Time for a Decision While one group of revolutionaries was fighting for Texas on the battlefield, another group was meeting to decide Texas’s fate. The defend- ers at the Alamo were under fire from Santa Anna, and Texas still had not officially declared independence from Mexico. When delegates to the first Consultation met in November 1835, they had a decision to make. Should they support Texas remaining a part of Mexico and continue to work on restoring the state’s rights granted in the Constitution of 1824? Or should they seek independence? They called a second meeting of the Consultation on March 1, 1836, hoping that events would help them make their decision.

  • Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas
    MARY JONES: LAST FIRST LADY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS Birney Mark Fish, B.A., M.Div. 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. Spencer, Committee Member and Director of the Women’s Studies Program James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Fish, Birney Mark. 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.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION II THE WAR AND PEACE PARTIES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY TEXAS, 1832-1835 by lodella D. 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.

  • Chapter Summary Lesson 1: the Texas Revolution Begins
    NAME DATE CLASS Chapter Summary Steps Toward Independence Lesson 1: The Texas Revolution Begins • The arrival of General Martín de Cós with more Mexican soldiers worried Texas settlers. As a result, the settlers started committees of correspondence to unify Texans. • The first conflict of the Texas Revolution was the Battle of Gonzales on October 2, 1835. The battle, which was a victory for the Texans, began when Mexican forces tried to take away a cannon located in Gonzales. • After Texan forces took control of Goliad, troops under Stephen F. Austin advanced toward San Antonio and laid siege to the city. • Delegates attending the Consultation of 1835 were divided on whether or not Texas should declare its independence. The Consultation eventually adopted the “Declaration of the People of Texas in General Convention Assembled.” It also formed a provisional government and created the Army of the People under the command of Sam Houston. Lesson 2: The Winter of 1835–1836 • On November 26, 1835, Texan troops attacked a mule train heading toward San Antonio. This battle is known as the “Grass Fight” because the mules were carrying grass to feed Spanish livestock. • Benjamin Milam led a force of men to attack San Antonio. The resulting Battle of San Antonio de Béxar lasted four days. On December 9, 1835, San Antonio fell to the Texans. • The Army of the People included Tejano and African American fighters. After Mexico had gained independence from Spain, Mexico passed a law that declared freed African Americans equals to Anglo American colonists. Because of this decision, many African Americans moved to Texas looking for a better life.

  • Mapping-Texas-History-Colonization-To
    INTRODUCTION TO SECOND EDITION The Alamo's Texas Maps for Teachers recognizes that history and geography are inseparable. This project was conceived after listening to teachers voice their concerns that current maps detailing Texas early history were inadequate for their needs. These new maps have been designed by educators for educators. A textual description for each map was written by Dr. Richard B. Winders, Historian & Curator for the Alamo. Dr. Donald S. Frazier, Professor of History at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, produced the maps. The two educators have worked together on other projects for publishers Houghton Mifflin and Macmillan Reference. Texas Maps for Teachers has several different uses: It is a supplemental reader for teachers unfamiliar with Texas History. The comprehensive overview of important events and themes should be useful to any teacher. Overhead transparencies of the maps it can be produced for use in the classroom by scanning them into a computer and printing them onto commercially available transparency film. Used in combination with the textual descriptions, Texas Maps for Teachers can be used as a mini-textbook for Texas history from 1700 through 1850. The Alamo would like to thank several individuals who contributed their time by reviewing and commenting on this project at various stages. Dr. Ron Tyler, Executive Director of the Texas State Historical Association, offered valuable suggestions that were incorporated into the text and maps. Two teacher in San Antonio's North East Independent School District provided input from their respective grade levels: Barbara Yost, Windcrest Elementary School and Michael Bailey, Omar N.
