The Tall Tale Of Texas

The Tall Tale Of Texas

By Kiran.C

Stephen
Austin set foot on the prized “Lone Star State”. His intentions were to carry
out his father’s dream of creating a successful cotton colony in Texas. Farming
in such colonies would strongly enhance the economy by creating new jobs and
increasing the amount of resources.

By setting foot onto Texas, which was owned by the Mexicans, they had to abide by
certain regulations. They followed rules such as changing their religion to be
Catholics, and to be hard working citizens. Or at least they pretended to. By
donning the mask of superficiality, they kept the Mexicans happy and deluded.
As time progressed these rules became so harsh that there rules were impossible
to follow. This caused the Americans to deny their promise of changing their
religion and to be industrious citizens.

Due to the defiance of the Americans, the Tejanos (the Mexican settlers) were
filled with rage. The Tejanos displayed their fury by informing General Antonio
López de Santa Anna to ambush the Americans. Suddenly, the sky was filled with
the sound of gunshots and the cries of men. Bloodshed and the bodies’ fallen
men, woman and children occupied the vicinity. Suddenly the disconcerting
feeling of corpses surrounded the grounds of Texas. This calamity was known as
the Alamo.

Furthermore,
the Americans were to defuse the controversy with the Mexicans. An ethical man
by the name of Sam Houston was the hero to the many victims of the Tejanos and
general Santa Anna. He comprised an army to attempt to defeat General Santa Anna. He believed that it was manifest to avenge
his fellow companions whom were lost in the hostile ambush by General Santa
Anna. As the Americans stepped onto the battlefield, they were well armed,
determined to receive vengeance on those whom purloined the lives of other
precious family members. The rain of gunfire draped the battlefield, and the
lives of many were compromised. The odors of the fallen have drenched the
region. Even though the lives of many had been seized they received the
acquisition of Texas and avenged those whom have been demised.
