Texas went through a great amount of political change from being dominated by the Democratic Party during the 1960s and 70s, from the Republican Party taking over in the 80s. One of the big reasons for this change was due to the political party’s views. Throughout this essay I will discuss the changes of the political stances in Texas as well as the present day factors that affect America.
In the United States, for the last four decades, from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan through the two Bush Presidencies, the Republican Party won the White House by amassing large margins among white voters (Lizza.) The state of Texas has been reliably Republican since the 1970s and there are various elements to Texas political culture that can be narrowed down to three essential ideological trends: economic liberalism, or faith in the free market economy, social conservatism, or favoring traditional values and moralism, and populism, or promoting the rights and worthiness of ordinary people (Texas Political Culture.) As a result, the dominant political mood in Texas favors low taxes, minimal government services, and policies that are pro-business. This phenomenon is not static, however, since changing demographics in the state are causing changes in the profile of Texas in reference to electoral politics, among other major issues. This paper will explore different perspectives about the changing demographics of Texas, and where they might lead the state politically, and will present a variety of viewpoints regarding this complex subject.

Its breakdown in Mexican Statehood was caused by Gnereal Santa Anna’s centralized all power in Mexico City and limited U.S. trade, and the Battle of the Alamo was the final nail in the coffin. Then Texas was called the Republic of the Rio Grande, and the capital was Laredo. It was a small country that only existed in 1840, but it was never officially recognized. The second constitution was the Republic of Texas in 1836 to 1845. It was an independent nation that nearly copied the US Document.

This breakdown when economic tyranny by the north and slavery. 1861 - 1865, the Confederate State of Texas replaced US with Confederacy in the documents of 1845 and banned the freeing of slaves. It breakdown caused by the lose of Confederacy in Civil War. The history of how Texas got to the current constitution can be compare to the Mexico history.

In the year 1858 not many choices for higher education or college were available. For texans, there was no option that was in their own state. Due to this, the Texas legislature set aside land grants for Texas’s first university. Once the university had opened people were starting to wonder about the possibilities of oil within their campus. This led to the first major oil discovery in the West Texas Permian Basin. Once the oil money began to flow in it triggered a massive amount of construction to begin in this area. Although this boom didn’t last very long, by 2008 the university had made $4.4 billion dollars due to oil and gas. For this exact reason is why I believe that Document A deserves the most airtime

Without bias, any United States citizen has thought of Texas of being a big oil producer in the country. Afterall, since the largest discovery of oil in the United States in 1901 was discovered near Beaumont, Texas it would cause some changes not only in the local area but the entire state as well. We all take oil for granted each day but maybe one day you should thank Texas for fueling the United State’s oil production and making the economy a lot better.
Perhaps the next question would be how poverty came about. According to the Texas Politics Project Texas has being suffering from poverty since the early 80's .
