Excerpt from The United States and Mexico, 1835-1837 In the United States, on the other hand, popular enthusiasm for the Texan cause was spontaneous and fairly general. Be fore the end of November, 1835, meetings were held at various places in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. With the prog' ress of the Texan commissioners up the mississippi-ohio val ley in the spring of 1836 and the reports of Mexican barbarity at the Alamo and Goliad, interest still further quickened and extended to the great cities of the East - Washington, Balti more, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.8 The procedure of these meetings was everywhere the same. They assembled in response to a public notice in the local papers, adopted resolutions of sympathy, opened a list for volunteers, and appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions. Funds not consumed in equipping and transporting the volunteers usually found their way to the Texans in the form of munitions and supplies.
