  • We continue our tour of Texas with a visit to Washington on the Brazos and San Felipe de Austin. These are two important historic sites that factored heavily into shaping Texas in the early to mid-1800s. Each location has a great museum where you can learn some of the basics of Texas history.

    I have to say I love your videos, I'm from Sweden, and have never been to Texas (except changing flights in Huston), but I love to see how much effort is actually going into making the history of the people and culture real. (I am sure there are many things that are not described so well, but that may be your next goal). Thank you for showing a different side of Texas.

    In the agreement of the Spanish governor with Moses Austin it was indicated that "the settlers should preferably be German and Irish Catholics", the prize for the settler was attractive: about 500 hectares of arable land in the valley of the Brazos River.

    The opening in the middle of Anson Jones' house is called a breeze way! Also "Anson" Texas is named so after Anson Jones, of course in "Jones" county.

      @@lestermount3287 Cool. I would have loved to have seen a real one going. You don't see them here in the Carolinas much anymore, only "shotgun shacks" which is kinda of what I live in and restored. There is a two story dog trot historic house though in Saluda, South Carolina--can't remember the name but it is somewhere on the internet.

    You had Spanish, Germans, Polish, Czechs all were here. The correct term is Anglo Saxon. Anglos is slang and considered racist in some parts. BTW....Anglo-Saxon, term used historically to describe any member of the Germanic peoples who, from the 5th century ce to the time of the Norman Conquest (1066), inhabited and ruled territories that are today part of England and Wales.

      This only one story of many that I have to tell, one slice. I'm far from finished. Last week was Spanish Texas and before that the Caddo. Next week will be another. Germans came 10 years after Austin and the Czechs after that. I debated in my mind how I wanted to title this video and settled on what you see here.

  • @josealbert4596
    @josealbert4596 Месяц назад

    I think that the Spaniards agreed with Moses Austin that each family of settlers would receive about 500 hectares of land in the Brazos River area, a very attractive amount of land, but in exchange they would have to face the then terrible Comanches.

    Not a board remains of Washington, all hauled away by people who thought their trivial needs were more important than preserving the past. The term “Anglo” issued inappropriate to describe the white population . I’m sure the numerous Oersobs in Texas of German or Czech ancestry (or for that matte, of Scotch or Irish like myself, wouldn’t really prefer the term “Anglo.”

    • @secretsoftexas6872
      @secretsoftexas6872  3 года назад +3

      I never said Anglo referred to the entire "white population." I wasn't referring to the Germans or Czechs in this video. The earliest settlers of Stephen Austin's colony were predominantly English speaking. I gave the Germans their own video and will do the same for the Czechs.

    • @davidrox4591
      @davidrox4591 Год назад +1

      English is "Anglis" in Spanish, Spanish is "Espanol" in Spanish. If you married a Mexican girl back then, they said "he took a Spanish wife", in turn she would tell her mother her husband was "Anglo". Anglos (and Europeans more broadly) were considered the highest caste within Mexican Society during the Colonial period that ended 1821-1824.
