Description
-
In this textbook, Dudley G. Wooten provides a narrative of Texas history from the beginning of European colonization in 1492, followed by the periods of Spanish colonization and Indigenous genocide; Mexican independence; American colonization and the introduction of slavery; the Texas war for independence; the Republic era; the first U.S. statehood era; the Confederate era and Civil War; Reconstruction; and recent events through 1899, the year of the book’s publication. Its relevance to our archive lies in Wooten’s minimal discussion of emancipation of enslaved people in 1865, disapproval of Reconstruction, and downplaying the Ku Klux Klan’s activities in Reconstruction Texas.
