Mrs. Gonzalez
Texas History

Welcome, 

Yes, it is Monday! This is the Four Week of the 3rd Six Weeks! Please continue your phenomenal behavior as we continue through this school year. Let's keep our behavior and attendance going strong for the Third Six Weeks! Ten days closer to Christmas Break, hold your heads up! This week we will be discussing The Life of People in the Colonies and well as the Growth of the Colonies. Monday, we will present on Early Colonist of Texas. Tuesday, we will continue the Growth of the Colonies. Wednesday, we will work on an interactive activity that will help you understand the reasons behind colonization and take a ten question quiz. Thursday, we will focus on the Life of the People in the Colonies. Friday, you will have a substitute.

Erasmo Seguin
If Texas gave a Medal of Honor, the first one should go Erasmo Seguin. This guy not only resisted tyrany, he sacrificed his own personal belonging and welfare in his fight against it. He and General Cos had a history of antagonism before the revolution, so when General Cos was one of the military leaders of the fight for independence, for Erasmo Sequin, it was personal. But, he could go out of his way to befriend his companions. He avidly supported Stephen F. Austin and invited Davy Crockett into his own home when Crockett arrived in San Antonio. Seguin gave his own supplies to provison the Alamo prior to the final siege! His actions prove Seguin was prepared to give everything he had for the cause of freedom, even if he had to give his life as well. The city of Seguin, TX, 36 miles east of San Antonio, is named after him.
