Republic of Texas, we will study the events that occurred during the time period of the Republic of Texas (1836 - 1845).

We will describe the significance of the presidencies of Sam Houston and Mirabeau Lamar and identify the differences between the two presidents of Texas.

We will use a timeline to understand what events were occurring in the United States and other countries as Texas tried to build a new nation.  

Part of our study will focus on describing the ways that Houston tried to solve the republic’s problems such as identifying the problems that existed with Mexico and Native Americans when President Houston took office.

We will explain Lamar’s legacy and its impact on the republic, as well as describe why Houston easily won a second term as president, identify the changes Houston made during his second term, and describe the foreign and domestic conflicts with which Houston dealt.
