The American Revolution Remembered

July 1 through November 8, 2026

 

THE IDEALS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONS ran deep in the Texas Revolution.  Like the colonial founders, the Texians framed the Texas Revolution in the language of natural rights, constitutional liberty, and resistance to tyranny.  For Texians, the American Revolution was not distant history; it was a living blueprint.  


See some of the ways that the earlier revolution was commemorated and remembered by those who were directly impacted by the Texas Revolution of 1836.
