Texas was never a territory of the US, before it was a state Texas was a country called The Republic of Texas, it had its own army and navy as well as its own president.
Texas was originally part of Mexico. I believe Texas wanted to be its own country. The US claimed Texas after the war between the US and Mexico.
the Texas flag because it has been its own country
Texas was it's own country from 1836 to 1845. The Army of the Texas Republic was the Army of Texas; or the Texas Army; until obtaining statehood in 1845. The California Republic was it's own country for about 3 weeks, before the US Army took it over, in 1846. US military governors controlled California until statehood in 1850.
The Republic of Texas
In the US, they are headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
Texas.
The US does not own any countries, The US itself is a country. A country can't own another country.
Texas
No one. Texas was a country and vote to enter the Nikon.
annexed and according to an 1836 treaty, its borders stretched to the Rio grande but was disputed by Mexico and then after a 2 year war the US paid money to Mexico for it. (18 million and change).
Mexico... Whomever posted the above statement is dumb. Texas was a it's own country for nearly eight years. Originally, the French and Spanish settled the region. America bought the Louisiana purchase and Mexico fought for independence from Spain, gaining Texas. Texas settlers were in conflict with Mexican governance and fought for independence. The Republic of Texas then submitted to US Senate for Annexation.
