    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.

    Beyond the Battleground: the Competing Legacies of San Jacinto by James E

    Beyond The Battleground: The Competing Legacies Of San Jacinto BY JAMES E. CRISP you were to ask the average Houstonian to describe the legacy of the Battle of I f San Jacinto, the answer might well be: “Look around you!” In other words, all that Houston is today – all of the political and economic development of Texas and the American Southwest through the last 171 years – is sometimes attributed to the outcome of the test of arms and courage on that pivotal day of April 21, 1836. But put aside for a moment the claim of the battle’s “decisiveness.” It is, after all, a very dubious proposition that a different outcome on that single day would have permanently put a stop to the expansion of the United States across the territories of northern Mexico, given the growing disparity in power and population between Mexico and the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. Rather than imagining what might have been had Santa Anna won the contest that day, think instead about another kind of “legacy.” How does this event from the distant past shape the way we think about ourselves and our world today? 6010845_UofH_Text.indd 12 10/13/10 6:12:34 AM Henry A.

    Annual Report Dear Friends

    Annual Report Dear Friends, All year long, your support helps thousands of Austin children and young people develop the social and emotional skills they will need to succeed in and beyond the classroom. The 2012 - 2013 school year brought more opportunities to work with youth and educators in Central Texas. As our programs expand, our vision for youth remains focused - all young people deserve access to a creative learning environment. At Creative Action, we do much more than develop our students’ artistic skills. We know that through our creative learning programs students discover their own voice, gain confidence in sharing their perspectives, wrestle with big ideas, and deeply engage in the world around them. No other arts organization in Central Texas reaches more youth. And we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you!
