Although the options are not provided with this question, we can still try to answer it by looking at the characteristics that were part of what is known as the "Texas mystique."
The "Texas mystique" refers to a series of myths that arose with the development of Texas. These myths were exaggerated stories about the realities of Texans. Three myths were particularly relevant.
First, the Battle of the Alamo created a mythological view of the war and the role that Texas had in it. The battle was seen as heroic, with many participants being recognized as actual heroes. Second, the Texas Rangers were also presented as heroic characters that engaged in epic battles. Finally, the myth of the cowboy became extremely popular as an epic expression of the American spirit.
All of these myths shared similar characteristics. They presented Texans as unique within America. They also highlighted the qualities of important Texans and turned them into heroes and titanic figures. Finally, they described the struggles and advancements of Texans in terms that normally belonged to epic stories.
