HISTORY TLDR VERSION LOL

TEXAS CAN TRACE HIS HISTORY BACK SOME 11,000 YEARS, WHEN HE WAS A WEE COWPOKE HUNTING MAMMOTHS. HE DOESN'T REALLY REMEMBER MUCH OF THESE DAYS, BUT HE LOOKS BACK ON HIS CHILDHOOD FONDLY.

SOME FRENCH GUYS WERE POKING AROUND TEXAS PLACE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AROUND THE MID-LATE 1680S, BUT SOME INDIANS PRETTY MUCH DECIMATED THEIR LITTLE SETTLEMENT. LATER ON, THE FRENCH WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH DRIVEN FROM TEXAS'S LAND WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A SHOT BEING FIRED, AND SO BEGAN A LONG TRADITION OF TEX MAKING FUN OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. THIS CAUGHT SOME ATTENTION FROM TEX'S NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH, MEXICO, WHO WAS, AT THE TIME, UNDER THE CONTROL OF SPAIN.

SOME MISSIONS WERE SET UP IN TEXAS, BUT IT WOULD BE LATER UNTIL SOME SERIOUS COLONIZATION EFFORTS TOOK PLACE, OR MET WITH MUCH SUCCESS, AROUND 1720, IN TEXAS'S ADOLESCENCE WHICH SOME OF THE OTHER STATES WOULD CONSIDER A SCARY THING TO SEE, HAD THEY SEEN IT. SOME PROVINCES OF SPAIN SAID, HEY, LET'S SETTLE HERE! THEY ESTABLISHED MISSIONS AND THEN THOROUGHLY MISTREATED TEXAS: THEY DISCOURAGED PEOPLE FROM VISITING HIM AND NATIVE AMERICANS STARTED TO ATTACK HIM MORE OFTEN. HOWEVER, THE PROVINCES OF SPAIN WORKED OUT A TREATY WITH A COMANCHE TRIBE, AND THEY HELPED WITH THE PROBLEM OF NATIVE AMERICAN ATTACKS. AS A RESULT OF THIS, MORE MISSIONS WERE ESTABLISHED, THOUGH THEY WERE BUILT ON COMANCHE LAND. WHEN THE SPANISH PROVINCES COULDN'T PAY THE RENT, TEXAS SUFFERED RAIDS. THIS FINALLY CHANGED THE COLLECTIVE MINDS OF THE SPANISH, AND THEY STARTED TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO SEE TEXAS AND LIVE THERE, TO HELP DISCOURAGE ATTACKS AND RAIDS.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE IN 1819 SET TEXAS'S EASTERN BOUNDARY AT THE SABINE RIVER. IT'S HIS SECOND FAVORITE RIVER, AFTER THE RIO GRANDE.

IN 1821, AFTER THE WAR OF MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE, TEXAS WAS ROPED INTO BEING PART OF THE NEW COUNTRY. HOWEVER, A LOT OF THINGS MEXICO DID TICKED TEXAS RIGHT OFF INCLUDING MEXICO NOT LETTING ANYONE FROM THE UNITED STATES COME TO TEXAS, SO HE HAD HIMSELF A REVOLUTION. AFTER THREE MONTHS OF FIGHTING, HE DEFEATED MEXICO, AND DECLARED HIMSELF INDEPENDENT ON MARCH 2, 1836. HE WAS SO DAMN PROUD OF HIMSELF. ; 3; THAT WAS THE DAY HE BECAME A MAN, IN HIS EYES.

MEXICO ATTACKED TEXAS AGAIN LATER IN 1836, BUT LIKE HELL WOULD HE STAND FOR THAT SHIT. TEXAS KICKED HIS ASS AND SENT HIM PACKING, FORCING HIM TO SIGN A TREATY ALONG THE WAY. HOWEVER, MEXICO WOULD WHINE THAT HE SIGNED UNDER DURESS AND WOULD CONTINUE TO ATTACK TEXAS. TEXAS, HOWEVER, WOULD ALWAYS JUST KICK HIS ASS OUT OF HIS TERRITORY.

AND THEN, IN 1846, TEXAS WAS ANNEXED INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA~ IT TOOK A TON OF POLITICAL FINAGLING, BUT HE WAS IN, AND AS PART OF IT, THE UNITED STATES ASSUMED THE HUGE DEBT HE HAD AMASSED FROM DRINKING SMOKING POKER FIGHTING SO MUCH.

ALSO AS PART OF THIS DEAL, TEXAS'S TERRITORY WAS SHRUNK SLIGHTLY, TO THE LAND WE KNOW TODAY, AND THE REST WENT TO TO HELP CREATE NEW MEXICO, OKLAHOMA, COLORADO, KANSAS AND WYOMING. HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE FOR THIS. IN FACT, HE SEES THEM AS SOMETHING RESEMBLING HIS YOUNGER SIBLINGS.

YEY TEXAS~

HELLOOOOOO CURRENT EVENTS!

GOVERNOR RICK PERRY HAS BEEN TOSSING AROUND TALK OF SECEDING.

IT MAKES TEXAS DO HIS "WHAT THE CHRIST" FACE.
