How did the Texas Rangers brutalize and kill Mexican Tejanas/os in order to push them off their land? What different methods did they use? How did they get the assistance of people who were not Texas Rangers? 2. How did the character El Rinche empower Mexican Tejanas/os to resist the Texas Rangers? Why did Mexican Tejanas/os create a legend and a corrido (song) about El Rinche? 3.
