| | The Sorbs or Wendish People |
 | | Source materials on the Texas Wends are to be found in the Concordia Historical Institute, St Louis, Mo., and the Texas District Archives of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod in Austin. | | | The Christianization of the Wends began prior to the German conquest, but it was vigorously promoted by the Germans. | | | The group that accompanied Kilian was interested in forming a single congregation, but the Wends who had settled earlier in Austin County did not join the settlement, and those whose occupations were suited to urban life remained in Houston. |

| | About the Wends |
| | On March 25, 1854, a new Lutheran congregation was organized at Dauban, to become the cornerstone of a large Wendish emigration. | | | Most likely, the group chose Texas as its destination because of glowing reports returned by several families of Wends who had previously settled in Central Texas. | | | Although the cholera had somewhat abated, another eighteen died at sea during the Atlantic crossing. |

| | Projekat Rastko - Luzica / Project Rastko - Lusatia |
| | 39 His section on the Wends is relatively free of bias, but he too views the violence between Germans and Wends as avoidable, reprehensible, and largely the fault of greedy Saxons. | | | Laying aside the old debate over whether the advent of Germanic Christianity elevated and instructed the pagans or whether it ruined any chance they had at forming Slavic states and preserving their cultural heritage, Kahl has shown that either interpretation does violence to the facts. | | | If only feudal greed and religious bigotry had not interfered, if only colonization had been allowed, as it had on the American frontier, to proceed "naturally," then the Germans would have moved in quietly alongside the Wends, gradually converting them to Christianity by means of gentle persuasion. |

| | The Conversion and Destruction of the Wends |
| | When the Christians were ruled by lesser leaders, the Wends were able to regain their independence. | | | Helmhold, too, "liberty," even having the Wends themselves say that their liberty was the reason for their rebellion. | | | There is no doubt that the tribe was the strongest political unit of the Wends, inhibiting the formation of hereditary kingship that characterized the political history of other Slav peoples. |

| | These were a coherent Lutheran congregation led by Pastor Johann Kilian, the survivors of a disastrous sea journey, which had claimed the lives of more than a tenth of their number. | | | Today some of the several thousands of individuals claiming Wendish descent are engaged in reviving memories of their heritage. | | | For one thing, after the Reformation, many Wends became Protestants. |

| | The Wends (580-1218 AD) (DBA III-1a) |
| | It is said that Harald Bluetooth taught the Wends to be sea raiders in order to annoy his foes, and if so, he was certainly effective, since they took to Baltic piracy with a vengeance. | | | As a historical aside, although christianized and long subjected to German rule, the Wends have been able to maintain a distinct identity and language as Sorbs to the present day. | | | Here a famous brotherhood of Vikings (i.e., the Joms-Vikings) founded by Harald's son, Svein Forkbeard, is supposed to have collected, fighting with the Wends against foreign invaders on land and sea. |

| | Sarmatian Review XV.2: Wilson |
| | Pastor Johann (Jan) Kilian, the leader of the Texas Wends, was a Wendish patriot but considered himself 'just as much a German as a Wend', as he once wrote. | | | In Texas, the descendants of these people have always called themselves Wends,' if not simply 'Germans,' and the rather artificial new term 'Sorbs' is unknown among them. | | | Only after the transition to German had been completed, did English begin to make any kind of impression on the group. |

| | The decisive victories which Otto I. gained over the Wends, gave him an opportunity to attempt, on a large scale, the establishment of the Christian church among them. | | | Hence their fury against Christianity which, time after time, broke forth, volcano-like, and completely destroyed the work of the missionaries. | | | He had become a Christian himself; but, indignant at the suppression which was practiced in the name of the Christian religion, he returned to heathenism, assembled the tribes at Rethre, one of the chief centres of Wendish heathendom, and began, in 983, a war which spread devastation all over Northern Germany. |
