Powerpoint Presentation The Texas Revolution Do we have expectations of modern day immigrants? What are those expectations? Spanish Texas The Spanish had been in the Americas since Columbus in 1492. Spain owned a large part of North America, including Texas. The Spanish Settle Texas The mission system The mission system ends The Spanish attempted to settle Native Americans rejected Texas by building missions, small mission life, where they were settlements designed to convert expected to give up their culture the Indians to Christianity. as well as their religion. The Spanish had effectively used Some Indian groups viewed the the mission system in Mexico.

In 1762, France ceded to Despite Spanish hopes, the Spain much of its land claim in missions failed and the towns North America. never flourished. By 1800, Spain still claimed Texas, but had only three settlements in the region. Tejanos In 1821, only about 4,000 Tejanos lived in Texas. Tejanos are people of Spanish heritage who consider Texas their home. The Spanish government tried to attract Spanish setters to Texas, but very few came. Moses Austin An American, Moses Austin was given permission by the Spanish government to start a colony in Texas. All the Americans had to do was follow Spanish laws. Moses died in 1821, so his son Stephen tried to start the colony. In 1821, Mexico won independence from Spain Mexican Independence Changes Texas The Mexican government told Stephen Austin his settlers would have to become Mexican citizens and members of the Roman Catholic Church, and learn Spanish. Between 1821 and 1827, Austin attracted 297 families to his new settlement. The success of Austin’s colony attracted more land speculators and settlers to Texas from the United States. Some were looking for a new life, some were escaping from the law, and others were looking for a chance to grow rich. By 1830, the population had swelled to about 30,000,with Americans outnumbering the Tejanos six to one. Rising Tensions in Texas In 1829, the Mexican government outlawed slavery. The settlers wanted to keep their slaves so they could grow cotton. The Americans also didn’t want to learn Spanish or follow Mexican laws. Very few settlers had converted to Catholicism. In 1829, the Mexican government closed the state to further American immigration. Texans had to start paying taxes for the first time. Mexican president, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna sent more Mexican troops to Texas. Texans began talk of breaking away from Mexico. When Stephen Austin was jailed, the Texans did revolt. Santa Anna led 6,000 troops to Texas to put down the revolt. The Alamo The first battle between the Texans and Mexicans took place at on old mission that was used as a fort. It was called the Alamo. The Fight for the Alamo There were only 183 Texans guarding the Alamo. The Mexican army had 1,800 men. The Texans held the Alamo for twelve days. On the thirteenth day, Santa Anna ordered his men to storm the fortress. When it was over, all but five Texans were dead. The men not killed in the battle were executed by Santa Anna. Texans were shocked by the slaughter at the Alamo and vowed to fight for their freedom. Fighting for Independence The Runaway Scrape Texans victorious Santa Anna’s army continued to Santa Anna’s army followed defeat the Texan rebels. Houston’s forces to San Jacinto, Prisoners were held in the where Houston managed to take presidio at Goliad. the Mexican army by surprise. Texans shouted, “Remember the After Mexican soldiers executed Alamo!” and “Remember Goliad!” 340 prisoners at Goliad, Houston as they won a quick victory. retreated to the east with his poorly trained army. The captured Santa Anna was forced to sign the Treaties of Word of Houston’s retreat and the Velasco, ending the war. Mexico news of the Goliad Massacre had to withdraw its troops and started a panic. recognize Texas independence. In what would be called the Problems with Mexico continued Runaway Scrape, thousands of for the Republic of Texas. Texans, including many Tejanos, fled Santa Anna’s advancing army. General Santa Anna surrenders to General Houston Lone Star Republic In 1836, Texas declared itself The Lone Star Republic. Sam Houston was elected president. Some Americans wanted Texas to be part of the U.S. Some people were afraid of Texas becoming a slave state, others of war with Mexico. Both would eventually happen. .

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History D. Harland Hagler, Committee Member Denis Paz, Committee Member Sandra L.

Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2011, 275 pp., 3 tables, 2 illustrations, bibliography, 327 titles. This dissertation uses archival and interpretive methods to examine the life and contributions of Mary Smith McCrory Jones in Texas. Specifically, this project investigates the ways in which Mary Jones emerged into the public sphere, utilized myth and memory, and managed her life as a widow. Each of these larger areas is examined in relation to historiographicaly accepted patterns and in the larger context of women in Texas, the South, and the nation during this period. Mary Jones, 1819-1907, experienced many of the key early periods in Anglo Texas history. The research traces her family’s immigration to Austin’s Colony and their early years under Mexican sovereignty. The Texas Revolution resulted in her move to Houston and her first brief marriage. Following the death of her husband she met and married Anson Jones, a physician who served in public posts throughout the period of the Texas Republic. Over time Anson was politically and personally rejected to the point that he committed suicide.

  • Independence Trail Region, Known As the “Cradle of Texas Liberty,” Comprises a 28-County Area Stretching More Than 200 Miles from San Antonio to Galveston
    n the saga of Texas history, no era is more distinctive or accented by epic events than Texas’ struggle for independence and its years as a sovereign republic. During the early 1800s, Spain enacted policies to fend off the encroachment of European rivals into its New World territories west of Louisiana. I As a last-ditch defense of what’s now Texas, the Spanish Crown allowed immigrants from the U.S. to settle between the Trinity and Guadalupe rivers. The first settlers were the Old Three Hundred families who established Stephen F. Austin’s initial colony. Lured by land as cheap as four cents per acre, homesteaders came to Texas, first in a trickle, then a flood. In 1821, sovereignty shifted when Mexico won independence from Spain, but Anglo-American immigrants soon outnumbered Tejanos (Mexican-Texans). Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna seized control of Mexico in 1833 and gripped the country with ironhanded rule. By 1835, the dictator tried to stop immigration to Texas, limit settlers’ weapons, impose high tariffs and abolish slavery — changes resisted by most Texans. Texas The Independence ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Trail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On March 2, 1836, after more than a year of conclaves, failed negotiations and a few armed conflicts, citizen delegates met at what’s now Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared Texas independent.

BURNEY About three and one-half miles out of Anderson on the Anderson-Navasota Highway is what is believed to be one of the oldest Anglo houses in Texas-the Francis Holland House. Dating from the earliest days of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, the house has been the scene of more tragedy than triumph. Stra­ tegically located on the early immigrant trails, the dwelling was a place of hospi­ • tality for early colonists as they headed toward the La Bahia cros..'ling of the Brazos River and down to San Felipe de Austin. It was a gathering place for colonists as they came to cast their votes for officers in the Austin Colony. During the spring of 1834, as dreaded cholera crept up the Brazos, disease almost wiped out all of the residents of the house.

  • Runaway Scrape
    THE RUNAWAY SCRAPE A Novel Billy Loran Moore Royal Fireworks Press Unionville, New York Prologue At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Texas was part of the Spanish colony that included Mexico. In 1821, Mexico won its independence from Spain, and its territory included Texas. The Mexicans welcomed settlers from the United States, and by 1830, there were four times as many Anglos as people of Mexican origin living in the territory. When Santa Anna, the Mexican president, suspended the Mexican constitution and began to restrict the rights of people living in Mexico, the Anglos resisted and moved to establish an independent Texas in 1835. In 1836, Santa Anna led the Mexican army into Texas to put down the rebellion. In early March, Santa Anna’s army killed the entire force of Texans who were defending the Alamo in San Antonio. Texas’s largest army, under the command of Colonel James Fannin, surrendered at Coleto Creek and in late March was executed en masse outside of Goliad. Smaller forces were wiped out at Refugio and San Patricio. Santa Anna had thousands of troops crossing Texas faced by nothing but a shadow of an army that Sam Houston was desperately trying to recruit and organize as a fighting force. Santa Anna vowed to destroy every person in Texas, and he sent his armies ravaging across the state to make good on that threat. Texans fled toward safety in the United States. Many of those fleeing were women and children whose husbands and fathers had died in earlier debacles in the war or who were off trying to help Sam Houston form an army.
