TX History Ch 2.1
Texas has a variety of landforms including plains, hills, plateaus, and mountain ranges. The plains are flat or gently rolling land while the plateaus are flat elevated land that drop sharply on one or more sides. Texas' rivers and streams eventually flow into the Gulf of Mexico, with most located in East Texas. The major river systems include the Rio Grande, Colorado, Brazos, and Nueces. Texas has few natural lakes but many artificial reservoirs used for water storage and irrigation. Underground aquifers like the Ogallala and Edwards aquifers provide water for homes, farms, and industry across much of the state.

Regions of canada
The document summarizes the 8 physical regions of Canada:
1) The Appalachian Region has eroded mountains and a climate affected by ocean currents, with fishing and forestry as main industries.
2) The Coastal Plains are lowlands with swamps and marshes, formerly pine forests, doing farming and with air quality/climate change as issues.
3) The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowland has fertile soil and forests, dairy and fruit farming, and pollution problems.
4) The Interior Plains were originally grasslands and do wheat farming, with air and water pollution as concerns.
Plains
The Coastal Plains and Great Plains were formed by different geological processes. Coastal Plains formed from sediment deposited by rivers and oceans near coastlines, making them low-lying areas with sand and mud. The Great Plains formed when glaciers receded, leaving behind flat grasslands. Both regions now support diverse plant and animal life and have economic importance - Coastal Plains for resources and Great Plains for agriculture.

It describes 8 regions: 1) Appalachian, characterized by mountain ranges formed 300 million years ago with mixed forests and average rainfall; 2) Western Cordillera with very tall mountains and coastal maritime climate near the Pacific; 3) Canadian Shield with boreal forests on thin soil and permafrost in the north; 4) Coastal Plains along the Gulf of Mexico with pine forests and hot, humid summers; 5) Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowland formed by glaciation with fertile soil and broadleaf forests; 6) Interior Plains with continental climate and vegetation ranging from forests to tundra; 7) Arctic with flat land, short summers,
Mountains and hills
Mountains are natural elevations of the earth's surface rising abruptly to a summit and attaining an altitude of over 2,000 feet, while hills are smaller. The Rocky Mountains stretch from British Columbia to New Mexico, with elevations ranging from 1,800 feet to over 14,000 feet, containing a variety of habitats and wildlife. These habitats are home to many species of herbivores, predators, small mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds. Permanent human settlement has caused declines in some species populations, and gray wolves and grizzly bears were almost eliminated but are returning through conservation efforts.
Cordilleran vegetation
The Cordilleran region covers western British Columbia, Yukon, and Alberta, containing both old and new mountain ranges with rivers and streams flowing east and west. The climate varies with altitude from warmer valleys to colder, snowier high mountains, with heavier rainfall on the west side. Vegetation changes from low to high elevations, featuring Douglas fir, red cedar, and hemlock in moist areas. Soil types depend on elevation, slope, rainfall, and plant cover, and the region contains three subregions - the Pacific Coast, Interior Plateau, and Rockies, falling within the Boreal, Taiga, and Montane Cordillera ecozones.

Stephen F. Austin went to Texas after his father Moses Austin's death to carry out plans to settle Texas. He received permission from Mexican authorities to establish an American colony in Texas. Austin offered attractive land grants and terms to attract settlers, allowing them to own large tracts of land in exchange for developing the territory. He established strict guidelines requiring settlers to become Mexican citizens and convert to Catholicism. The first group of settlers arrived in Texas in 1821 on Austin's ship the Lively, bringing supplies to establish the colony.

The US was divided on the issue regionally over the expansion of slavery. Several presidents and politicians supported annexation while others opposed it. Texas was finally admitted as the 28th state in 1845 through a joint congressional resolution signed by President Polk.
Chapter 10.2 notes
Tensions grew between Mexican troops and Texas settlers in the 1830s. In 1831, Colonel Juan Bradburn arrested several settlers in Anahuac, including William Travis, angering Texans. Settlers demanded the prisoners' release, but Bradburn did not comply. The settlers withdrew to Turtle Bayou and drafted resolutions declaring they were not in rebellion against Mexico but defending their constitutional rights. Meanwhile, most Texans supported General Santa Anna in his struggle against President Bustamante. Bradburn was later removed from his post after a skirmish at Velasco between Texans and Mexican troops ended in a mistake.

