Sumario:To a large degree, the story of Texas' secession from Mexico has been undertaken by scholars of the state. Early twentieth century historians of the revolutionary period, most notably Eugene Barker and William Binkley, characterized the conflict as a clash of two opposing cultures, yet their exclusive focus on the region served to reinforce popular notions of a unique Texas past.

Notas:Published on occasion of the 48th Annual Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lecture, held at the University of Texas at Arlington in March, 2013.
