Gregorio Cortez
La verdadero historia de Tejas Para resumir la cuenta de Gregorio Cortez, a la gente mexicana lo consideraba un héroe; al Anglos él era el "asesino del sheriff" y necesitado ser colgado. En el verano de 1901, Gregorio Cortez mató a dos sheriffes en Tejas del sur y se convirtió en uno de los fugitivos buscados de la historia del estado. Su estado del héroe entre la gente mexicana estaba principalmente debido a su capacidad de eludir a los guardabosques de Tejas. El mito y la leyenda del Alamo es la historia de la creación de Tejas, central a la leyenda sí mismo de Tejas, y es una leyenda que continúa creciendo, capturando la imaginación de la gente alrededor del mundo. El sitio entero duró 13 días. Martes De Febrero El 23 - Domingo De Marcha La 6 De 1836. El sitio y la batalla final del Alamo en 1836 constituyen el contrato militar celebrado de la historia de Tejas. La batalla era famosa todos los combatientes que lucharon para la libertad. Las peliculas de "Remember the Alamo" y "The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez" mostran luchar del americanos mexicanos por libertad y igualdad. En la historia de Tejas, nuestra maestro ensenamos sobre americanos blancos que fueron influyente en historia. No aprendi sobre afroamericanos o americanos mexicanos en la historia de Tejas. Las peliculas me dieron mas information. Por ejemplo, muchos leyes fue modificados porque del incidente entre Gregorio Cortez y Sheriff W. T. Morris. En el luchar por el Alamo, nos no ensenaron sobre el americanos mexicano que lucho a lo largo de los americanos blancos. No recuerdo oir cualquier cosa sobre americanos mexicanos. Solamente, recuerdo oir sobre Davy Crockett y James Bowie. No era hasta que aliste en sta clase eso que aprendi que muchos de americanos mexicanos fue matado porque lucharon con estos americanos blancos famosas. Creo que las dos peliculas nos equestrian la historia verdadero de Tejas. Las peliculas nos equestrian que la historia de Tejas es mas grande que los americanos

    Gregorio Cortez Journey

    Gregorio Cortez was born on a ranch on June 22, 1875 between Reynosa and Matamoros on the Mexican side of the river. He then relocated to Manor, Texas and a couple of years later he began working in a farm in Karnes and Gonzales counties. As we can see Gregorio Cortez is an ordinary man in an “ordinary world” just trying to survive and have a decent life. His “call to adventure” came when Sheriff Morris questioned Mexicans about a stolen horse, thus Gregorio was approached and questioned about the situation. Everything was going smoothly until the interpreter misunderstood Gregorio’s reply by failing to identify that in Mexican Culture there is a distinction between a horse (caballo) and mare (yegua). Gregorio said he never traded a horse…

    When discussing the importance of Spanish alliances, it is important to discuss Matthew Restall’s interpretation of “the myth of the white conquistador”. A common myth in regards to the Spanish Conquest is that the Aztecs were conquered by a small group of white Spanish men. Within Restall’s book titled “Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest”, he debunks the myth of the white conquistadors. Restall’s argues that “there is no doubt that the Spanish were consistently outnumbered by native enemies on the battlefield. But what has so often been ignored or forgotten is the fact that Spaniards tended also to be outnumbered by their own native allies. Furthermore, the invisible warriors of this myth took an additional form, that of the Africans, free and enslave, who accompanied Spanish…

    It is important to keep the ideas of the audience and rhetoric at the forefront of consideration in all three differing accounts. These writers, specifically the two conquistadores, were benefited by the fact that they are writing ‘eyewitness’ accounts with nobody to determine the veracity of their claims. Therefore, any biases should be perceived through their effort to convince their audience and what they hope to accomplish. Hernán Cortés’ letter to the crown describing the first encounters with the Mexica natives is brief, yet his message is clear. He recounts that on his journey to Tenochtitlan a number of Moctezuma’s emissaries met with him with great respect however their leader “ begged [Cortés], not to go [to Tenochtitlan], for [he] would suffer many hardships”, yet despite their protests still “gave [him] some three or four thousand castellanos and some clothing and slave girls, and made [him] very welcome” (Cortés, 16-17). With his series of lines, and the entire passage more generally, Cortés is purposefully making two things clear to the crown. He is saying that the Mexica are not only fearful, but also wealthy, therefore making them ideal targets for conquest. Through this narrative, Cortés is attempting to garner continued Spanish support by…

Therefore, it becomes that job of historians to analyze sources and determine their accuracy and relevancy. “The Conquest of New Spain” written by Bernal Díaz and “The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico” are two sources whose themes can be compared and contrasted in order to determine their accuracy as primary sources.

    The Battle of the Alamo lasted from February 23-March 6, 1836. When the thought of the Alamo is brought to one’s mind, we tend to picture a huge church, surrounded by a fort, and in the middle of nowhere. Instead, the Alamo stands a small, concrete Catholic church symbolized with its wavy, frontal exterior, the barracks where the soldiers rested, and a small spot which the soldiers stood defies the original visual elements of the Alamo. The church still shows the brutality of the battle with bullet holes punctured into the walls.…