Farming dominated the early Texas economy in the 1820s-1830s, with families working large plantations that specialized in crops like cotton. Ranching also thrived by taking advantage of the good pastures for raising cattle and livestock. Businessmen operated under a free enterprise system and engaged in trades like crafts, merchanting, and blacksmithing due to the limited money supply and need for barter. Poor transportation infrastructure, with inadequate roads and rivers, posed challenges for economic growth and trade in early Texas.

The document discusses Mexico's colonization laws in Texas in the 1820s and 1830s, which allowed empresarios like Stephen F. Austin, Green Dewitt, and Martin de León to bring settlers to Texas. The empresarios would receive large grants of land for every family they settled in Texas. Austin was the most important empresario, bringing over 1,500 families and is known as the "Father of Texas." By 1834 over 21,000 settlers lived in Texas due to the work of the empresarios in promoting immigration under Mexico's colonization laws.

Mexico tightened control over Texas by sending more troops and customs collectors in 1834-1835 in response to growing Anglo-American immigration and influence in the region. This upset many Texans and tensions rose further when taxes began being enforced again in Anahuac in 1835 and a Texan named Andrew Briscoe was arrested, leading William Travis to launch an attack on Anahuac. In response, the Mexican general Martin Perfecto de Cos ordered Travis' arrest and increased troop levels in Texas, further angering settlers. Texans debated their response, with some factions calling for peace and others for war, but Stephen F. Austin shifted to supporting war after his imprisonment, urging Texans to unite against Santa

The document summarizes conflicts between settlers moving westward into American Indian lands in Texas and the response from the Texas Rangers and federal government. As more settlers moved into Indian territory, they asked the government for help dealing with attacks. The Texas Rangers were effective at battling the Comanche and Kiowa using horses and Colt six-shooters. The federal government established forts along the frontier to protect settlers but the forts were too far apart and had too few troops as settlers continued moving past them deeper into frontier lands. Many Plains Indians were eventually moved to reservations in Indian Territory while some Texas tribes like the Alabama-Coushatta had land reserved for them in the state.

The document summarizes Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle's expedition to establish a French colony near the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1684. La Salle built Fort St. Louis after missing the river's mouth and landing in Matagorda Bay. However, the colony struggled with hunger, disease and Indian attacks. By 1689, the Karankawa Indians had destroyed the fort after most of the colonists perished. This established France's claim to Louisiana but was later found abandoned by the Spanish.

Anson Jones was elected president of the Republic of Texas in 1844. As president, he inherited economic problems and a debate among Texans about whether Texas should pursue annexation by the United States. Jones continued policies aimed at reducing government spending. The most serious issue during his administration was deciding whether annexation by the United States would be beneficial for Texas.

The six essential elements of geography are:
1. Places and regions - how physical and human characteristics define different locations
2. Physical systems - the atmosphere, land, water, and living things and how they interact
3. Human systems - population distribution, growth, movement, urbanization
4. Environment and society - how humans interact with and are impacted by the environment
5. Uses of geography - applications like resource allocation, historical understanding, and conservation
6. The world in spatial terms - using tools like GIS to understand locations and cultural geography.
Chapter 10.1 notes
The Fredonian Rebellion of 1826 occurred when Haden Edwards' empresario contract to settle 800 families near Nacogdoches was cancelled by the Mexican government. In response, Haden's brother Benjamin Edwards declared part of East Texas to be an independent republic called the Fredonian Republic. Stephen F. Austin led a militia that forced the Fredonians to flee in 1827. The rebellion worried Mexico and prompted General Manuel de Mier y Teran to investigate American influence in Texas, especially in East Texas. He warned Mexico about the growing conditions and recommended increasing trade, soldiers, and European/Mexican settlement in Texas.

