[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by carpenter matt Capt, If I recall from the history channel, Texas was it's own country for 10 to 15 yrs (not sure of the exact) before it asked for statehood. The Texas state Flag was also the same as the country. [:D] and I'm from Ohio and new that[:p] [/quote] Yes, Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836 and remained a free nation until it was annexed by the United States in 1846, a move that sparked the Mexican American War. The Texas Flag, as it was an nation, is one of the few flags that can fly at the same level as the US National standard. Many a Native American (Indian) Treaty between the USA and the Tribes was broken because Texan weren't considered to be Americans. This is the case of Northern Texas. It is in international affairs, such as on these forums, that I have to choose to be American or Texan. Those of you of England et al and Australia, what do you consider to have more standing, "American" or "Texan."
