About a burning fire.
Texas history is the best history of the post-13 colonies states. Why, you ask?
Well, we fought a war to be independent. Then, we were smart and realized that as a small country we couldn't do much- but if we applied for statehood we could be much more prosperous in the United States than we ever could be on our own.
Not to sound arrogant- wait, yes. We have earned the right to be arrogant. Too fucking bad for you.
Some might argue that we fought Mexico- which is obviously, at it's current state, no where near being a "world" power. However, back then, Mexico had a pretty well trained, in use army- they had just crushed a rebellion in a neighboring state. This was just another rebellion to them, and they were ready for it. So while Mexico has never been a drastically powerful nation, they were still no pussies- they could handle themselves quite well.
Along with this, most of the world that has been taught of the Texan Revolution has been giving a pretty pro-white view- in actuality, there were many tejanos in the rag-tag Texan army- they were fighting for what they believed in, but instead of it being portrayed as a war of white people fighting for independence against the Mexican tyrants- right, whatever. o.o; In reality, the Texan army comprised of even some Europeans- settlers who had come to America, and then heard of the cheap land prices in Texas that Mexico was offering. So, it was not a racial thing at all.
The Texas Revolution gave Texas land that would later be apart of 4-5 other states- it also lead to the Mexican War, which gave the United States New Mexico, Utah and California.
Also, we kicked butt- don't forget that. Estimates for most of the battle are highly in the Texans favor- no one will know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that it was no where near a good ratio for the Mexicans.
So, my friends- Texas rocks. Smartest nation that ever existed- realized the benefits of joining a larger country, instead of insisting on a foolish idea of independence that many countries are racked with- separatists seem to think becoming their own third world country is cool. Russia is a prime example of this- all those tiny, insignificant countries could gain so much by being apart of a larger superpower.
But no- nationalism and separatism is the most idiotic ideal to ever wash over the world. But, no one will listen to what I say- the Texans were smart, is all.
Oh well. If you really want to learn about the Texan Revolution, there should be plenty of sources- even a few online ones. It is prolly something non-Texans wouldn't care about, because they are FUCKING IDIOTS.
That is all.
