SANTIAGO APARICIO, Eliud. Donations, Finger-pointing, and Accusations: The War with Texas and its Effects on Mexican Society (1835-1836). Secuencia [online]. 2023, n.117, e2115.  Epub Aug 01, 2023. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i117.2115.

Based on discourse and quantitative analysis, this paper examines the voluntary contributions to defray the expenses of the military campaign in Texas and the speeches in favor of the conflict. It also explores the impact of the capture of the Álamo on Mexican society and the donations offered after the defeat at San Jacinto. Lastly, it studies the expressions of animosity towards Americans and other foreigners following the imprisonment of General Antonio López de Santa Anna.
