Description
-
In this textbook, John and Mary Brown offer a narrative of Texas history beginning with 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 1895, the year of the book’s publication. The book includes notes for teachers and suggestions for students’ rote memorization of content. It is relevant to our archive because of the Browns’ Lost Cause narrative, glorification of the Confederate army, and its lack of information regarding the emancipation of enslaved people in Texans.
