According to TEA standards, students who have completed 7th grade history should be able to talk about the eras in Texas history. Which of the following is NOT one of these eras?

The era of "Industrialization in Texas" is not one of the recognized historical eras in the Texas education curriculum for students who have completed 7th grade history. According to TEA standards, the eras commonly covered include "Early Statehood," "Cotton, Cattle, and Railroads," and "The Age of Oil," each representing significant periods in Texas history with distinct economic, social, and political developments.

"Early Statehood" covers the time following Texas's admission to the Union in 1845, addressing themes like governance, societal growth, and challenges faced by early inhabitants. "Cotton, Cattle, and Railroads" reflects the economic boom that occurred during the late 19th century, highlighting agriculture and the development of transportation, which was crucial for Texas’s growth. "The Age of Oil" focuses on the discovery of oil in Texas and its profound impact on the economy and society in the 20th century, marking a transformational period for the state.

While industrialization is a significant theme in American history, including Texas's development, it does not represent a specific era outlined in the TEA's historical framework for this grade level. Instead, it can be seen as a broader theme that intersects with other specific eras
