The Plan of San Diego, a rebellion proposed in 1915 to overthrow
the U.S. government in the Southwest and establish a Hispanic
republic in its stead, remains one of the most tantalizing
documents of the Mexican Revolution. The plan called for an
insurrection of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and African Americans
in support of the Mexican Revolution and the waging of a genocidal
war against Anglos. The resulting violence approached a race war
and has usually been portrayed as a Hispanic struggle for
liberation brutally crushed by the Texas Rangers, among others. The
Plan de San Diego: Tejano Rebellion, Mexican Intrigue, based on
newly available archival documents, is a revisionist interpretation
focusing on both south Texas and Mexico. Charles H. Harris III and
Louis R. Sadler argue convincingly that the insurrection in Texas
was made possible by support from Mexico when it suited the regime
of President Venustiano Carranza, who co-opted and manipulated the
plan and its supporters for his own political and diplomatic
purposes in support of the Mexican Revolution. The study examines
the papers of Augustine Garza, a leading promoter of the plan, as
well as recently released and hitherto unexamined archival material
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation documenting the day-to-day
events of the conflict.
