How did Texas get it independence?

Answer 1

Texas was it's own nation from the years of 1836 to 1845. After the battle of the Alamo, the Texan army continued to fight for their independence under the motto, "remember the Alamo" and after capturing Santa Ana, signed a treaty, giving them independence from Mexico in 1836. Thus, the Republic of Texas was created. Because Texas was once it's own nation, and asked to become a part of the United States (which at the time was a nation worthy of joining) Texas now holds the right to secede from America, and once again become the Republic of Texas. Texans still hold true to the movement of secession.

Texas was named so because of the nickname given to the Creole people of the northeast Texas area "tejas" meaning "friendship," because of the area's friendly hospitality. Along with "The Lone Star State," Texas also holds the nickname, "The Friendship State."

Answer 2

The Texians (no, this is not a spelling error), who had been invited & encouraged to settle Texas' vast & mostly unpopulated lands by the Mexican government, joined with with native Hispanic Tejano populations in open rebellion against Mexico after having personal/civil rights revoked & atrocities committed upon them by the Mexican government.

After several battles (most famous being the battle of the Alamo in San Antonio), an insidious massacre of Texian POW's at Goliad by the Mexican Army, General Sam Houston attacked & routed Generalissimo Antonio de Santa Ana at the Battle of San Jacinto (outside of present-day city of Houston) - a battle that lasted only 20 minutes yet decimated the Mexican Army, saw Santa Ana captured, and consequently ended the War for Texas Independence.
