Abstract

Horne's ideas add a new dimension to the Texas Revolution by underscoring the complex structure of Texas and its people beyond the events of San Antonio and San Jacinto. Horne's study offers a comprehensive view of race, oligarchy, and the elimination of political power for people of color, from the colonial period to the modern era. Instead, Horne maintains that the Texas independence movement serves as a catalyst to explore how important the Lone Star State is to American history and how White supremacy and fascism persist into the twenty-first century.
