March 2 marks one of the most important days in Texas history. On that day in 1836, a group of delegates gathered at Washington-on-the-Brazos and signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, creating a brand-new country called the Republic of Texas.
In this episode of Texas History for Kids, we rewind the clock to explore the events that led to the revolution. From the arrival of settlers and rising tensions with Mexico to the first shot at Gonzales, the fall of the Alamo, the tragedy at Goliad, and the decisive Battle of San Jacinto, we follow the timeline that changed Texas forever.
Remember, history goes beyond the textbooks. Stay curious.
