Pee Wee Gonzalez is of Mexican descent. He was born in Washington. Then he was raised in Mission, Texas. So he's like a Tejano I guess (Tejano: ppl of Mexican descent but live in Texas).
The Lexington of Texas is another name for the Battle of Gonzales. It took place in Gonzales, Texas. The Texas rebels were stronger and caused the Mexican forces to withdraw.
Remember the Alamo
Prior to the Alamo, Texas was occupied by Mexican forces as part of the Mexican Republic. The region had been a battleground for control between Anglo settlers and the Mexican government, particularly following the Texas Revolution's tensions. The Alamo, a former Spanish mission, became a pivotal site during this conflict between Texian revolutionaries and Mexican troops.
1836 was the Alamo in Texas; 1846 was the Mexican War in California.
It is the Alamo, which was a mission, that became a Texas shrine. A link can be found below.
