What Caused the Texas Revolution? (2019x32)

Air date: Sep 23, 2019

Here's the link to the second video: https://youtu.be/HTmSN4Exci0 What caused the Texas Revolution? So we’re covering two wars actually, but they’re inseparable. The tensions had manifest destiny at their core, but to really understand what caused the war, and therefore all of its consequences, we have to learn what that build up in tensions was. Regardless of whether you think it was a just war, much of that consideration is without merit without understanding this deeper history. Buckle up, because I’m talking about filibusters, land laws, Amerindian depredations, the internal politics of both countries, and the tribes in-between. ------------------------------------------------------------ Connected videos: 1:20 - Filibuster Etymology: https://youtu.be/3oWFi8XLVhc 2:15 - Walker | BoaTS: https://youtu.be/DqOC2f4zee4 3:05 - Quasi War: https://youtu.be/o1BfR8ytLjM 9:55 - New Mexico vs. Texas | State Rivalry: https://youtu.be/CTA10aruS6Y 13:05 - What caused the American Revolution? https://youtu.be/cz1i5ncOVIs 17:55 - The History of California: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnwpaclU4wUD7y8912ViyAtGfraKi9ru ------------------------------------------------------------ references: Alan Axelrod, America’s Wars (New York: Wiley and Sons, 2002). https://amzn.to/2NHcLOa Ed Bradley, We Never Retreat: Filibustering Expeditions into Spanish Texas, 1812-1822 (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2015). https://amzn.to/2YOWkny Thomas W.
