... Historical; Texas has had six Constitutions, beginning with the Spanish one, independence, statehood, Confederacy, and reconstruction (1869), and ending with the 1876 version. The 1876 Constitution was a reaction against the Government that operated under the Reconstruction Constitution of 1869. ... The Constitution of 1869 was no doubt better than the one that replaced it, however. Demographic: Like the other United States colonies, Texas in 1876 was a wild place with few people, about 850,000 living mainly in rural areas with the largest city being Galveston, with population of about 15,000 inhabitants. Most of west Texas was still Indian Territory and largely un-surveyed. ... In the late 1860s a coalition of whites (frequently from the north) and blacks were able to run for Texas government.
