I agree that there was a distinct push toward real independence (which would have been interesting!) but there were political forces in place from the beginning that pretty much ensured that Texas was going to join the Union once they declared independence. ;)

[edit] I agree Forty ;) The nine year experiment is an interesting one. All I'm saying is that there were just too many resources (natural and political) that Texas had to offer the Union. The US had its eye on Texas from the beginning, there was no way that Texas wasn't going to become a part of the US.

I'm sure there were those that felt it should have become a state right away, but you can't ignore the French Embassy that graces Austin or the fact that we had elected Presidents. Or the fact that it took almost ten years for Texas to become a state. Had the direct intention been to become a state at all, I don't think they would have gone through all that trouble.

Nice back pedalling

Bah, would a moderator ban and remove any posts by Lost? These pop ups seem to be related to him.

He had some no-no stuff in his sig which has been removed. If he puts it back, he shall be removed.

"The Last Supper"

I think this is the one you are referring to.
