Despite the well-known history of racism and bigotry in early Texas, ethnic relationships were more complex than this single dimension. List and discuss three examples that demonstrate the racial harmony and cooperation that existed in Texas from the 1500’s to the end of the 1800’s. Be sure to include evidence and examples of this harmony and cooperation from each of the following time periods:
Spanish-owned Texas (through 1821 “Section 1”),
Mexican-owned Texas (1821 – 1836 “Section 2”), and
Texas from the founding of the Republic of Texas (1836) through the Civil War (1865)–“Section 3.”
In other words, include one example of racial cooperation or harmony from each of the periods listed above. No points will be awarded for examples of hatred, violence, or discord.
