	Mexican Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mexican Texas is the name given by Texas history scholars to the period between 1821 and 1836, when Texas was part of Mexico, as a part of the state of Coahuila y Tejas.
		The Mexican government had an uneasy relationship with these early settlers, in part because of the settlers being largely Protestant in officially Catholic Mexico, and because of attitudes of racial superiority and manifest destiny that they brought with them into the country.
		The Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas would also withdraw themselves from Mexico and would form their own federal republic called the Republic of the Rio Grande with Laredo as the capital, which is in the present day State of Texas.

	The Mexican War
		While the Republic of Texas had claimed the Rio Grande as its boundary, the adjacent Mexican state of Tamaulipas claimed the area north of the Rio Grande to the Nueces River.
		Abolitionists in the United States, who had opposed the annexation of Texas as a slave state, claimed that the move to the Rio Grande was a hostile and aggressive act by Polk to provoke a war with Mexico to add new slave territory to the United States.
		Mexican leaders clearly expected to win these battles as well as to recover Texas and win the war.

		The Mexicans found their pride assaulted by such an assumption and the fact that their northern empire was vulnerable made them fearful and suspicious.
		The next few weeks in Texas were to be known as the "Runaway Scrape." The entire population of Anglo-Texas, frightened and horrified by the tales of Mexican atrocities, fled ahead of the Mexican army.
		From that point on Texas did operate as an independent Republic until 1845 when it finally gained entrance to the United States, touching off the Mexican-American war over a disagreement as to whether the border of Texas was the Rio Grande or the Nueces River.

	Tejano Origins in Mexican Texas
		It is necessary to consider the evolution of the statehood of Texas under the Mexican republic and the legacy of Tejano statesmen.
		One of the most important facets of Tejano life was the Mexican form of local government which prevailed in the years between the consummation of Mexican independence in 1821 and the Texan Revolution in 1836.
		Although Santa Anna and the Anglo-Americans in the Texas Revolution have held center stage in the story of Texas, Tejano politics was as much a factor as Mexican centralism or Anglo rebellion in determining the course of Tejanos and Texas.

	Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo - 1848
		The Mexican commissioners, however, insisted on having both banks of the Rio Grande and all of California up to the neighborhood of San Francisco, besides receiving damages for injuries inflicted by the American troops in their invasions.
		When the Mexican commissioners made advances for peace at the beginning of the year 1848, they were given terms almost as liberal as those offered them before Scott had stormed and occupied their capital.
		The Mexican War has generally been condemned by American historians as "the foulest blot on our national honor," a war forced upon Mexico by slaveholders greedy for new territory, a perfect illustration of La Fontaine's fable of the wolf picking a quarrel with the lamb solely for an excuse to devour him.

	Texas-Mexican Conjunto
		A strong regional style developed by the turn of the century, as the accordion became increasingly associated with a unique Mexican guitar known as an "oajo sexto." Another local folk instrument, the tambora de rancho (ranch drum), also enjoyed prominence as a back-up to the accordion.
		In Texas, these celebrations were organized frequently--too frequently for some Anglos, who voiced their disapproval of fandangos, or "low-class" dances, in the newspapers.
		Among the most notable is Tony de la Rosa, who established the most ideal conjunto sound in the mid-1950s: a slowed-down polka style, delivered in a highly staccato technique that was the logical culmination of Narciso Martinez's emphasis on the treble end of the accordion.
