Summary/Abstract: It has generally been accepted that the attempt of the French Fourierists to set up a colony in Texas on the eve of the Civil War was a complete failure. But was that really the case? A reexamination of the colony’s legacy will show that it was more complex and far-reaching than previously thought.
