  1. Six Flags of Texas By Carrie Hunnicutt

  2. TEKS • §113.6. Social Studies, Grade 4 • (17)  Citizenship. The student understands important customs, symbols, and celebrations of Texas. The student is expected to: • (A)  explain the meaning of selected patriotic symbols and landmarks of Texas, including the six flags over Texas

  3. Spain 1519-1685; 1690-1821 Spain was the first European nation to claim what is now Texas. Process began in 1519 when Cortez was establishing Spanish presence in Mexico.

  4. France 1685-1690 Although claimed by Spain, most of Texas had no Spanish presence at all. The French founded a colony called Fort St. Louis. The effort was doomed by a series of calamities: shipwreck, disease, famine, hostile Indians, and internal strife.

  5. Mexico 1821-1836 After Mexico became independent, pioneers from Mexico flowed into Texas. Divergent social and political attitudes began to alienate the two cultures. Texans revolted and won their independence April 21, 1836.

  6. Republic of Texas 1836-1845 During nearly ten years of independence, the Texas republic endured epidemics, financial crises and still-volatile clashes with Mexico. Texas joined the United States on December 29, 1845.

  7. Confederate States of America 1861-1865 Sixteen years after Texas joined the union, the American Civil War erupted. Texas cast its lot with the doomed southerners, reaping devastation and economic collapse as did all Confederate states.

  8. United States of America 1845 – 1861; 1865-Present On joining the union, Texas became the 28th star on the U.S. flag.
