Chapter 11.2. Lamar’s Plan for the Republic. . Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar was
______________(elected) the second. . president of Texas in ___________(1838), following
Sam Houston’s first term. These . . two Texas leaders differed in many
ways.________________( Houston) liked flashy . . clothing and had a reputation for frontier
_______________(boldness). Lamar enjoyed . . the quiet ______________(pastimes) of reading
and writing __________(poetry). Both . . men became _____________ _____________(strong
leaders), each with his own . . vision for _____________ ____________(Texas’s future).. . .
During his administration _________________(Houston) worked to keep . . peaceful relations
with _______________(Mexico) and the _______________ . . ______________(Native
Americans). He spent little ____________(money) and . . promoted the
____________________(annexation) of Texas. Lamar, on the other . . hand, did not shy away
from a renewal of ____________(conflict) with Mexico. He . . wanted to clear Texas of all
_________________ _________________(Native . . Americans) to provide more land for Anglo
Texans. He ____________ (spent) large . . sums of borrowed money on _________________(
military) expeditions. He also . . wanted Texas to remain __________________( independent)
and expand its territory. . . . Today’s Texans often think of _______________
______________(Sam . . Houston) as representing the bold image for which Texans are known
throughout the . . world. Actually, this legacy is a result of ______________( Lamar’s)
administration. . . Lamar’s aggressive approach to Texas’s policies was clear in his 1838
inaugural . . address. He remarked, “If peace can be obtained only by the _________ (sword),
let . . the sword do its work.―. . Clashes with Native Texans. Unlike Houston, who
__________________(sympathized) with the Native. . Texans, Lamar wanted to
__________(kill) or __________(force) them out of Texas. . . The Cherokees in East Texas were
his first target. In 1839 Lamar ordered . . ____________ _____________ (Chief Bowles) to lead
the Cherokees out of Texas. . . When Bowles refused, Lamar authorized General __________
___________(Kelsey . . Douglass) to drive them out. Douglass’s militia attacked the
____________(Cherokees) . . near the Neches River on July 16, 1839. Bowles was killed, and
the Cherokees were . . forced into present-day _____________(Oklahoma.). . . Lamar’s
administration also opposed the _________________( Comanches) in . . Southwest Texas. After
skirmishes with Texas troops in 1839, some _______________ . . ( Comanche) leaders agreed to
a meeting in San Antonio on March 19, 1840, to discuss . . peace. The Comanches promised to
_____________( surrender) all Anglo captives. . . Therefore, the Texans were angered when
they delivered only one, a girl named . . ____________ _____________(Matilda Lockhart), who
looked as if she might have . . been tortured. The Texans were outraged. They
___________(refused) to allow the . . Comanche leaders to leave until all
___________(captives) were released. The . . ______________ (Comanches) protested that the
other ___________(captives) were . . being held by Comanche _________(bands) who were not
present. When the leaders . . tried to leave, they were attacked. This conflict was known as the
_____________ . . _______________ ___________(Council House Fight). It led to the deaths of
. . _________(seven) Texans and many Comanche leaders, who were _______(unarmed) . . and
outnumbered.. . When _________(news) of the Council House Fight reached the Comanche . .
villagers, they were __________(furious). They believed that their _________(leaders) . . should
have been _______(safe) while attending peace talks. The Comanches killed . . the remaining
_________(Texas) prisoners and raided the towns of ________(Linnville) . . and
_____________(Victoria) in South Texas. Lamar responded with a military force led . . by Felix
Huston, Edward Burleson, and Ben McCulloch. The Texans fought the
________________(Comanches) on August 11, 1840, in the _________ __ ________ . . (Battle
of Plum Creek), killing more than ______(100) Comanches. After this battle, . . there were fewer
_____________(Comanche) raids, but bad feelings continued for . . decades.. . Relations with
Mexico. Lamar’s attempts to improve relations with ___________ (Mexico) were not . .
effective. In fact, in 1840 he sent the _________ _______(Texas navy), commanded by . .
Commodore Edwin Moore, to assist __________(Yucatecan) rebels in their revolt . . against the
___________(Mexican) government. Perhaps Lamar reasoned that . . anything that
________(harmed) Mexico helped Texas, but his action only _____________(increased)
tensions.. . . Lamar’s vision of a larger, more_______________( independent) Texas also . .
created conflict with ________ __________(New Mexico). The Treaties of Velasco, . . signed
by Santa Anna in 1836, set the boundary between _________(Texas) and . .
__________(Mexico) at the Rio Grande. Lamar assumed that this included all of the Rio . .
Grande, as far ________(north) as its headwaters in Colorado. This boundary would . . make
_________ __(Santa Fe) and the __________(Pueblo) colonies part of Texas. . . In 1841 Lamar
sought permission from ____________(Congress) to send troops to . . New Mexico. Congress
_________( refused).. . Nevertheless, Lamar sent General Hugh McLeod and a force of 270 men
to . . _________ ____(Santa Fe) to convince New Mexicans that they were ________ . .
(Texans). The group traveled 1,300 miles across the territory of hostile
_____________(Comanches) and _____________(Apaches). When they arrived, the New . .
Mexicans ____________( refused) to become part of Texas. Without the necessary . .
___________(supplies) to return home, the Texans ________________(surrendered) to . .
Mexican authorities. The Texans were marched to the Mexican city of . .
_____________(Perote), where they were kept in prison until 1842. The Santa Fe expedition . .
___________( wasted) money that Texas did not have, ______________(increased) . . tensions
with Mexico, and resulted in the _____(loss) of lives.. . A New Capital. Another change that
Lamar made was the ___________(location) of Texas’s capital. . . Many Texans thought that
the __________(capital) of Texas should be more . . __________(centrally) located. In 1839
Congress authorized a new location for the capital . . south of __ ___________ _______(El
Camino Real), the road from San Antonio to . . Nacogdoches. It was located along the
____________(Colorado) River near a small . . community named _____________(Waterloo).
Lamar moved the capital to this site, which . . was named ______________(Austin) in honor of
Stephen F. Austin. . . Education. Lamar is best known for his
__________________(contributions) to public education. . . Like many other Texans, he wanted
to ____________(create) a public . . _______________(education) system in Texas. In fact,
when the Texans wrote their . . ___________________(Declaration) of
_________________(Independence), they listed the . . Mexicans’ failure to establish
_____________(schools) in Texas as one of their . . ____________(complaints). Lamar believed
that a strong system of . . ______________(education) could make Texas a great nation. . . . The
Texas Congress responded by setting aside almost 18,000 acres of land in each . .
________(county) for public schools. Congress also set aside over 220,000 acres for two . .
______________(universities). Although few public schools were . .
actually____________(built) during Lamar’s administration, he became known as the . .
_______________ __ ______________( “Father of Education) in Texas― for his vision of
. . education.. . . . . . . . . . . . - 3 -. . . .
