Which skills were taught at the Mission of the Alamo?
The Mission at the present day Alamo in Texas was a religious mission. So many of the skills that were taught by the missionaries related to religion, livelihood, and literacy. The children and parents would have been taught basic reading, recitation and writing skills. They also would have been taught basic cleaning, food growing, and food preparation skills. They would have been encouraged in the gainful skills that they already had.
The mission was operated as such for almost seventy years, 1724-1793. During that time, it was called La Mision San Antonio de Valero. With its disbanding, land was given to those whom the missionaries had taught.

First of all, I would like to get across that I am not a racist.
The relationship between the Mexicans and the Texans (America was also involved) was not good at all. Mexicans hated Texans and vice versa. The main dispute though was not racism, but over land. Mexico and America both claimed Texas as their own state. Oviously America won. I myself believe this may be how we grew such a hating bond between mainly white Americans and Mexicans. Now this is another issue, but ever since that war, the American, Mexican border has been guarded. On the Northern side, Canada's border with the US is the largest border unprotected! Now you can see the relationship between the two.
