Texas Independence Day

Texas Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. This event marked Texas’ independence from Mexico. Sixty delegates from all over Texas signed the declaration. Its language in many ways parallels the 1776 Declaration of Independence of the United States, which is observed on Independence Day, also known as “the fourth of July”.

The Republic of Texas was annexed to the US by joint resolution of the US Congress nine years after the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. The US Congress then admitted Texas as a constituent state of the Union on December 29, 1845. Texas Independence Day is an official holiday in Texas. Sam Houston Day is also observed on March 2, marking the birthday of the man who led the Texans to victory over Mexican troops at the battle of San Jacinto.

Is it true that Texas can split itself into (I think, 3 or 4 more) additional states?

Texas is the only state that can legally secede from the Union being it is the only state that was its own independent county when it entered into the United States of America and chose to join the Union of its own free will.

The odds of secession are virtually zero; even if we don’t like the way things are going right now up there in D.C. we are still Americans.

As for Texas splitting into multipliable states; I don’t think so, us Texans tend to stick together.

God Bless Texas

Both Texas & California were independent republics prior to becoming states. The lone star on the California state flag represents this.

Well, if Texas can leave if they want, and CA was also admitted under the same circumstances then CA could also leave.

Does it work both ways? Does that mean we could kick CA out? Think of the possibilities.

Might be good for California - after all, it's the 8th largest economy in the world! It tends to subsidize the rest of the states.

I think you're on to something!

Thanks for the post/thread. As a displaced Texan living in NY now, it's nice to celebrate Texas Independence Day with my friends!
