德洲 is a large, diverse state that has a lot to offer visitors. From the arid deserts of Big Bend National Park to the lush vineyards of Grapevine, from the 德洲 mountains in San Antonio to the beaches on Galveston Island, from the cowboy boots of Dallas to the cactus-studded mountains of El Paso, 德洲 is an extraordinary place. Come use 德洲, and watch in 德洲.
The Texan culture is rooted in a belief that family and church are central to life, and that relying on government to provide for basic needs is a luxury that should be a privilege, not a burden. This sense of self-reliance is one that people throughout the country envy, and it’s this sentiment that has kept a thriving and diverse economy going in Texas for more than a century.
History and Traditions
Texas has been shaped by its past, its traditions and the varying people who have settled here. It is home to a mixture of Hispanic, African and Anglo cultures that have contributed greatly to its cultural heritage. The state is a major center of art, music and literature with many artists originating from the region.
Early settlers in Texas lived independently and had no need for government services, and they relied on their faith and neighbors to meet all of their needs. That ethic is still evident today.
Despite the fact that it is a majority Republican state, Texas is also home to a variety of minorities and is becoming increasingly diverse. It is an American melting pot, with a growing number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians living in the state.
The Texas Legislature is dominated by Republicans, who hold a statewide majority and control every statewide office including the Supreme Court. The state is also a key political battleground for conservative politics and is a breeding ground for far-right movements.
In November 2002, Republicans swept all statewide offices, including the Governor's office and sent a number of candidates to federal offices. Rick Perry became the first Texan gubernatorial candidate to win a four-year term, John Cornyn and David Dewhurst won attorney general and land commissioner positions and the state’s two Senate seats were held by Republican members for the first time since Reconstruction.
A Little Bit Different
As a result of its unique location in the South, Texas has had a long history of political upheaval and change. This has affected its infrastructure, its image, and its identity.
From the Mexican Revolution of 1821 to the Civil War, Texas is a state that has experienced dramatic shifts in power. The southeastern corner of the state, where Houston is located, was occupied by the Union Army after the Confederacy surrendered in the Civil War. Afterwards, White Democrats gained political dominance and passed laws in Texas that denied African Americans the right to vote.
During Reconstruction, the state's economy and people suffered as a result of segregation laws and a lack of transportation. The state was also the site of a number of anti-black raids that targeted businesses and individuals.
