The culture of Texas has been a melting pot of the "Southern" (Dixie) and Southwestern (Anglo-Mexican fusion) North American culture, with pockets of colonies of ethnic groups in and around metropolitan and other urban areas while the entire Rio Grande River valley, and increasingly other areas to the east and north of it, have been re-mexicized due to recent migration and high birth rates (accompanied by "white flight") among the ethnic Mexican population. All of this is due to Texas' geographic location and settler past in the United States' history. The state of Texas is a diverse ethnic-origin state predominantly due to international migration before and over its history, while at the same time very North American, and an international place to live, in part because of its many oil industries. Texas also has an influx of people from the central United States moving in to find oil. Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota have experienced a "brain drain" as their university graduates move to Texas to find employment.

A. I lived in Texas for thirteen years and got out before my mind was completely bent--so here goes. Texas has its own language: The words oil, all, owl and awl are pronounced the same. War is used several ways: War ya goin, kid? War is terble destructive Bob war will tear you up somethin' fierce. Fout Werth girls say "cow" as a three syllable word. National sport of Texas is football. It's not that game where you just kick the ball around and hit it with your head. You can drive all day at 70mph in a straight line in Texas and still be in Texas. El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Houston. Beef on a grill is the national dish of Texas. Rare is standard. Less cooking and you can say "I've seen cows hurt worse than this and live". [cont.]

Q. How is the public s general acceptance of capital punishment in Texas related to the state s dominant political culture?
Asked by Ednaa - Sat May 31 03:25:29 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What is the state's dominant political culture? Texas is historically a state that has voted Conservative Democrat. When the Democratic party turned liberal many Democrats jumped to the Republican party. Most Texans, like most Americans, support capital punishment. I know lifelong Democrats who have argued in favor of it far more fervently than most Republicans--and I have lived in Texas nearly 40 years. I think you will find that the anti-capital punishment movement is largely by liberals and few conservatives of either party support it. The Libertarian party generally is against it. I am a moderate Republican who generally supports capital punishment but would favor more options--such as life without parole--for capital offenders.… [cont.]

  • One objection I have heard voiced to works of this kind—dealing with Texas—is the amount of gore spilled across the pages. It can not be otherwise. In order to write a realistic and true history of any part of the Southwest, one must narrate such things, even at the risk of monotony.
