1836 1842 1845 Determined Independence Independent Mexico Militia Mounted Texas Wins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of determination among the Texas militia in the early 1840s, as they worked to maintain the independence of the Republic of Texas from Mexico. The year was 1836, and the Texans had successfully fought for their freedom in the Battle of San Jacinto. However, their victory was not yet recognized by the Mexican government or the international community. In this photograph, a group of mounted militia men are seen gathered around a campfire, their faces etched with resolve and focus. They are dressed in the uniforms of the day, with wide-brimmed hats, leather vests, and bandoliers filled with ammunition. The horses they ride are lean and powerful, reflecting the rugged terrain and harsh conditions of the Texas frontier. Despite the challenges they faced, the Texans remained committed to preserving their independence. They knew that they could not afford to let their guard down, not only against potential Mexican incursions but also against the encroachment of other European powers. The United States, too, had shown an interest in annexing Texas, and many Texans saw annexation as a way to secure their future as a prosperous and self-governing people. The determination of these men paid off, as Texas was annexed by the United States in 1845. The annexation led to the Mexican-American War, which ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Texas became the 28th state of the United States on December 29, 1845. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the Texans who fought for their independence and shaped the history of the Lone Star State. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have fought for freedom and self-determination throughout history.
