Download or read book The Robertsons the Sutherlands and the Making of Texas written by Anne H. Sutherland and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Texans, or their ancestors, started as something else. The families that came here molded the state and were molded by it. Anne H. Sutherland explores just how the experiences of two of the early Anglo land-grant families--the Robertsons and the Sutherlands--shaped Texas events and how the families handed down those experiences from one generation to another, transforming two Scots-Irish families into what in hindsight we have branded Anglo-Texans.
Download or read book The Shattering of Texas Unionism written by Dale Baum and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a rare departure from the narrow periodization that marks past studies of Texas politics during the Civil War era, this sweeping work tracks the leadership and electoral basis of politics in the Lone Star State from secession all the way through Reconstruction. Employing a combination of traditional historical sources and cutting-edge quantitative analyses of county voting returns, Dale Baum painstakingly explores the double collapse of Texas unionism—first as a bulwark against secession in the winter of 1860–1861 and then in the late 1860s as a foundation upon which to build a truly biracial society. By carefully tracing the shifting alliances of voters from one election to the next, Baum charts the dramatic assemblage and subsequent breakup of Sam Houston’s coalition on the eve of the war, evaluates the social and economic bases of voting in the secession referendum, and appraises the extent to which intimidation of anti-secessionists shaped the state’s decision to leave the Union. He also examines the ensuing voting behavior of Confederate Texans and shows precisely how antebellum alignments and issues carried over into the war years. Finally, he describes the impact on the state’s electoral politics brought about by the policies of President Andrew Johnson and by broad programs of revolutionary change under Congressional Reconstruction. Baum presents the most sophisticated examination yet of white voter disfranchisement and apathy under Congressional Reconstruction and of the social and political origins of the state’s Radical Republican “scalawag” constituency. He also provides a rigorous statistical investigation of one of the most controversial elections ever held in Texas—the 1869 governor’s race, lost by conservative Republican Andrew Jackson Hamilton to Radical Edmund J. Davis, which nonetheless effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction. Through his innovative exploration of unionist sentiment in Texas, Baum illuminates the most turbulent political period in the history of the state, interpreting both the weight of continuity and the force of change that swept over it before, during, and immediately after the American Civil War. Students of the South, the Civil War, and African American history, as well as sociologists and political scientists interested in election fraud, political violence, and racial strife, will benefit from this significant volume.
Download or read book Texian Exodus written by Stephen L. Hardin and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the Mexican army crossed the Rio Grande in early 1836, communities in the south-central portions of Texas began to leave the area. After the Alamo fell in March of 1836, Sam Houston dispatched couriers to carry the news across Texas. Frightened Texians used any means of transportation, or none at all, to leave, often without any preparation. The mass evacuation congealed as groups, including soldiers, helped one another toward the Sabine River (the border with Louisiana) or Galveston Island. On April 21, 1836, the retreating Texian army doubled back and surprised Santa Anna's forces while they were at rest, routing the Mexicans and essentially securing Texas's independence. The "Runaway Scrape," as it came to be known, ended when news of the decisive battle at San Jacinto spread, announcing Texas's separation from Mexico. First-hand accounts by the Anglo-American colonists, Tejano residents, and enslaved people provide the backbone of the narrative, bolstered with original interpretation and analysis"--

Download or read book Secession and the Union in Texas written by Walter L. Buenger and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of secession in the Lone Star State offers both a vivid narrative and a powerful case study of the broader secession movement. In 1845, Texans voted overwhelmingly to join the Union. Then, in 1861, they voted just as overwhelmingly to secede. The story of why and how that happened is filled with colorful characters, raiding Comanches, German opponents of slavery, and a border with Mexico. It also has important implications for our understanding of secession across the South. Combining social and political history, Walter L. Buenger explores issues such as public hysteria, the pressure for consensus, and the vanishing of a political process in which rational debate about secession could take place. Drawing on manuscript collections and contemporary newspapers, Buenger also analyzes election returns, population shifts, and the breakdown of populations within Texas counties. Buenger demonstrates that Texans were not simply ardent secessionists or committed unionists. At the end of 1860, the majority fell between these two extremes, creating an atmosphere of ambivalence toward secession which was not erased even by the war.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Decades in Texas; Or Memoirs of Francis Richard Lubbock, Governor of Texas in War Time, 1861-63: A Personal Experience in Business, War, and Politics The man who has protested, from the writing of the first page to the last, that he could not write a book, has writ a book; and if there is anything of profit or pleasure in it for the people of Texas, they must attribute it, first, to my devoted wife, and second, to my able editor. The former tolled me along as a woman knows how to toll a man until she got volumes of manuscript from my memory dotted down by my rapid pen; the latter culled it to fill one volume of medium size. It does not claim to be a history of Texas, but a personal memoir interspersed with such public events as came into my mind, and it extends over the entire life of the Republic and the Confederacy, coming down in a more desultory way to the present time.

Download or read book Violence and Culture in the Antebellum South written by Dickson D. Bruce and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book draws from a variety of sources—literature, politics, folklore, social history—to attempt to set Southern beliefs about violence in a cultural context. According to Dickson D. Bruce, the control of violence was a central concern of antebellum Southerners. Using contemporary sources, Bruce describes Southerners’ attitudes as illustrated in their duels, hunting, and the rhetoric of their politicians. He views antebellum Southerners as pessimistic and deeply distrustful of social relationships and demonstrates how this world view impelled their reliance on formal controls to regularize human interaction. The attitudes toward violence of masters, slaves, and “plain-folk”—the three major social groups of the period—are differentiated, and letters and family papers are used to illustrate how Southern child-rearing practices contributed to attitudes toward violence in the region. The final chapter treats Edgar Allan Poe as a writer who epitomized the attitudes of many Southerners before the Civil War.
