Book Synopsis Tejanos and Texas Under the Mexican Flag, 1821-1836 by : Andrés Tijerina
Download or read book Tejanos and Texas Under the Mexican Flag, 1821-1836 written by Andrés Tijerina and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be sure, the dramatic shift in land and resources greatly affected the Mexican, but it had its effect on the Anglo American as well. After the 1820s, many of the Anglo-American pioneers changed from buckskin-clad farmers to cattle ranchers who wore boots and "cowboy" hats. They learned to ride heavy Mexican saddles mounted on horses taken from the wild mustang herds of Texas. They drove great herds of longhorns north and westward, spreading the Mexican life-style and ranch economy as they went. With the cattle ranch went many words, practices, and legal principles that had been developed long before by the native Mexicans of Texas - the Tejanos.
Book Synopsis The United States and Mexico, 1835-1837 (Classic Reprint) by : Eugene Campbell Barker
Download or read book The United States and Mexico, 1835-1837 (Classic Reprint) written by Eugene Campbell Barker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States and Mexico, 1835-1837 While there is no evidence that the anglo-american colonists settled Texas with the intention of tearing it from Mexico and annexing it to the United States, they formed by their immigra tion no real ties with Mexico and broke none with the United States. A perennial state of revolution compelled the govern ment to leave them largely to their own devices in local affairs, and an unwise suspension of the tariff in their favor encouraged trade with the United States instead of with Mexico. Vessels rarely sailed between Texan and Mexican ports, though both had regular connections with New Orleans. It 13 not surprising, / therefore, that the Texans turned to the people of the United/ States for aid at the beginning of their contest with Mexico.

Book Synopsis Tejanos in the 1835 Texas Revolution by : L. Lloyd MacDonald
Download or read book Tejanos in the 1835 Texas Revolution written by L. Lloyd MacDonald and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, hundreds of hardy frontiersmen from the United States settled in Texas after the Mexican government made them an attractive offer. Fertile land and protection by a fair and stable government was promised to anyone willing to establish a homestead in Texas, and soon more than 25,000 colonists from the United States were in Texas, forging a new life alongside their native-born Mexican neighbors. By 1830, however, Pres. Antonio López de Santa Anna had assumed dictatorial power in Mexico. His policies and those of the new "Centralist" government were enacted to terrify the American colonists (Texians) and Mexicans (Tejanos) who were seeking protection of the rights originally promised to them by the Mexican government. What resulted was the Texas Revolution--the bloody battle for the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto--effectively ending Mexican control of the province and giving rise to the Republic of Texas. Unlike many of its predecessors in the study of the Texas Revolution, this detailed and candid history provides a focused study of the lesser-known frontiersmen and their Mexican allies, along with the women and children they protected. Rich in first-person anecdotes recounting the years leading up to the fight for the Alamo, the days spent within its walls, and its aftermath, this well-informed chronicle pays long-due attention to the often-overlooked contributions by Tejanos as well as the thirty-two volunteers from Gonzales who determinedly sought to defend their rights. Enhanced by maps and illustrations devotedly handcrafted into leather by the author, this volume stands out as a unique examination of the joint struggle of the Mexicans and Americans who sought to overthrow Santa Anna's tyranny in the 1830s.

Book Synopsis Homesteads Ungovernable by : Mark M. Carroll
Download or read book Homesteads Ungovernable written by Mark M. Carroll and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he settled in Mexican Texas in 1832 and began courting Anna Raguet, Sam Houston had been separated from his Tennessee wife Eliza Allen for three years, while having already married and divorced his Cherokee wife Tiana and at least two other Indian "wives" during the interval. Houston's political enemies derided these marital irregularities, but in fact Houston's legal and extralegal marriages hardly set him apart from many other Texas men at a time when illicit and unstable unions were common in the yet-to-be-formed Lone Star State. In this book, Mark Carroll draws on legal and social history to trace the evolution of sexual, family, and racial-caste relations in the most turbulent polity on the southern frontier during the antebellum period (1823-1860). He finds that the marriages of settlers in Texas were typically born of economic necessity and that, with few white women available, Anglo men frequently partnered with Native American, Tejano, and black women. While identifying a multicultural array of gender roles that combined with law and frontier disorder to destabilize the marriages of homesteaders, he also reveals how harsh living conditions, land policies, and property rules prompted settling spouses to cooperate for survival and mutual economic gain. Of equal importance, he reveals how evolving Texas law reinforced the substantial autonomy of Anglo women and provided them material rewards, even as it ensured that cross-racial sexual relationships and their reproductive consequences comported with slavery and a regime that dispossessed and subordinated free blacks, Native Americans, and Tejanos.
Book Synopsis Stephen F. Austin by : Gregg Cantrell
Download or read book Stephen F. Austin written by Gregg Cantrell and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas State Historical Association is pleased to offer a reprint edition of Stephen F. Austin: Empresario of Texas, Gregg Cantrell’s path-breaking biography of the founder of Anglo Texas. Cantrell’s portrait goes beyond the traditional interpretation of Austin as the man who spearheaded American Manifest Destiny. Cantrell portrays Austin as a borderlands figure who could navigate the complex cultural landscape of 1820s Texas, then a portion of Mexico. His command of the Spanish language, respect for the Mexican people, and ability to navigate the shoals of Mexican politics made him the perfect advocate for his colonists and often for all of Texas. Yet when conflicts between Anglo colonists and Mexican authorities turned violent, Austin’s accomodationist stance became outdated. Overshadowed by the military hero Sam Houston, he died at the age of forty-three, just six months after Texas independence. Decades after his death, Austin’s reputation was resurrected and he became known as the “Father of Texas.” More than just an icon, Stephen F. Austin emerges from these pages as a shrewd, complicated, and sometimes conflicted figure.

Download or read book Habits of Empire written by Walter Nugent and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding, the United States' declared principles of liberty and democracy have often clashed with aggressive policies of imperial expansion. In this sweeping narrative history, acclaimed scholar Walter Nugent explores this fundamental American contradiction by recounting the story of American land acquisition since 1782 and shows how this steady addition of territory instilled in the American people a habit of empire-building. From America's early expansions into Transappalachia and the Louisiana Purchase through later additions of Alaska and island protectorates in the Caribbean and Pacific, Nugent demonstrates that the history of American empire is a tale of shifting motives, as the early desire to annex land for a growing population gave way to securing strategic outposts for America's global economic and military interests. Thorough, enlightening, and well-sourced, this book explains the deep roots of American imperialism as no other has done.
