Describe the history of political parties in texas?

If we can say something about the history of political parties in Texas, it is that the Democratic party had a leading role in it if we don't take into account the Recontruction time in Texas

Explanation: the Reconstruction can be described as follows: for nine years following the Civil War, Texas was in turmoil, as its people attempted to solve political, social, and economic problems produced by the war. One of the major forces that threatened change in the state was the United States Army. Federal troops began entering the state in late May 1865. Their commanders believed that their duty, at least in part, was to ensure loyal government and to protect the rights of the blacks who were free as a result of the war. Except for an interlude during Reconstruction, the Democratic party was the leading political party in Texas until the 1960s. In the nineteenth century, however, the Whig, American (Know-Nothing), Republican, Greenback, and People's partiesqv provided at different times a formidable opposition, so that Texas did not become a real one-party state until after 1900, when the Republican party sank into insignificance and minor parties largely disappeared.
