History of Texas

Fort St. Louis, established by French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in 1685, marked the first significant European settlement in Texas. Its establishment prompted Spanish authorities to strengthen their presence in the region, leading to increased exploration and the eventual founding of missions and settlements. The fort's eventual decline highlighted the challenges of sustaining European colonies in Texas, influencing future settlement patterns and interactions among European powers. Ultimately, Fort St. Louis served as a catalyst for the Spanish colonization efforts that shaped the future of Texas.

After the many wars that Texas fought to gain their independence from Mexico they had alot of dept. Sam Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas. He helped Texas get out of some of the dept but not all of it. Since each president could only have 2 years per term Sam Houston could not be elected again. The second president of Texas was M. B. Lamar, he however put Texas in more dept than what is was after Sam Houston's first term. After M. B. Lamar's 2 year term Sam Houston became the president of the Republic of Texas. Again Sam Houston helped Texas out of dept but not completely. The 4th term president of the Republic of Texas was Anson Jones. Jones was not president long before Texas became the 28th state of the Unites States. The United States helped Texas out of dept.

When Texas wanted to be annexed be the United States some Americans refused because they didn't want to pay the dept that Texas was in. At some point Texas was annexed by the United States, and then became dept free.

The members of the Karankawa tribe would choose a civil leader. To that extent, it is a democracy. The war chief was always the son of the oldest man of the tribe. That leans towards being a monarchy. Women did not have any power. The tribe is now extinct.

Colorado Division of Wildlife currently considers the Texas horned lizard a species of special concern. From May 1995 to October 1997, Texas horned lizards were captured or collected during the active season from 6 counties in Colorado to document abundance and distribution of the species. We captured or collected 290 Texas horned lizards (170 alive and 120 dead on road). In Colorado, average snoutvent length (SVL) for adult males was not significantly different from females; the largest male and female lizards measured 84.9 mm SVL and 90.4 mm SVL, respectively. The sex ratio of adult males to adult females is 1M:1.4F. Results of distribution and habitat analysis indicated that the Texas horned lizard in Colorado is locally common in arid shortgrass and sand-sage prairie lacking ground litter. Activity of the Texas horned lizard in Colorado is diurnal in spring and fall and bimodal (almost crepuscular) in the summer. Texas horned lizards in Colorado apparently breed in May and June, and hatchlings emerge in late August to mid-September. Mortality due to vehicle traffic seems high, but because the Texas horned lizard occurs in remote areas, the Colorado population in general seems to be relatively stable. La división de vida silvestre del estado de Colorado denomina el lagarto Phrynosoma cornutum como una de las especies en riesgo en el estado. De mayo de 1995 a octubre de 1997, se documentaron capturas y colectas del lagarto P. cornutumdurante la época de actividad para determinar su abundancia y distribución en seis condados del estado de Colorado. Capturamos o colectamos 290 lagartos (170 vivos y 120 muertos en la carretera). En Colorado, el promedio longitudinal hocicocloaca (LHC) para adultos macho no fue significativamente diferente que el de las hembras; el macho y la hembra más largos midieron 84.9 mm LHC y 90.4 mm LHC, respectivamente. La proporción de machos y hembras adultos fue de 1M:1.4H. Los resultados de la distribución y el análisis de hábitat indican que el lagarto P. cornutum en Colorado habita praderas áridas de grama corta y de mata Artemisia que carecen de hojarasca. En Colorado, la actividad del lagarto P. cornutum es diurna durante la primavera y el otoño y bimodal (casi crepuscular) durante el verano. El lagarto aparentemente se aparea en mayo y en junio y sus crías emergen desde fines de agosto hasta mediados de septiembre. La mortandad debido al tráfico vehicular parece alta, pero dada la abundancia del lagarto en áreas remotas, la población de lagartos P. cornutum en Colorado parece ser relativamente estable.

Moses Austin was the original person who received permision to take the 'Old 300 hundred'. But he did not bring them, his son, Stephen F. Austin brought the 'Old 300 hundred'.

This was the year that Texas gained their independence from Mexico.

Oddly enough Americans originally moved to Texas to be away from the United States laws. After their revolt and break with Spanish controlled Mexico, they created the independent Republic of Texas in 1836 to continue to remain free of United States control and laws. Texas was admitted to the Union as the 28th state in 1845 as a slave state and the Republic officially dissolved in 1846. Texas seceded from the United States in 1861, and joined the Confederate States of America.

There came a time in the history of Mexico and the US, where there were disputes over land and vast territories. After the major war, the Mexican-American War of 1846, the Rio Grand River seemed to be a logical physical water boundary to separate the new American west, Texas, in particular, from Mexico.
