Their plan was to develop commercial agriculture in the Mexican state of Coahuila under the guidance of former slaveholders with former slaves providing the bulk of the labor force. By developing these new centers of agricultural production and commercial exchange, the Mexican government hoped to open up new markets and, by extending the few already-existing railroads in the region, also spur further development. The Southern Exodus to Mexico considers the experiences of both white southern elites and common white and black southern farmers and laborers who moved to Mexico during this period. Todd W. Wahlstrom examines in particular how the endemic warfare, raids, and violence along the borderlands of Texas and Coahuila affected the colonization effort. Ultimately, Native groups such as the Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and Kickapoos, along with local Mexicans, prevented southern colonies from taking hold in the region, where local tradition and careful balances of power negotiated over centuries held more sway than large nationalistic or economic forces. This study of the transcultural tensions and conflicts in this region provides new perspectives for the historical assessment of this period of Mexican and American history"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBorderlands and transcultural studies. 606 $aAmericans$zMexico$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAmerican Confederate voluntary exiles$zMexico$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWhite people$zSouthern States$xAttitudes$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xRefugees 607 $aSouthern States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aCoahuila (Mexico : State)$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmericans$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican Confederate voluntary exiles$xHistory 615 0$aWhite people$xAttitudes$xHistory 676 $a972/.07 700 $aWahlstrom$b Todd W.$0908296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460549103321 996 $aThe Southern exodus to Mexico$92031459 997 $aUNINA
