Gov. Greg Abbott signs 1836 Project into law, promotes ‘patriotic education’

AUSTIN, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) —— Monday, Governor Greg Abbott signed a law establishing the 1836 Project, a project that seeks to raise awareness about key events in the state’s history. Rep. Tan Parke…

"Monday, Governor Greg Abbott signed a law establishing the 1836 Project, a project that seeks to raise awareness about key events in the state’s history. Earlier this year, the state passed a bill that would ban the teaching of the 1619 Project which examines U.S. history from the date when enslaved people first arrived on American soil, marking that year as the country’s foundational date.

Right now, the project would only be taught at state parks, museums, and landmarks, but one local teacher is joining many across the state who are worried that this could make its way into the class. “It really important for students and educators to know that the Texas that we have today started well before 1836. Texas has a rich history with many positive things, but also many negative things that have to lead to our society now,” said Amarillo Education Association President Aaron Phillips."

This is the problem with the woke mob deep state critical race theory transgender libs -- they always want to bring up the negative parts of our history...I am born and raised in Texas; so I never got a chance to learn about Texas history in school except for the 2 mandated years every student is required to learn Texas history....but that wasn't real Texas history....now thanks to the 1836 project, we will finally be able to learn real Texas history....Sadly, the 1836 project won't be officially taught in schools, but hopefully it will be soon.....

And it bet not include anything about any flaws in our state's founding -- it definitely bet not include any references to the Texas Article of Secession either -- because that only causes division....it also bet not include anything about indigenous or Tejano people as if Texas was like their homeland; it's better for the sake of unity if we refer to them as illegal immigrants actually....The only true history of Texas we need to know is that Texas kicked a bunch of wetback ass and became a state in 1836 -- and then everybody had freedom..any deviation from that is basically cultural Marxism.

What complaint do you have about it?

Nothing, he just hates white people.

Will it cover how the Texicans revolted because Mexico was going to enforce their "no slavery" law?

Not even close to true.

Very true....plus the Texicans complaining about the Mexican government not allowing illegals to come from America.

 

[rightwinger]

Texas revolted against Mexico because Mexico wanted to ban slavery.
They also withdrew from the union to preserve their slavery

God DAMN you are a fucking liar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Revolution#Background
"Following the Mexican War of Independence, Texas became part of Mexico. Under the Constitution of 1824, which defined the country as a federal republic, the provinces of Texas and Coahuila were combined to become the state Coahuila y Tejas.[Note 2][8][9] Texas was granted only a single seat in the state legislature, which met in Saltillo, hundreds of miles away.[10][11] After months of grumbling by Tejanos (Mexican-born residents of Texas) outraged at the loss of their political autonomy, state officials agreed to make Texas a department of the new state, with a de facto capital in San Antonio de Béxar.[10]"

The REAL Texas History......not your whitewashed definition

History of slavery in Texas - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The issue of slavery became a source of contention between the Anglo-American settlers and Spanish governors. The governors feared the growth in the Anglo-American population in Texas, and for various reasons, by the early 19th century, they and their superiors in Mexico City disapproved of expanding slavery. In 1829 the Guerrero decree conditionally abolished slavery throughout Mexican territories. It was a decision that increased tensions with slave-holders among the Anglo-Americans.

After the Texas Revolution ended in 1836, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas made slavery legal. The General Provisions of the Constitution forbade any slave owner from freeing his slaves without the consent of Congress and forbade Congress from making any law that restricted the slave trade or emancipated slaves.

Read your own links, dumb fuck.

"In August 1831, Juan Davis Bradburn, the military commander of the custom station on Upper Galveston Bay, gave asylum to two men who had escaped from slavery in Louisiana. The slave owner hired William Barret Travis, a local lawyer, in an attempt to retrieve the men. When Bradburn arrested Travis on suspicion of plotting an insurrection, settlers rebelled. The disturbances were resolved through a combination of arms and political maneuvering. One result was the Turtle Bayou Resolutions, which were an explanation of the grievances that had led to the disturbances. One of the resolutions challenged Bradburn for "advising and procuring servants to quit the service of their masters, and offering them protection; causing them to labor for his benefits, and refusing to compensate them for the same."

The assholes arrested a local lawyer (who became the commander at the Alamo) on bullshit charges. That started most of the shit.

completely ignores what I posted

Texas was built on slavery and they revolted twice over the issue

I will grant you the Civil War. The Texas Declaration could not be more clear. It was about slavery.

The Texas Revolution was about a BUNCH of issues, including being ruled from afar and only getting ONE representative for the entire state of NOT JUST TEXAS but also Couhuila.

YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK AND QUOTE says that Mexico feared the growing Anglo population.

It was started because Mexicans are afraid of white people.

Sam Houston so despised the institution of slavery that as President of the Republic of Texas in 1837, a law was passed to outlaw the illegal importation of slaves into Texas.

Anyone caught violating that law would be considered to be a pirate and pirates were to be summarily executed “without benefit of clergy”.

