C. Allan Jones reminds us that the economic wealth of modern Texas arose from its agricultural heritage. Texans adapted agricultural technology, law, and custom of New Spain, Mexico, Europe and the South to their practical, institutional, and legal needs. The result was a system that was the base for economic strength after the Civil War.
