Texian Totally Explained

Everything about Texian totally explained

Texians were Anglo-American residents of Texas when Texas was part of Mexico, and subsequently when it was a sovereign nation.
   Residents of the modern U.S. state of Texas are known as Texans.
   However, many different immigrant groups came to Texas over the centuries. There was Spanish immigration in the 1600s, French in the 1700s and massive German, Czech, Dutch, Swedish, Irish, Scots and Welsh immigration in the years leading up to Texas independence in the 1800s. Thus, the word Texian isn't specific to Anglo immigrants or English speaking immigrants that settled the land, yet Texian refers to anyone of any color and language not of local Tejano heritage.
   Also of note; the Texian Army that was organized for the Texas Revolution for independence from Mexico in 1835-36 was a very diverse group of men and women from many different nations and/or states. The Texian Army was made up of local native-born Tejano volunteers, United States volunteers from states such as Alabama, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, as well as nations like England, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and what is now the Czech Republic.