Texas faced ongoing conflicts with Mexico following its revolution for independence. Mexico contested Texas' claim that its southern border was the Rio Grande river. In 1841, President Lamar of Texas sent 320 troops on the Santa Fe expedition to expand Texas' control into western lands, but they were captured by Mexican forces and imprisoned. Texas also used its small navy to put pressure on Mexico for recognition of Texas' independence, though this further strained relations between the two countries.

Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia but instead landed in the Caribbean, establishing the first European presence in the Americas. Spanish conquistadors then sought to expand Spanish control and convert natives to Christianity, with Hernan Cortes conquering the powerful Aztec Empire after forming alliances with neighboring tribes and taking their ruler Moctezuma II captive in 1521.

Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 after a prolonged fight. Agustín de Iturbide declared himself ruler but proved unpopular and was forced to step down, leading Mexico to become a republic. Meanwhile, Tejano ranchers lived along the Rio Grande, with some wealthy ranchers living in fort-like houses and others in small mud huts. As Mexico took control of Texas, it continued Spain's policy of secularizing missions and placing former mission lands under local control, while also having to determine policies around settlement and immigration.

Alonso Alvarez de Pineda mapped the Texas Gulf Coast in the 1520s. In 1527, Panfilo de Narvaez led an expedition to Florida in search of gold but his forces became lost in swamps. Storms destroyed their ships, leaving Narvaez and his men stranded. They built boats to escape but Narvaez drowned; the survivors, including Cabeza de Vaca, were washed ashore on an island along the Texas coast. For the next eight years, Cabeza de Vaca lived among Native American tribes, gaining fame as a healer. He and three other Spaniards eventually encountered a group of Spanish soldiers and were rescued.

Stephen F. Austin established the first colony in Texas and helped settle hundreds of families there despite facing many hardships. Early problems included droughts, crop failures, and Indian attacks. To defend the colony, Austin set up militias and established a headquarters. By 1824, 297 families had received land and became known as the "Old Three Hundred," most of whom were farmers or slaveholders from the southern US. The capital of Austin's colony was San Felipe de Austin. Between 1825-1831, Austin acquired contracts for four additional colonies.

The document summarizes life in early Texas under Mexican rule after Mexico became a republic in 1824. It discusses how the Mexican Constitution of 1824 formed the state of Coahuila y Texas and gave states strong local control, similar to the US Constitution. However, it established Roman Catholicism as the official religion and did not have separation of church and state. Most Texans disliked being united with Coahuila as they wanted more local autonomy. Tensions also increased over slavery as Mexican laws restricted it while many US settlers brought slaves to Texas.

The document summarizes the different cultural regions of Native Americans, describing the environment, resources, housing, clothing, tools and ways of life for groups in the Northwest Coast, California, Great Basin, Plateau, Great Plains, Southwest, Eastern Woodlands, and Southeast regions. Key differences included the availability of resources like salmon, acorns, buffalo, or crops and the housing styles adapted to the local climate and materials, such as longhouses, tipis, adobe structures, or thatch-roofed buildings. However, Native Americans across regions also shared certain beliefs and practices like respect for nature, not owning land, using only what was needed, and importance of trade between communities.

The first Americans crossed into North America from Asia over a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska around 30,000 years ago during an ice age. As the climate warmed, glaciers melted and sea levels rose, covering the land bridge. Native Americans adapted to different environments across North America, developing distinct cultural practices and ways of life. They utilized natural resources like plants, animals and materials specific to their regions for food, clothing, shelter and tools. While cultural practices varied regionally, Native Americans generally shared a spiritual connection to nature, communal land ownership practices, and reliance on trade between groups.

The upper course of the river has a V-shaped valley with interlocking spurs and a steep gradient. Vertical erosion is the main process as the river cuts downwards. The river channel is narrow and turbulent with rocks and pools. Land uses include dams, grazing, and forestry. In the middle course, the valley opens out into a U-shape with sloping sides. The river begins to meander through sideways erosion. The channel is broader and gentler. Land uses include smaller fields and villages. In the lower course, the wide flat floodplain emerges with levees and ox-bow lakes. Deposition replaces erosion. Meanders may be cut off. Near the coast, deltas or mudflats

