Makers of America: Class discussion and exercises
Makers Of America: Mexican Or Texican?
Chapter 13:
The Rise of a Mass Democracy, 1824 - 1840
Questions for Class Discussion
- In what ways were the original Texas
settlers like other westward-moving American pioneers, and in what ways were
they different?
- How have its unique beginnings made
Texas different from most other American states?
Suggested Student Exercises
- Examine a map of Texas for Hispanic place
names. Find the parts of the state where such names are common and where they
appear less often.
- The text notes that many of the Texas
pioneers were originally Scots-Irish. Consider which of their qualities may
have derived from their Scots-Irish ancestry. (See Makers of America:
The Scots-Irish, Chapter 5.)
