A Social and Political History of Texas by Lewis W. Newton is a comprehensive account of the development of Texas from pre-colonial times to the present day. The book delves into the social and political aspects of Texas history, including the state's unique blend of cultures and its role in shaping the political landscape of the United States.The book begins with a detailed examination of the Native American tribes that inhabited Texas before the arrival of European settlers. It then moves on to explore the Spanish and Mexican colonial periods, the fight for independence, and the state's role in the Civil War.The author also provides a thorough analysis of the economic and social changes that took place in Texas during the 20th century, including the rise of the oil industry, the Civil Rights movement, and the growing influence of Hispanic and African American communities.Throughout the book, Newton emphasizes the role of politics in shaping Texas history, from the state's early days as a republic to its current status as a major player in national politics. He also examines the complex relationships between different groups in Texas, including the tensions between Anglo and Hispanic communities.Overall, A Social and Political History of Texas provides a detailed and engaging account of one of America's most fascinating states, offering readers a deeper understanding of the forces that have shaped Texas over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
