The Texas Revolution of 1835-1836 was not the first time the people of Texas had revolted. Twenty-three years earlier, the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition ended in the Battle of Medina near San Antonio. This battle, the bloodiest in Texas’s history, and the brutal punishment of its participants had a lasting effect on the people who lived through it. This experience fundamentally shaped Tejanos during the Mexican period and sheds lights on their behavior when Revolution broke out again in October of 1835.
This History Under the Star lecture series, “The First Texas Revolution: Tejanos and the Mexican War of Independence,” features Dr. Jesús "Frank" de la Teja.