World War II began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. The US joined the war in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Texas contributed greatly to the war effort through training soldiers at military bases, producing goods for the war, and Texans enlisting to fight. Key Allied leaders like Eisenhower and Nimitz led the forces. Germany surrendered in 1945, but the war continued in the Pacific until the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II.
Chapter 26.1 – transition in peace
After World War I, demobilization led to an economic boom as farms and factories increased production to replace wartime needs. However, it also caused labor unrest as returning soldiers sought jobs and displaced groups like women and African Americans. This period saw the founding of civil rights groups like the NAACP and LULAC to protect minority communities, but also controversies like accusations of impropriety around Governor "Ma" Ferguson's pardons and contracts.

During the Spanish-American War in 1898, over 10,000 Texans fought including Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders regiment. The war increased Texas' role in global affairs. The Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920 caused refugees to flee to Texas and conflicts with local authorities. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, around 200,000 Texans served while the state's economy boomed supplying needs for the war.

This document summarizes the birth of the oil industry in Texas. It describes how demand for kerosene rose after its use in lamps was developed, leading to the initial search for oil. The first major strike in Texas was at Spindletop in 1901, where the gusher shot 70,000 barrels of oil per day. This triggered an economic boom but also led to overproduction that drove prices down. While Spindletop's reserves were soon drained, it marked the start of Texas establishing itself as a leader in oil production.
Tx23.3
The oil boom in Texas in the early 1900s led to the rapid growth of boomtowns as thousands of people moved to oil fields and nearby towns in search of work. This caused towns like Beaumont and Sour Lake to become crowded, dirty, and rough very quickly. The development of the automobile, which used gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, helped ensure the success of the growing oil industry. The oil industry also led to new petrochemical industries that produced synthetic rubber, plastics, and carbon black. The Texas legislature began regulating the oil industry to protect groundwater and prevent waste. Revenue from taxes on oil have benefited education in Texas through the Permanent University Fund, which provides funding for the University of Texas
Tx23.2
Wildcatters, or independent explorers, took significant risks searching for new oil fields in Texas in the early 1900s. Some of the earliest and largest oil fields were discovered, including at Sour Lake in 1893 and the East Texas oil field in the 1930s, which became one of the largest oil fields in the world. As more oil fields were found across Texas, the oil industry grew significantly and operators had to develop ways to transport and market oil and natural gas.

Spanish settlers first established cattle ranching in Texas in the 1700s, driving herds of longhorn cattle north from Mexico to supply missions along the Rio Grande and San Antonio Rivers. By the 1800s, Tejano ranchers had established cattle ranching as the primary economic activity in Texas, driving longhorn cattle to markets in New Orleans and other states. However, problems with rustlers and limited access to markets kept the cattle industry in Texas relatively small until after the Civil War, when Union blockades during the war prevented Texas longhorns from being driven out of state, allowing their numbers to grow substantially.

Joseph Glidden, an Illinois farmer, invented barbed wire in the 1870s, making large-scale fencing inexpensive and easy. This led to the closing of the open range as ranchers began fencing off their land, ending the era of free-roaming cattle. However, the introduction of barbed wire also caused conflicts known as range wars between small landowners and ranchers over blocked roads and fences surrounding water sources. State legislatures eventually passed laws against fence cutting and requiring gates to be placed along fences. The closing of the open range transformed cattle ranching and marked the end of an important period in the history of the American West.

The document discusses ranching in South Texas and the Panhandle region. It describes the King Ranch, which was once over 1 million acres and is still larger than Rhode Island today. It also established the towns of Kingsville and Raymondville. In the Panhandle, the removal of Native Americans opened the land for cattle ranching, with the Ogallala Aquifer providing water and windmills later expanding farming. Large ranches were established like the JA Ranch and XIT Ranch, which covered 3 million acres, almost the size of Connecticut, and ran 150,000 cattle. Cowboys faced many dangers and hardships despite the romanticized myths of their lifestyle.

By the end of 1861, there were 25,000 Texans fighting for the Confederacy in regiments of about 1,000 soldiers each. Major battles took place in the East around Washington D.C. and Richmond as well as in the West around the Mississippi River Valley, which was a key strategic area.
