Explorers
Well, what do we have here?!
Texas
Many years ago, Native American tribes inhabited Texas. In 1519, Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda was the first to map the coastline, and Cabeza de Vaca arrived in 1528 when his ship wrecked.
Catholic Missions
The Spanish established Catholic missions to spread Christianity throughout the area, and what is now known as the Alamo was built.
Battle of the Alamo
Admitted into Statehood
Tensions were very high between the Texans and the Mexican government, and a revolution began. During the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, hundreds of Texans died trying to defend their freedom.
Although Texas declared their independence in 1836, they were not admitted into statehood until December 29, 1845.
Mexican-American War
Mexico was not happy that Texas was declared a state, and the Mexican-American War broke out. The war lasted about a year and a half, and ended with a U.S. victory in 1848.
