How does Bent's Fort illustrate the issues of a frontier of inclusion, while the American settlement of Texas was more typical of a frontier of exclusion?

- Texas: self-contained enclaves that had little contact with Tejanos or Indians; never bothered to learn Spanish; settlers broke Austin's promises to become Mexican citizens and adopt Catholicism; as immigrants to another country, they did not intend to adapt to Mexican society
