in 1851, a texas slaveholders had come to texas and kidnapped a man he claimed as his slave. kidnapping saw this and ran to the town council to report it. mounted their horses and rode after the kidnapper and his slave and i came across the two in sort of this rural area and the slaveholder pulled out his six shooter but the town councilman drew first and the slaveholder fell dead. the fugitive slave was free. the town councilman were very disappointed not to be able to slaveholder tos justice. instead, they brought his corpse to the judge who certified he was in fact dead for not having responded when spoken to another cadaverous signs. besides that phrasing being incredibly funny, i think like many of your viewers, i had no idea that slaves were escaping to mexico in the first place, much less that mexican citizens and authorities were risking their own lives to protect them. >> are the remnants of places in mexico or texas where the slaves were prevalent, or places that you have gone to allow you to two better understand what was happening during this time? >> yeah. there

in the texas revolution. but they believed in by abolishing slavery which they did in 1837, they would be able to encourage enslaved people in texas to revolt or escape from undermining the independence of texas at the moment in most needed to prove its independence among the national community or the international community. bonus toadded abolishing slavery for mexico was that the british government was considering whether or not to recognize the independence of texas and support independence because they saw texas as a buffer against angle american expansion further west in the territories closer british possession. so the mexican government believed that by polishing slavery and creating this difference between texas slavery republican mexico, a free republic, that they would make britain come out on the side of mexico. >> have you go about researching this topic and where you go for information and what has surprised you the most as you look into this? >> that's a really great question and the archives as

you've divided texas into what you call a.m. texas and f.m. texas. explain that. >> wright: well, i think a.m. texas is what most people outside of texas think the state is. a.m. texas is, you know, rush limbaugh. >> wertheim: social conservative. care about their gun rights. >> wright: very much so. evangelicals and so on. and yet, there's a side of texas that many people don't really understand, and that's the f.m. texas, which is more urban, progressive, more like other cities in the country. >> wertheim: the big question: which frequency will have the greater signal strength on tuesday? >> wright: i think that a lot of the tea party political figures in power right now see over the horizon. and what they see is a big change coming their way. and that change is brown. and that change is young. and that change is not so conservative. that's the wave that's coming into texas. ♪ and i'm proud to be an american ♪ >> wertheim: like all the midterm races, the specter of donald trump hovers over the campaigns. in the case of cruz, his newfound cozine

i have show texas tied. beto o'roarke has 79 votes more than ted kroousz at this point. >> take a picture of that. >> 79 votes. >> that could be a moral victory for democrats if they pull that out. i think for president trump he's looking at florida, a place where he spent a lot of time. donald trump junior went into that kentucky sixth seat where barr just pulled it out. i think the republicans are feeling pretty good about their investment of time. >> i think it's early on the house side to draw too many conclusions. there are a lot of races in the east in virginia that are up for grabs right now. i think the house picture is unclear. i think some of the early senate results are disappointing for democrats. although, i don't think there was a realist expectation that democrats were going to take the senate. >> even some of the gubernatorial, florida, rick scott is in the lead in senate with 5 5,000 votes and gillum has been -- it's been -- >> florida is a disappointment. >> yeah. because it's so tight. and

but texas is changing. texas is changing. is texas changing this fast? is texas going to surprise us tonight? that would surprise even a lot of democrats. texas is changing for this reason. again, as i noted, the suburbs in america are growing. the suburbs in america are revolting against president trump. look at this vote in dallas. look at this vote in dallas. let's go back to see where this was. 66% for the democrat in dallas. 55% for a weaker democrat there. and this county, 9.4% of the population. so ted cruz had an easy race last time. ted cruz does not have an easy race this time. you watch that play out. again, there's a house district up here as well. so the beto effect, you have a close race in texas right now with the democrat at the moment leading, 50%. you also have democrats thinking this is going to help us in a couple house districts and state legislative races. we'll see how this plays out. i want to check the ballot. the governors race is not close. that's closer than democrats thought it was going to be and we'll see if that holds up.

