Specific Question for Unit 1:
In Texas, the Alamo is shrouded in mystery and legend and stands as one of the most revered places in the state. However, new evidence suggests much of the legendary components of the battle are inaccurate or exaggerated. Still, the legend of the Alamo stands as a physical reminder of the dedication of the average Texan to stand and fight in the face of tyranny.  To what extent does the historic legend surrounding the Alamo continue to impact federal/state relationships today as well as the overall identity of the Texas political culture? Does the legend truly carry more weight, and, if so, why? Answer should be supported with evidence from the article and textbook.
Possible Support: The Alamo is currently undergoing a mass renovation. Details may be found at http://www.thealamo.org/alamomasterplan/index2.html
