Summary: "Texas" by William H. Wharton is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the origin, development, and current state of the colonial settlements of Texas, along with an insightful review of the causes that have precipitated the conflict with Mexico. Through a critical lens, it discusses the political, social, and economic pressures faced by the Texan colonists, portraying their struggle as one motivated by a desire for liberty and self-governance. In the content of "Texas," Wharton delineates the circumstances under which American settlers were encouraged to immigrate to Texas by the Mexican government, highlighting the broken promises and increasing oppression they faced after settling. He articulates the growing discontent due to laws that discriminatorily targeted colonists, military garrisons imposed in peacetime, and the centralization of power under Santa Anna's regime. Wharton posits that the Texan desire for independence stems not from expansionist ambitions, but rather from a sincere yearning for self-determination and relief from constitutional grievances. Ultimately, the text serves as both a historical narrative and a fiery manifesto advocating for Texan independence from Mexican rule. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
