The Counter-Revolution of 1836
Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. Fascism
Book • 2023
In *The Counter-Revolution of 1836*, Gerald Horne examines the Texas Revolution as a pivotal event that not only solidified slavery in Texas but also contributed to the broader development of fascism in the United States.
Horne argues that the revolution was driven by the desire to protect slaveholding interests and expand territorial control, setting a precedent for future conflicts over slavery and racial supremacy.
