Kite Although many people are conversant with the Texas Revolution and events leading to it, relatively little research has been published until recently on the War and Peace parties of 1832-1835. These two factions within the Anglo-American population of Texas helped to sway public opinion both for and against armed conflict in the crucial days leading to the revolution. The War and Peace parties cannot be defined easily because they were not established political parties. They were labels faT persons of opposing political dispositions. Both factions surfaced during the disturbances of 1832. Members of the War Party either participated in the disturbances or condoned them. The Peace Party, probably repre­ senting more Texans throughout the period, loudly criticized the agita­ tion.

  • Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER of ARTS
    /3 9 THE TEXAS REVOLUTION AS AN INTERNAL CONSPIRACY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Patsy Joyce Waller,. B. A. Denton, Texas June, 1965 PREFACE In the past many causes for the Texas Revolution of 1835 1836 have been suggested. Various politicians, such as John Quincy Adams, and such abolitionists as Benjamin Lundy and William Ellery Channing have charged that the struggle for independence represented a deliberate conspiracy on the part of vested economic groups in the United States--a plot on the part of southern slaveholders and northern land specula- tors to take over Texas in order to extend the slaveholding territory of the United States. Those who opposed President Andrew Jackson maintained that the Texas revolt was planned by Jackson in co-operation with Sam Houston for the purpose of obtaining Texas for the United States in order to bring into the Union a covey of slave states that would fortify and perpetuate slavery. The detailed studies of Eugene C. Barker, George L. Rives, William C. Binkley, and other historians have disproved these theories. No documentary evidence exists to show that the settlement of Texas or the Texas Revolution constituted any kind of conspiracy on the part of the United States, neither the government nor its inhabitants. The idea of the Texas Revolution as an internal con- spiracy cannot be eliminated. This thesis describes the role of a small minorit: of the wealthier settlers in Texas in iii precipitating the Texas Revolution for their own economic reasons.

  • Texas: the Complete Story
    Texas: The Complete Story Preface The Texas history I learned in school was so glorious and so alien to me. The events and the personalities in these accounts were so much bigger than life yet so distant and surreal and this in spite of being a descendant of one of the families that settled in South Texas in 1748. Real Texans came from Tennessee and they brought with them energy, know-how and democracy while we did nothing of value. We were just here. Later, in college, history courses became more interesting with more discussions and more challenges, yet it was still alien. Some Hispanic names were mentioned, Juan Seguin who actually fought at San Jacinto, Lorenzo de Zavala, interim vice president of the Republic of Texas and a few others, but nothing really specific other than they were on the Texian side of the conflict. Some of the books even mentioned that many Tejanos joined the Anglos in their fight for independence, but it was more of an after-thought stated to show inclusion and highlight the evilness of Santa Anna without delving into the Tejano motives or visions of their future. And though over half of the names of places in the state, including the name of the state itself, were in Spanish, we remained on the periphery and were not included in its history. Introduction Between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande River, the area where my family settled, the situation, as far as being included in its history, was even worse than north of the Nueces.

    THE RUNAWAY SCRAPE: THE NON-COMBATANTS IN THE TEXAS REVOLUTION BY MRS. DILUE ROSE HARRIS The following is a part of the "Reminiscences" of Mrs. Dilue Rose Harris, daughter of Dr. Pleasant W. Rose, concerning the critical period from June 1835 leading up to the Texas War of Independence, the flight after fall of the Alamo and Goliad and the return after the victory at San Jacinto. The excerpt is from Readings in Texas History Eugene Barker and the entire piece was first published in the Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association, IV, 85-127, 155-189, VII, 214-222. This part is from IV, 124-127, 156-179. The recollections of Mrs. Harris were based on her experience at the time, later interviews and her father's diary. June, 1835.-School and War. School commenced the first of June. There were only ten pupils, three girls, six boys and one young man, Harvey Stafford. The teacher boarded around among the neighbors. We had been going to school two weeks when there was another excitement. Father went to Harrisburg and found the men making threats against the garrison at Anahuac. Mr. Andrew Briscoe had a large stock of goods there, and it was the chief port of entry east of the Brazos. Captain Tenorio, the Mexican custom house officer, would not allow him to sell goods without a permit from the custom house. When father left Harrisburg the men and boys were drilling and threatening to disarm the garrison. Mr. Choate, Dave Harris, and father advised them not to do it, as Stephen F.

  • Chapter 8: Growing Tensions
    Growing Te nsions Why It Matters Tensions increased between Texans and the Mexican government in the 1820s and 1830s. Some Texans believed that separation from Mexico—even if it meant war—was the only solution to their grievances. Other Texans believed it was possible to remain a part of Mexico. Stephen F. Austin’s imprisonment in Mexico City pushed many Texans into believing that war was necessary. The Impact Today Almost all conflicts have two results that last longer than the wars themselves. First, hatred and suspicion often remain on both sides. Second, acts of courage are remembered long after the war. The Texas Revolution had both results. 1823 ★ Santa Anna rebels against Mexico’s Emperor 1826 Augustín de Iturbide ★ The Fredonian Revolt 18231825 1826 1828 1825 1828 • World’s first public • Noah Webster published railroad opened in an American dictionary Great Britain 184 CHAPTER 8 Growing Tensions Cause-Effect Study Foldable Make this foldable to organize information and describe the events that led to growing tensions in Texas during the 1820s and the 1830s.
