Click the Speaker buttonto replay the audio.

Europeans had ruled the New World for centuries. In the late 1700s people in the Americas began to throw off European rule. The thirteen English colonies were first. The French colony of Haiti was next. Texas was one part of the grand story of independence of the Spanish colonies. For the people living in Texas, though, the transition from Spanish province to a territory in the independent nation of Mexico was tremendously important.

Why It Matters

• Texas was the region of North America in which Spanish, French, English, and Native Americans met.

The Impact Today

• Contact among people encourages new ways of thinking. Later the number of groups in Texas increased as African and Asian people, as well as others from all over the world, brought their cultures.

Because so many historical events are related, cause-and-effect chains can be very long and can include events that happen over a long period of time. One effect may be produced by various causes. One event can produce several different effects.

Determining Cause and Effect

When you are reading history, look for words and phrases such as because, as a result, for this reason, led to, produced, therefore, brought about, since and caused that indicate cause-and-effect relationships.

Spain’s dependence on treasure from the Americas caused it to neglect its own business and agriculture. So Spain grew weaker as France and other countries grew stronger.

September 16, Diez y Seis de Septiembre, is to Mexico what the Fourth of July is to the United States. Tejanos and other Mexican Americans celebrate both holidays as important links to their past.

The first three presidents of Texas–David G. Burnet, Sam Houston, and Mirabeau B. Lamar–were guests at Jane Long’s hotel. Long lived to the age of 82 and died on December 30, 1880.

Disputes about the Texas–Louisiana boundary persisted until 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the boundary between Texas and Louisiana was the middle of the Sabine River.
