Imitating the Example of Our Forefathers: The Texas Revolution and the Memory of 1776 with Sam W. HaynesThis presentation seeks to shed light on a question that has long preoccupied historians of the state: what were the motives of those who took up arms against Mexico during the Revolution? In deciding upon a course of action, Haynes argues, Anglo-Texans looked to the past, drawing upon their memories of the Spirit of 1776 to make sense of the political crisis with Mexico City and as a template for revolutionary action.
