Question 5

The "Tejano School" of historiography focuses on the role and experiences of Tejanos in Texas history. The passage emphasizes Tejanos' active participation in the Texas Revolution (e.g., 160 Tejanos in capturing San Antonio, seven dying at the Alamo, Juan Seguin's role) and their political/economic motivations, which aligns with the Tejano School's focus. The "Heroic Anglo Narrative" centers on Anglo heroes, and "Southern Revival School" relates to Southern history/revival, neither matching here.

To support the "Tejano School" choice, we pick a quote highlighting Tejanos' active role. The quote about Juan Seguin (a Tejano) recruiting volunteers, defending the Alamo, and aiding the revolution shows Tejanos' centrality, fitting the Tejano School's focus on Tejano contributions.
