Unit 6 Texas Independence
This unit bundles student expectations that relate to the issues and events surrounding the fight in Texas for independence from Mexico. As tensions grew in Texas, Mexican officials attempted to impose more control over the settlers. Eventually political changes in Mexico forced settlers in Texas to pursue independence. While the movement towards independence had been growing for years, it took less than a year for Texans to gain independence. During that time, Texans met to form a new government as well as battled Mexico���s army at Gonzales, the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto. The victory at San Jacinto signified the end of Mexican rule in Texas. Prior to this unit, students studied about Mexico gaining independence from Spain and the policies of Mexico to implement a land grant system in Texas. In grade 4, students studied the same events surrounding the Texas Revolution, while in grade 5 they studied the events of the American Revolution. Students should see the parallels between the American Revolution and the Texas Revolution. During this unit, students study about the attempts by Mexican officials to control the settlers in Texas, the changes in the Mexican government that effected Texans, and the events of the Texas Revolution.
