The Comanche maintain an ambiguous relationship with…
1845 CE
The Comanche have been valued as trading partners since 1786 via the Comancheros of New Mexico, but are feared for their raids against settlers in Texas.
Similarly, they are, at one time or another, at war with virtually every other native group living on the South Plains, leaving opportunities for political maneuvering by European colonial powers and the United States.
At one point, Sam Houston, president of the newly created Republic of Texas, almost succeeded in reaching a peace treaty with the Comanche in the 1844 Treaty of Tehuacana Creek.
His efforts are thwarted in 1845 when the Texas legislature refuses to create an official boundary between Texas and the Comancheria.
