One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. In this assignment, you will be presenting your own interpretation of Jim Bowie. Once you have completed your research, submit a mini-essay on your findings concerning the differing values. After reading the lecture by L. Patrick Hughes, think about the differing values of the Texans and Mexicans that led to the conflict and eventual revolution. Which differences did you find most compelling as a reason for war? Which do you think were not relevant to the outbreak of revolution?