this is not new to texas. what is new in texas, all these folks are up for re-election. but the spanish community is more energized and more organized than ever before and it's turning out. in fact, hispanics in texas have turned out by a larger margin than any other ethnic group in the state. >> oscar silva, thank you very much for joining us tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. now your insurance won't replace it outright because of depreciation. if your insurance won't replace your car, what good is it? you'd be better off just taking your money and throwing it right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with new car replacement, if your brand new car gets totaled, liberty mutual will pay the entire value plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my dbut now, i take used tometamucil every day.sh it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like. . . ♪ >>> tonight's last word goes to captain sully sullenberger who tol

to revolt or escape, undermining the independence of texas. an added bonus to abolishing slavery for mexico was that the british government was or not tog whether recognize the independence of texas and support it. the mexican government believed that by abolishing slavery and creating this difference between texas and mexico, that they would make britain come out on their side. do you am curious, how go about researching this topic? where do you go for information? what has surprised you the most? prof. baumgartner: that is a great question. can be in mexico. but they do not have very much at all. the mexican government promoted the idea that there was no real racial differences between people in mexico. cases of texasl slaveholders coming into mexico trying to kidnap their fugitive slaves. there are newspapers. legislative debates in mexico. are a number of diplomatic records in the united states, great britain, france talking aout that decision on and -- larger international stage to abolish slavery. host: if you are a slave in mexico and t

[cheers and applause] >> martha: john brennan is picking up from a former cia director. he says in this election, those who stand with trump must be defeated. there was a time where you did not stand with president trump. in fact, you did not endorse him in the last presidential election. if you win them would you endorse president trump to stand on the rnc stage and endorse on the next time around? >> martha, i've already endorse president trump and the president came to texas there we had hundred 50,000 people to sign up to do the rally. it's interesting you brought up john brennan. the head of cia under barack obama. if you look at foreign policy, we saw eight years of our friends and allies not trusting us and our enemies getting stronger and not fearing u

then central texas. then we have a series of leaders. ronald reagan and george h.w. bush. in 1980, we forget this. the new york times had 10 battleground states. texas was one of those battleground states. this was a movement that took place over a number of decades. the kind of campaign he ran and the governing that he did were enormously attractive. margaret: with two democrats. karl: he came into office and developed a close working relationship with two very tough, hard to deal with, but very smart democrat who cared about texas. when the young governor, baseball boy from dallas proved to both of them that he had the smarts, a vision and a willingness to work hard, that helped bring about a lot of positive changes that reinforced his message. >> so we had plenty of partisans back in the 90s. >> margaret: you were one of them. >> i was not. i was in the mainstream media. why wasn't this blowing up? there is something different about this period. >> one of the things that i think has always helped, it

texas said we need to do. so they came back and created a greater separation between the democratic party and the state of texas in terms of elections. that case happened in the mid-1930s and the supreme court said that is legal, that will work and you have the white primary sanctions on high from the us supreme court. the naacp went over my gosh. then there was a case called classic, usb classic. >> since 1940. >> what usb classic said, this was new, if the primary election has an impact on the general election that deals with federal stuff, comes under the 14th and 15th amendment. that opened up the space in the mid-1940s, smith versus all right, the supreme court ruled the primary is unconstitutional. they got me here. it is unconstitutional. texas wasn't done. then they have something real for you. we know how to handle this. we are going to illuminate all the election laws. there is no law on the books that could be challenged by anybody. texas says we got this. we are doing this 5 times. the terry decisi

