Description
For many years, the official tourism motto for Texas was “It’s like a whole other country” and for many Texans this remains an unoffical credo for Texas. Texans have traditionally defined themselves first and foremost as Texans, moreso than any other Americans have identified as citizens of their state since at least the American Civil War. What in Texas’ history accounts for this continued mentality of Texas as a thoroughly unique place within the United States, both socially and culutrally? Do you find this pervasive conception of Texas’ uniqueness to be justified? Book: Robert A. Calvert, Arnoldo de Leon, & Gregg Cantrell, History of Texas, Fifth Edition (ISBN-13: 978-1118617738)
