Note 11 — Chapter IV · ATTITUDE OF TEXANS TOWARD THE COLONY

Austin State Gazette, Aug. 11, 1855; Compare this article with the one written in the issue of September 22, 1855, wherein those who had suffered from persecution were advised to, “Come to the gallant West, where freedom is as expansive as the prairie, and as generous as the soil. Come to the West and let the golden grain you raise be sent back to feed the men whose ruthless hands would, as did those of Cain of old, strike down the toiling tiller of the soil.”
