The Treaty of Velasco Primary Source Analysis

Texas History students will read and analyze the public Treaty of Velasco from the end of the Texas Revolution by answering 13 questions and completing 2 tasks (one academic and one creative). This would be great for a sub and the answers are included where appropriate.

Sample questions include:
--What did Santa Anna agree to in the first article? Why do you think that was deemed important enough to be written first?
--Inferring from the historical context, what is the most significant phrase in the third article, and why?
--How might the slaves have felt being referred to as “private property” and how did that classification contrast with what Texans were fighting for?
--In what ways could the 6th article have been enforced? What would have been a reasonable repercussion, or consequence, were it violated?
