Native Americans are a central pillar in the history of Texas. Texas is one of the most critical states to them. Their story revolves around the exploitation of the natural resources in their places of origin, and it shapes their interactions with the European colonialists and subsequent governments. The acquisition of the Indian lands by the American colonial government through treaties was the first type of contact that the Indian communities had with the government. The primary treatment of Native Americans by their government subjected them to duress, pressures, undue influence, and policies that produced uncertainty, despair, and frustration.
The History of Texas Texas history itself had its own amazing story. The small number of American settlers moved to the land of Texas had led to the dramatic war with the Mexicans. The land of Texas was used to be owned by
Texas, nicknamed “The Lone star State”, has always been very unique compared to any other state in the United States of America. Texas have a sense of great pride in where they come from. Texans hold their heads a just a little higher than anyone else. Texas is the second largest state in the U.S., Texans have their own pledge of allegiance to the state flag, and is the only state whose flag is permitted to fly as high as the American flag. So, why is it that Texans take so much pride in their own state? Texans take great pride in their state because at one point before Texas was a state belonging to the United States, it was its own country. This is how Texas got its name as the “Lone star” State. In nineteenth century, Texas fought many battles against Mexico and its leader Santa Anna, to gain Independence from the country. After many hostel wars and lives lost, Texas made a break through at the Battle of San Jacinto and conquered the Mexican government in the year 1836, becoming the new Republic of Texas. It then remained Independent for almost ten years. Our Independence and history of secession runs through our veins. The topic is a reoccurring one when it comes to politics. In recent years, there have been talks if Texas should secede from the United States again like they did in 1836. According to a poll in 2009, it showed that “50% Republicans, 40% Independents, and 15% Democrats believed that Texas should stand as an independent nation.” “338157 Texans have already

Growing up in the same city for just about your whole life gets you accustomed to the same routine everyday. You know where you're going, you see all too familiar faces, and life just seems so bland. That was my case. I've lived in San Antonio for all my seventeen years of life, and have always wanted a sense of venture. However, when the summer of my Junior year came around, that completely changed.

DALLAS, TEXAS. Dallas is on the Trinity River in the center of Dallas County in North Central Texas. It is crossed by Interstate highways 20, 30, 35, and 45. The city was founded by John Neely Bryan, who settled on the east bank of the Trinity near a natural ford in November 1841. Bryan had picked the best spot for a trading post to serve the population migrating into the region. The ford, at the intersection of two major Indian traces, provided the only good crossing point for miles. Two highways proposed by the Republic of Texas soon converged nearby. Unknown to Bryan, however, he had settled on land granted by the republic to the Texan Land and Emigration Company of St. Louis, headed by William S. Peters. Bryan eventually legalized his
Dallas is by no means the best in the league, but they are the most talked about. It doesn't matter how good any other team is, Dallas is always talked about. They are, after all, America's team. Tony Romo was injured toward the end of the season, he was the talk of the town.

Even though the odds of that are very slim, critics love to talk about the Cowboys. In this case, the injury brought publicity to their team.
Even after the defeat of the Mexican army at San Jacinto, Texans faced as uncertain a future as that which they experienced during the revolution. In this context, the myths that were created during this period offered means for understanding certain events of the past and connecting these events to their conceptualization of the world around them. Furthermore, the placing events that describe the beginnings of Texas in narrative form included value judgements that assigned meaning to the occurrences. Over the years, the rhetorical myths about Texas were told and retold until characters and incidents that did not exist in 1836, replace those that did and saturate contemporary conceptualization of the state and its people. It is the shelf-life of Texas mythology that is perhaps the most impressive and confounding characteristic of the state’s cultural identity. The heroic legacy of the Alamo defenders, if not all those who participated in Texas’ revolutionary past, assume a place of reverence in the imagination of modern Texans, and in particular, Anglo-Texans whose uncritical acceptance of the state’s heroic mythology exhibits a resilience of mythic proportion – even when confronted with overwhelming evidence to