this is out of texas. nbc news is projecting ted cruz will return to the senate from texas, and republicans will be guaranteed control of the senate as a result. >> let's go to chris hayes who is in el paso at beto o'rourke headquarters. chris hayes, we've been going back to you all night long as we've been watching this almost unbelievably close race unfold. nbc now projecting that ted cruz will be reelected. i've got to ask you about how it feels in the room and whether or not people in the room have absorbed that call. >> i don't think they have absorbed it at all to be totally honest. loud music playing. it's filled. someone earlier tonight, a texas democrat is elected, described the map in texas like being in prison. it's a tall wall and beto has done a lot to get up over that wall. it looks like he's going to fall short. i also talked to a texas source who said already it's the best night, to put this in perspective, for texas democrats in a generation. they're looking at probably ten state rep picku

he doesn't live in texas today. he was a member of the class of 1980, got his masters in government at ut-austin. is this something ted cruz has been able to make a big deal of? >> i don't think that matters. i think the endorsement that matteredwillie nelson coming out for beto o'rourke. >> how reticent is what president trump has been saying these recent days with folks in texas? the president has sent more than 10,000 troops to the border. your sense on how that's playing in texas. >> the hard core supporters, they like that. it's playing well. but there's a risk there with the few moderate republicans in texas. business-minded republicans, they want a softer approach on immigration. they understand the needs of immigrant labor in this state. you mentioned earlier the state is trending hispanic. this is still the home of george w. bush. it wasn't so long ago when republicans were talking about, you know, comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship. of course, that's not their way mao. but texans u

if the president doesn't get it then the people of texas do. so as we continue to vote during early voting which lasts through tomorrow and on the 6th of november, we'll decide the future of this country. and it will be a far more positive one. we'll live in the best traditions our values, our interests, in a way that's simply not reflected in the rhetoric from the president right now. >> that was texas democratic senate candidate beto o'rourke betting on them to reject ted cruz. his opponent ted cruz is going all in on the caravan hysteria and using it to attack his opponent. here's what he tweeted this morning. two basic questions every reporter should ask beto today. one, should the caravan be allowed to cross illegally into texas? beto refuses to answer. and, two, did your campaign dollars illegally fund their doing so. and a super pac supporting cruz is out with this ad attacking beto. >> the caravan is coming. some say criminals among them. but beto o'rourke cheering them on. welcome in. stay awhile. don't be paranoid, beto tells us. >> n

where you are in texas, we're talking about half a million people who voted in texas who have never voted in any election before. you don't see that sort of thing happen in a midterm election. you're seeing the same thing happen in georgia, in florida, in nevada, in arizona. it's really unprecedented. >> and, cornell, that to me is the big -- the reason there is so much suspense about tomorrow night and i think the range of outcomes is so wide. we don't know who those people are. we don't know what that electorate is going to look like. there's a lot of possibilities tomorrow night. >> well, half a million new voters, that doesn't happen in midterms. that's why, you know, this idea of what is a likely voter. you know, i've said this on your air. i'm a poll roadster, but i think we're going to get a lot of surprises tomorrow because what we think is a historically likely voter and we're taking account in our models, you know, that's not true. half a million new voters in texas -- you know what that means? the polling there in texas is probably not picking up all those new voters because th

and that is to not mess with texas. don't mess with texas. what do you mean? >> it is my home. i have been covering this for a while, battleground texas, where a lot of the people in liberal cities across the country have a plan to turn texas blue. it seems successful right now. this was a big turn, beto versus ted cruz. born texans ended up voting for beto. that was shocking to me because texas is known for business innovation, no state tax. people are fleeing oppressive states that don't have business friendly city. rob: you see that in california. the highest taxes, tough on business in telephone you. we have seen time and time again a lot of companies getting out. nevada has become popular. and the san francisco barrier, tough to build homes because of regulation and population growth, the houses are so expensive. >> overall the liberal policies in these states that go to a place like texas. sometimes when texas people flee those places they forget the laws that were put in place to leave the state and texans have i

