. One of his assigned duties was to maintain a safe route whereby cotton and other goods could be transported from Texas across the Rio Grande into Mexico for sale. Federal armies stationed in and around modern-day Brownsville continually attacked soldiers and merchants guarding this passageway, but for the most part were unsuccessful in eliminating it from use by the Confederate government. Palmito Ranch battlefield | Wikipedia Benavides had, perhaps, his finest day on March 19, 1864, when 42 of his men defended Laredo against over 200 Federals under the command of Col. Edmund Davis. The Yankees had been ordered to destroy 5,000 bales of cotton being held in the San Augustin Plaza in anticipation of shipment into Mexico.
