French Louisiana, France took a
bold step in 1685, planting its flag
in eastern Texas near the Gulf
Coast.
•Even though the Spain had
already settled there was almost
no Spanish.
•It was planned that French
Louisiana be expanded.

•Since Mexico gained its
independence from Spain,
Texas was automatically
part of Mexico, therefore
the Mexican flag was flown
over Texas.

Texas

should be a Republic.
•During almost 10 years of being a
Republic ,Texas suffered from
economic crisis and even more
battles with Mexico.

hardships ,they still came up with
some Texas heritage like the first

• The red, white, and blue Texas flag
which was adopted in 1839 now flies
in schools, banks, and malls.

Confederacy

Confederacy Texas suffered even more
economic crisis.
