...European colonization in Texas started in 1689. It was ordered by St. Francis in order for Spain to spread Christianity, Spanish culture and also to establish control. This era began with missions and presidios. There are many Spanish colonizers who helped Spain attempt to reach their goal. Four significant people are Fray Damian Massanet, Jose de Escandon, Antonio Margil de Jesus, and Francisco Hidalgo. Fray Damian Massanet was the founder of the first Texas mission. He also helped found the missionary College of Santa Cruz de Queretaro. He arrived in Texas by boat in 1683. He was sent to search for La Salle’s Ft. St. Louis and to help with the San Francisco de los Tejas mission. He argued with civil authority about the horses he was keeping at the San Francisco de los Tejas Mission and the horses had to be commandeered. Due to floods, failed crops, shortages in supplies, and bickering with the Tejas Indians, Massanet’s missions did not succeed. On October 25, 1693, Massanet, and the other surviving priests set the leftovers of the failed mission on fire. Shortly after, he...

...Those statements can seem a bit redundant due to Mexico's past ownership of certain states such as: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Texas and Wyoming, which were not won through the Mexican- American War but were bought for $15 million dollars (History). Since 1848 Native Americans and Mexican Americans have struggled to achieve political and social equality within the United States, often citing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo as a document that promised civil and property rights. Although the treaty promised U.S. citizenship to former Mexican citizens, the Native Americans in the ceded territories, who in fact were Mexican citizens, were not given full U.S. citizenship until the 1930s. Former Mexican citizens were almost universally considered foreigners by the U.S. settlers who moved into the new territories. In the first half century after ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, hundreds of state, territorial, and federal legal bodies produced a complex tapestry of conflicting opinions and decisions bearing on the meaning of the treaty. The property rights seemingly guaranteed in Articles VIII and IX of the treaty (and in the Protocol of Queretaro) were not all they seemed. In. U.S. courts, the property rights of former Mexican citizens...

...1800’s were a turbulent time for Texas and Mexico. That time period was known as the Spanish Colonization. It was full of building missions, establishing capitals, slavery, fighting for independence, and ever-lasting effects. The most significant dates during that brutal time period were 1718 and 1821. In 1718, San Antonio de Valero was founded and in 1821, Mexico gained its independence from Spain. Those events helped shape Texas and Mexico into the regions we know today. The reason 1718 is a significant date during the Spanish Colonization is because the mission, San Antonio de Valero, was created on May 1st. A mission is a settlement that is part of the mission system. The mission system was an easy way to help the...

Finally, during the Circa 1400 A.D., a culture decline is prevalent among the pre-historic groups. The Spanish Period The Spanish Period occurred during the years of 1528 through 1821. From the years of 1528 to 1536, an eight-year odyssey of Cabeza de Vaca along with his companions occurred. They were shipwrecked off the coast of an area that is known today as Texas. After being shipwrecked in the area, they become interested in exploring the region. In 1539, Fray Marcos de Niza looks for the city of Cibola. He feels that this could possibly be the greatest Spanish discovery at the time and is encouraged to explore even farther. During the years of 1540-1542, Coronado explores areas in Spain the...

...digital artist Alma Lopez expresses her desire for Latinas to embrace their commonality in spite of differences created by origin and tradition. In her essay Cristina Serna demonstrates how the traditional and religious symbol of La Virgen de Guadalupe was reconstructed by the three artists to be used as symbol for Latina unification, "[They] give her new life and meaning...to represent feminist and decolonial struggles,..." (Serna p.168). The appropriation and reconstruction of traditional symbols used by the dominant culture has always been strategy employed as a call for unity. Tey Marianna Nunn who wrote an article for the anthology Our Lady of Controversy explains how the traditional image of La Virgen de Guadalupe was used by Father Miguel Hidalgo to rally Mexicans to fight against their Spanish masters and for their independence (Nunn...
