Where is the American Kickball Hall Of Fame in Corpus Christi Texas located?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As of my last update, there is no official American Kickball Hall of Fame located in Corpus Christi, Texas, or anywhere else. While kickball is a popular recreational activity and there may be local organizations or leagues that celebrate the sport, there isn't a nationally recognized hall of fame specifically dedicated to kickball. If such an institution has been established since my last update, I wouldn't have information on its location. You might want to search online or check with local sports organizations in Corpus Christi for any relevant updates.

Why was steven f Austin arrested in 1833?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After Texas wrote what they wanted from Mexico, Stephen F. Austin took the message to Santa Anna. It said:

Texas wanted immigration from America again

Texas wanted separation from Cohuila

Texas wanted to bring in new slaves

ect. (sorry I forgot the rest)

Anyways, SFA was tired of waiting for Santa Anna's response (it had been a while) so he wrote a letter to the Texas settlers saying that Texas could be separated from Cohuila and to get all the things needed for separate statehood WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Finally, Santa Anna approved all BUT separation from Cohuila.

On the way home, SFA was arrested for treason.

Mexico had found his letter and knew they had not athorized separation from Cohuila and had SFA thrown in jail.

Hope this helps, I'm not good at explaining things!
