Analyzing James Sandos The Plan Of San Diego

Through an analysis of James Sandos's perspective on "The Plan of San Diego" and its associated uprising in South Texas in 1915, along with insights from Weiss's "The Texas Rangers Revisited," I will firstly talk about James Sandos in The Plan of San Diego and how he partially blames the people but also the ideals created to help convert people to fight for The Plan of San Diego. Later on I will discuss the contents of the plan, such as taking over parts of America, the people behind it and their efforts. Finally, I will go on to talk about how everything unfolded and the way things ended. The last thing I will go over is the role of Texas Rangers in the Plan Affair and their overall historical background throughout the years. Overall, I will

While they were able to cause destruction and had around 30 different confrontations in the end, their efforts did not succeed. In the end, because of the bandits and wars happening, many Anglos moved further north and many people in the Rio Grande had to also move, making the efforts achieve the opposite of what was originally planned. Sandos states “The results of this terrorism were widespread fear, panic, and reprisals against the local Mexican populace” showing that what the Mexicans originally thought this plan would ensure actually turned into catastrophe. Another huge aspect to why this plan didn’t work was the spread of the 20,000 soldiers across the border, which Sandos recognised as a weakening in their plan. The last interruption to the plan was the efforts of the Texas rangers who were able to drive away and disband these groups of bandits that destroyed and killed innocent people. In this next section, I will go on to talk about the role of the Rangers. First off, I’ll start by using James Sandoses work to help explain their role in The Plan of San

Finally they evolved into “basic modern state police”(Wiess, pg 622). Historically they were mostly liked through many of their eras by their own people but despised by other ethnic people such as Mexicans, Spaniards, Native Americans, and African Americans for a lot of unfair injustices that they had caused. In conclusion, we were able to go through the blame for the 1915 uprising, the contents of the San Diego Plan, and the role and characterizations of the Texas Rangers. Looking at James Sandos's take on "The Plan of San Diego" and insights from Weiss's "The Texas Rangers Revisited" helps us understand the 1915 uprising in South Texas better. Sandos points out that leaders like Carranza, De la Rosa, and Pizana, along with propaganda from German groups, played a big role in the uprising. This was fueled by tensions between Anglo-Americans and Mexicans, as well as historical grievances. The plan aimed to take over American land, reflecting the frustrations of marginalized groups in the Rio Grande area. Despite some early support, the uprising failed, causing fear and backlash among local Mexican
