We Were Illegal: Uncovering a Texas Family's Mythmaking and Migration As I delve into the rich history of my own family, I am struck by the complexities and contradictions that have shaped the Lone Star State. My great-grandfather, a devout Christian and influential figure in the establishment of Abilene's Hardin-Simmons University, was instrumental in bringing slavery to Texas and signing redlining policies that continue to impact marginalized communities today. This revelation challenges the idyllic narrative of my family's legacy, rooted in faith and hard work, and forces me to confront the darker aspects of our history. In We Were Illegal, I embark on a journey to uncover the truth about my ancestors' role in pivotal moments of Texas history, from before the Revolution to the Civil War and the rise of the Texas Rangers. Through meticulous research and personal anecdotes, I expose the hypocrisies and long-buried histories that have been passed down through generations, revealing the fractured nature of our collective past. My exploration begins with the early illegal settlements on Mexican land, where my great-grandfather played a significant part in shaping the state's expansion.
Мы были незаконными: раскрытие мифотворчества и миграции техасской семьи Когда я углубляюсь в богатую историю моей собственной семьи, я поражен сложностями и противоречиями, которые сформировали штат Одинокой Звезды. Мой прадед, набожный христианин и влиятельная фигура в создании Абилинского университета Хардин-Симмонс, сыграл важную роль в том, чтобы привнести рабство в Техас и подписать политику «красной линии», которая продолжает влиять на маргинальные сообщества сегодня. Это откровение бросает вызов идиллическому повествованию о наследии моей семьи, коренящемуся в вере и трудолюбии, и заставляет меня противостоять более мрачным аспектам нашей истории. В «Мы были незаконными» я отправляюсь в путешествие, чтобы раскрыть правду о роли моих предков в ключевые моменты истории Техаса, от до революции до гражданской войны и появления техасских рейнджеров. С помощью тщательных исследований и личных анекдотов я разоблачаю лицемерие и давно похороненные истории, которые передавались через поколения, раскрывая изломанную природу нашего коллективного прошлого. Мое исследование начинается с ранних незаконных поселений на мексиканской земле, где мой прадед сыграл значительную роль в формировании расширения штата.
Nous étions illégaux : révéler la mythologie et la migration de la famille texane Quand je m'enfonce dans la riche histoire de ma propre famille, je suis sidéré par les complexités et les contradictions qui ont façonné l'État de Lone Star. Mon arrière-grand-père, un chrétien pieux et une figure influente dans la création de l'Université Hardin-mmons d'Abilin, a joué un rôle important dans l'introduction de l'esclavage au Texas et la signature de la politique de la ligne rouge qui continue d'influencer les communautés marginalisées aujourd'hui. Cette révélation remet en question le récit idyllique de l'héritage de ma famille enraciné dans la foi et le travail acharné et m'amène à m'opposer aux aspects les plus sombres de notre histoire. Dans « Nous étions illégaux », je fais un voyage pour révéler la vérité sur le rôle de mes ancêtres à des moments clés de l'histoire du Texas, de la révolution à la guerre civile et l'émergence des Rangers du Texas. A travers des recherches minutieuses et des anecdotes personnelles, je fais ressortir l'hypocrisie et les histoires enterrées de longue date qui se sont véhiculées à travers les générations, révélant la nature brisée de notre passé collectif. Mon étude commence par les premières colonies illégales sur le sol mexicain, où mon arrière-grand-père a joué un rôle important dans l'expansion de l'État.
Éramos ilegales: revelar la mitificación y migración de una familia texana Cuando profundizo en la rica historia de mi propia familia, me asombran las complejidades y contradicciones que formaron el estado de la Estrella Solitaria. Mi bisabuelo, un cristiano devoto y una figura influyente en la creación de la Universidad Hardin-mmons de Abilin, fue fundamental para traer la esclavitud a Texas y firmar una política de «línea roja» que sigue afectando a las comunidades marginales hoy en día. Esta revelación desafía la narrativa idílica del legado de mi familia, arraigada en la fe y el trabajo duro, y me hace confrontar aspectos más oscuros de nuestra historia. En «Fuimos ilegales», me embarco en un viaje para revelar la verdad sobre el papel de mis antepasados en momentos clave de la historia de Texas, desde antes de la revolución hasta la guerra civil y el surgimiento de los Rangers de Texas. Con una investigación minuciosa y anécdotas personales expongo la hipocresía y las historias largamente enterradas que se transmitieron a través de las generaciones, revelando la naturaleza fracturada de nuestro pasado colectivo. Mi investigación comienza con los primeros asentamientos ilegales en suelo mexicano, donde mi bisabuelo jugó un papel significativo en la formación de la expansión del estado.
amo stati illegali: rivelare la mitologia e la migrazione della famiglia texana Quando esco nella ricca storia della mia famiglia, sono stupito per le difficoltà e le contraddizioni che hanno formato lo stato della Stella Solitaria. Il mio bisnonno, cristiano devoto e influente nella creazione della Hardin mmons University, ha avuto un ruolo importante nel portare schiavitù in Texas e nel firmare la politica della linea rossa, che continua a influenzare le comunità marginali oggi. Questa rivelazione sfida la narrazione idilliaca dell'eredità della mia famiglia, ambientata nella fede e nella fatica, e mi spinge ad affrontare gli aspetti più oscuri della nostra storia. In «amo stati illegali», faccio un viaggio per scoprire la verità sul ruolo dei miei antenati nei momenti chiave della storia del Texas, dalla rivoluzione alla guerra civile e alla nascita dei ranger texani. Attraverso approfondite ricerche e aneddoti personali, rivelo l'ipocrisia e le storie sepolte da tempo, che sono state trasmesse attraverso generazioni, rivelando la natura lacerante del nostro passato collettivo. La mia ricerca inizia con i primi insediamenti illegali sul suolo messicano, dove il mio bisnonno ha avuto un ruolo importante nella formazione dello stato.
