Tejanos in Texas
Texas revolution is one of historys biggest incidences of rebellion from Anglo colonists and Tejanos against the central government of Mexico. There were differences between the settlements of Tejanos and Anglo colonists despite having fought the Texas Revolution together. Exemplary bravery has been witnessed for the generations to come in the Texas revolution; still, the frontier culture of Anglo colonists was no match for the Tejanos. They were quite great in numbers and had access to better technology (Davis, 2013). Their communication and possession of better weapons were already evident to the rest of the populations in the region. Before the revolution, as Tejanos were a minority, they had to face racial prejudice. Anglo citizens showed repulsive behaviors and misinterpreted their behaviors (Convention, Washington-on-Brazos, 1836, n.a.). However, there were instances where both supported each other as their motive for the revolution was the same. They agreed to fight for the government system, the tax system, and the tyranny they were suffering from. The main focus of the revolution was the uncontrolled dictatorship by the government at that time, which was completely unacceptable to both.
Immediately after the Texas revolution, the relationship between Tejanos and Anglo colonists was tense. Although Tejanos and Anglo colonists fought side by side for independence, Anglo colonists still believed that their culture was superior to Tejanos (Denial, n.a.). Even their racial conflicts were higher than expected since Tejanos wanted to collaborate with Anglo leaders, but the idea did not materialize. Anglo colonists political and cultural independence from Tejanos soon started becoming obvious. The basic citizenship rights were snatched from Tejanos gradually. The voting right was seized, and a refusal to give land rights to Tejanos. They forced them to move to other regions. They pushed them to leave their farms. Government positions were snatched from. In some instances, police violence was used against Tejanos (Little, 2018).

Texas Prison Reform: A Success Story Government The prison population in the United States experienced an unprecedented expansion between the 1970s and the end of the first decade of the 21st century (Editorial Board, 2013).

Texas Military Engagements,1836-1865 Major Military Engagements Texas 1836-1865 Texas engaged in many military battles between 1836 and 1865. It is difficult to evaluate how Texans performed in the theatre of war without evaluating multiple military episodes including the Texas Revolution, the Mexican War, The Civil War and the multiple wars against Indian renegades (Barker & Pohl, 2001). For the most part many credit Texans with achieving tremendous military accomplishments. There are however