we traveled every part of the state from east texas to west texas, from the panhandle to the valley. and the energy, the excitement we saw was incredible. just a couple weeks ago down in the valley, in harlingen, 2,000 people coming out. in mission, 2,000 people coming out. in el paso, 2,000 people coming out. and what was truly amazing, at many of these events, we would ask how many of you here are former democrats, and we would see hands throughout the room as we're seeing hands now, because texas came together behind a common sense agenda. low taxes, low regulations and lots and lots of jobs. securing the border and keeping our community safe, and defending the constitution and the bill of rights. and that is a common sense agenda that unites texans from every part of the state. it was your hard work, this is a victory for the single mom who has been waiting tables who suddenly sees her wages going up because the economy is booming. this is a victory for the oil field worker who sees now that the united states is the world's top producer of oil. this is a victory for all the kids

abc's tapaula faris is in texas tonight. >> reporter: tonight, it's a fight to the finish in texas, as voters decide if this deep red state will turn purple. the two senate candidates both in their 40s, one ran for president, the other could run one day. senator ted cruz and three-time congressman beto o'rourke could not be more different. overnight, we were with cruz in his final push. >> you look at the texas economy right now. the economy is booming. we've got the lowest unemployment rate in 49 years. and i think texans understand, why would we want to screw that up? >> reporter: and beto o'rourke with a new ad, traveling to all 254 counties, documenting it on his iphone. >> this our chance, texas, to lead this country. america has never been more divided, never been more polarizeorter: more pe have already voted than the total that voted in the last midterm. do you think that early voter momentum is leaning your way? >> i do. >> reporter: and with president trump focused on the images of the caravan, so is cruz. >> security is on the ballot tomorrow. >> reporter: you say you want t

is still texas. it's still a heavily republican state, and the o'rourke campaign has gotten some push back saying maybe they should have tried harder to get republican voters. maybe they should have tried harder to come after ted cruz in the middle. they are buoyed by this incredible energy. o'rourke told me, in the 22 months he's running, he has no regrets and he is not focussed on anything but this race. here's some of our interview this morning. anything you would do differently? >> no, we decided that we would run a grass roots campaign, visit every county, not accept a dime from political action committee, don't care who you voted for for president last time. doesn't matter to me who you pray to. could care less who you love, how many generations you have been here or whether you got to texas yesterday. we are together and we have the chance to do something amazing for this country we love so much. that's what this campaign has been about from day one. that's how we're finishing it on the last d

let's say heidi heitkamp wins in texas, but all the others in texas go for the democrats. they do great. and ultimately, it looks like there probably is going to be a runoff in mississippi. i'm not saying that mathematically. i'm just saying there are three people in the race. nobody looks like they're getting a 50. if the democrats win control of the house and control of the senate then depends on a mississippi recount that happens five days after thanksgiving, with a black candidate running against a republican who had to beat out the other republican in order to make it, can you imagine how insane that's going to be for the country. can you imagine the way trump is going to campaign in mississippi on a recount that is going to turn whether or not the entire congress is controlled by the opposite party? >> no. >> it's a tough one for democrats because we've got two republicans really running in that, you know. >> splitting the republican vote. >> the vote will combine in the national. >> when it comes to a race of national importance, it's down to the senate mississippi

they are of texas. they are from texas. >> reporter: already more people have cast early ballots in texas than the total number of people who voted in 2014's midterms. ted cruz believes he will be the one benefitting from that enthusiasm thanks to the booming texas economy. >> we're saying, you know, you look at that enthusiasm, that room is bursting. we're seeing that all over texas. it's very encouraging. >> win or lose, beto o'rourke tells "60 minutes" he does not plan to run for president in 2020. and join us tomorrow here on abc for all the results and analysis. coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. >>> the body of a utah mayor killed in action in afghanistan is expected to arrive at an air force base today. brent taylor who was a father of seven, was training soldiers when he was shot by one of his afghan trainees. taylor was on his fourth deployment. he is being remembered as a dedicated patriot. >> they thought they could do some good in afghanistan to help the people be liberated, to have