Sam treated his slaves as if they were blood members of his family and they were allowed to take outside jobs, earn and save money.

The main reason that Houston didn’t immediately free his slaves was for their protection. Had they been released before the end of the Civil War, they would no doubt have been kidnapped and sold to slave owners who didn’t have Houston’s same anti-slavery stance.

In the 1860’s Houston’s slave Joshua Houston had accumulated the equivalent of $175,000 in gold and offered his life savings to Margaret Lea Houston for the benefit of her family upon Sam’s death. Margaret of course refused the offer and told Joshua to use the money to educate his children.

Same with Thomas Jefferson.

he did the equivalent for the United States in 1807 which banned the African slave trade.

He kept his slaves even after writing that the practice was abhorrent. I have no record of his reasoning for not freeing his slaves, but I can only assume that it was for the same reasons given by Sam Houston, because he lived in Virginia, and to release all of his slaves would be nothing more than a death sentence for them or their reinstatement as slave by someone who would treat them as such.

The Marxists want so desperately for everyone to ignore these facts and only focus on their spin--that all founding of the US was evil and therefore the entire founding should be repelled and rewritten after the communist manifesto.

I'm not gonna sit here and deny that the United States (or Texas) has a glorious history with no shameful ugliness, because that is absolutely not true. Yet, it's still remains the greatest nation in the world and the only reason we are getting into these disputes is because fucking commies want power.

None of what you said contradicts what was said...there were many reasons..slavery was indeed one of them.

Any comment on the long and well documented history of discrimination and outright murder against Tejanos in Texas?

Sam Houston so despised the institution of slavery that as President of the Republic of Texas in 1837, a law was passed to outlaw the illegal importation of slaves into Texas.

In the 1860’s Houston’s slave Joshua Houston had accumulated the equivalent of $175,000 in gold and offered his life savings to Margaret Lea Houston for the benefit of her family upon Sam’s death. Margaret of course refused the offer and told Joshua to use the money to educate his children.

Same with Thomas Jefferson.

he did the equivalent for the United States in 1807 which banned the African slave trade.

He kept his slaves even after writing that the practice was abhorrent. I have no record of his reasoning for not freeing his slaves, but I can only assume that it was for the same reasons given by Sam Houston, because he lived in Virginia, and to release all of his slaves would be nothing more than a death sentence for them or their reinstatement as slave by someone who would treat them as such.

The Marxists want so desperately for everyone to ignore these facts and only focus on their spin--that all founding of the US was evil and therefore the entire founding should be repelled and rewritten after the communist manifesto.

I'm not gonna sit here and deny that the United States (or Texas) has a glorious history with no shameful ugliness, because that is absolutely not true. Yet, it's still remains the greatest nation in the world and the only reason we are getting into these disputes is because fucking commies want power.

Remember Juan Crow? The ubiquitous use of the terms greaser and pepper belly?
The lynchings....the rapes...the theft of property?
Of course you don't.
You're too much of a pussy to own your own states history.

Texas revolted against Mexico because Mexico wanted to ban slavery.
They also withdrew from the union to preserve their slavery

God DAMN you are a fucking liar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Revolution#Background
"Following the Mexican War of Independence, Texas became part of Mexico. Under the Constitution of 1824, which defined the country as a federal republic, the provinces of Texas and Coahuila were combined to become the state Coahuila y Tejas.[Note 2][8][9] Texas was granted only a single seat in the state legislature, which met in Saltillo, hundreds of miles away.[10][11] After months of grumbling by Tejanos (Mexican-born residents of Texas) outraged at the loss of their political autonomy, state officials agreed to make Texas a department of the new state, with a de facto capital in San Antonio de Béxar.[10]"

The REAL Texas History......not your whitewashed definition

History of slavery in Texas - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The issue of slavery became a source of contention between the Anglo-American settlers and Spanish governors. The governors feared the growth in the Anglo-American population in Texas, and for various reasons, by the early 19th century, they and their superiors in Mexico City disapproved of expanding slavery. In 1829 the Guerrero decree conditionally abolished slavery throughout Mexican territories. It was a decision that increased tensions with slave-holders among the Anglo-Americans.

After the Texas Revolution ended in 1836, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas made slavery legal. The General Provisions of the Constitution forbade any slave owner from freeing his slaves without the consent of Congress and forbade Congress from making any law that restricted the slave trade or emancipated slaves.

Sam Houston so despised the institution of slavery that as President of the Republic of Texas in 1837, a law was passed to outlaw the illegal importation of slaves into Texas.

Anyone caught violating that law would be considered to be a pirate and pirates were to be summarily executed “without benefit of clergy”.

Sam treated his slaves as if they were blood members of his family and they were allowed to take outside jobs, earn and save money.

The main reason that Houston didn’t immediately free his slaves was for their protection. Had they been released before the end of the Civil War, they would no doubt have been kidnapped and sold to slave owners who didn’t have Houston’s same anti-slavery stance.
