Question

5 ways that Texas Ranching was influenced by Spain

Answer 1

Answer:  

Spanish ranchers influenced Anglo American cattle ranchers in many ways.

Explanation:

Cattle raised by the Spanish in Texas began in the mid 18th century. Spanish control the region from 1762 to 1800 who introduced Spanish style gear and saddles. Texas, in the beginning, settled by a few farmers and ranchers. The Spanish vaqueros taught American ranchers like roping, branding, and riding. They also introduced rope called lariats, and chaps along with sombreros hats for horse riders from the scorching sun and heat.

Texas became one of the places where American began to settle, which brought tension among the Spaniards living in Texas. The conflict arose between the two countries in the 1830s when Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna tries to enforce laws and forced to signs a treaty in 1836 that led to the independence of Texas. The war began in 1846, came to be known as the Mexican-American War.