Wir waren illegal: Enthüllung der Mythenbildung und Migration einer texanischen Familie Während ich in die reiche Geschichte meiner eigenen Familie eintauche, bin ich überwältigt von den Komplexitäten und Widersprüchen, die den Lone Star State geprägt haben. Mein Urgroßvater, ein gläubiger Christ und eine einflussreiche Figur bei der Gründung der Hardin-mmons-Universität von Abilin, war maßgeblich daran beteiligt, Sklaverei nach Texas zu bringen und eine „rote Linie“ -Politik zu unterzeichnen, die bis heute marginalisierte Gemeinschaften beeinflusst. Diese Offenbarung fordert die idyllische Erzählung über das Erbe meiner Familie heraus, das im Glauben und in harter Arbeit verwurzelt ist, und zwingt mich, mich den dunkleren Aspekten unserer Geschichte zu stellen. In „Wir waren illegal“ begebe ich mich auf eine Reise, um die Wahrheit über die Rolle meiner Vorfahren in Schlüsselmomenten der texanischen Geschichte aufzudecken, von der Revolution über den Bürgerkrieg bis hin zum Aufkommen der Texas Rangers. Durch sorgfältige Recherche und persönliche Anekdoten entlarve ich die Heuchelei und die lange verschütteten Geschichten, die über Generationen weitergegeben wurden und die zerbrochene Natur unserer kollektiven Vergangenheit offenbaren. Meine Forschung beginnt mit den frühen illegalen edlungen auf mexikanischem Boden, wo mein Urgroßvater eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Gestaltung der Expansion des Staates spielte.

Biz Yasadışıydık: Teksas Ailesinin Efsane Oluşturma ve Göçünü Ortaya Çıkarmak Kendi ailemin zengin tarihine daldıkça, Lone Star devletini şekillendiren karmaşıklıklar ve çelişkiler tarafından vuruldum. Abilene Hardin-mmons Üniversitesi'nin yaratılmasında dindar bir Hıristiyan ve etkili bir figür olan büyük büyükbabam, köleliği Teksas'a getirmede ve bugün marjinalleşmiş toplulukları etkilemeye devam eden "kırmızı çizgi" politikalarını imzalamada etkili oldu. Bu vahiy, ailemin mirasının, inanç ve sıkı çalışmaya dayanan pastoral anlatısına meydan okuyor ve beni tarihimizin daha karanlık yönleriyle yüzleşmeye zorluyor. "Biz Yasa Dışıydık'da, devrimden önce İç Savaş'tan Texas Rangers'ın ortaya çıkmasına kadar Teksas tarihinin önemli anlarında atalarımın rolü hakkındaki gerçeği ortaya çıkarmak için bir yolculuğa çıkıyorum. Dikkatli araştırmalar ve kişisel anekdotlarla, nesiller boyunca aktarılan ikiyüzlülüğü ve uzun süredir gömülü hikayeleri ortaya çıkarıyorum, kolektif geçmişimizin kırılmış doğasını ortaya çıkarıyorum. Araştırmam, büyük büyükbabamın devlet genişlemesini şekillendirmede önemli bir rol oynadığı Meksika topraklarındaki erken yasadışı yerleşimlerle başlıyor.
كنا غير قانونيين: الكشف عن صناعة الأسطورة والهجرة لعائلة تكساس بينما أتعمق في التاريخ الغني لعائلتي، أدهشني التعقيدات والتناقضات التي شكلت ولاية لون ستار. كان جدي الأكبر، وهو مسيحي متدين وشخصية مؤثرة في إنشاء جامعة أبيلين هاردين سيمونز، مفيدًا في جلب العبودية إلى تكساس والتوقيع على سياسات «الخط الأحمر» التي لا تزال تؤثر على المجتمعات المهمشة اليوم. يتحدى هذا الوحي السرد المثالي لإرث عائلتي، المتجذر في الإيمان والعمل الجاد، ويجبرني على مواجهة الجوانب المظلمة من تاريخنا. في «كنا غير قانونيين»، أشرع في رحلة لكشف الحقيقة حول دور أسلافي في اللحظات الحاسمة من تاريخ تكساس، من ما قبل الثورة إلى الحرب الأهلية إلى ظهور تكساس رينجرز. من خلال البحث الدقيق والحكايات الشخصية، أفضح النفاق والقصص المدفونة منذ فترة طويلة التي انتقلت عبر الأجيال، مما يكشف عن الطبيعة الممزقة لماضينا الجماعي. يبدأ بحثي بمستوطنات غير قانونية مبكرة على الأراضي المكسيكية، حيث لعب جدي الأكبر دورًا مهمًا في تشكيل توسع الدولة.
