Texas Revolution
We will identify the events that occurred in Texas before, during and after the Texas Revolution such as Fredonian Rebellion, the Mier y Terán Report, the Law of April 6, 1830, the Turtle Bayou Resolutions, and the arrest of Stephen F. Austin.
We will explain the roles played by significant individuals during the Texas Revolution, including George Childress, Lorenzo de Zavala, James Fannin, Sam Houston, Antonio López de Santa Anna, Juan N. Seguin, and William B. Travis.
We will use a timeline to discuss important events in the 1820s and 1830s. We will examine the relationship between the Mexican government and the Anglo American settlers in Texas.
We will draw conclusions about why the Convention of 1833 was more successful than the Convention of 1832.
Lastly, we will discuss the issues surrounding significant events of the Texas Revolution, including the Battle of Gonzales, the siege of the Alamo, William B. Travis's letter "To the People of Texas and All Americans in the World," and heroism of the diverse defenders who gave their lives there, Fannin's surrender at Goliad, and the Battle of San Jacinto.
Texas Revolution was a war fought from October 1835 to April 1836 between Mexico and Texas colonists that resulted in Texas’s independence from Mexico.
