Working Concept Plan
The experience this room is designed to create
A ragtag army of settlers, adventurers, and Tejano freedom fighters defeats the Mexican army and declares the Republic of Texas. The Alamo becomes a myth. But the war also accelerates the expansion of American slavery into new territories — and makes the Civil War nearly inevitable.
Present Texan War of Independence with historical clarity, human dignity, and enough context to understand causes, choices, consequences, and contested memory.
