What year did Texas become its own nation?

Texas was it's own nation from the years of 1836 to 1835. 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."

The Republic of Texas was lead first by their president, the honorable, Sam Houston (of which the city of Houston is named after, as well as Sam Houston State University).

Texas has been a great addition to the United States, ever since those days. Under the direction of Rick Perry Texas has created more jobs than any other state, and now has more fortune 500 companies than any other state. As well as being a leader in oil, agriculture, and forestry.

What years did Texas join the union?

Texas joined the Union in 1845. Here is some history about the circumstances under which it was admitted:

Mexico gained independence from Spain in the 1820s and began to accept foreign settlers into the region that is today Texas. Stephan Austin led a group of Americans into the region and the Americans quickly grew to outnumber the locals. In the 1830s, the Mexican government began to try to regulate these American communities, leading to rebellion. In March 1836, Texas declared its independence, yet Texans were initially quelled by Mexican forces, notably during the fall of the Alamo. Ultimately, Texas won and decided to seek entrance into the Union. Their entrance was delayed by Congress because Texas would most likely join as a slave state. In 1844, Congress officialled annexed Texas and Texas entered the Union six months later, in 1845, as a slave state. This deepened the issues of slavery in the United States and sparked the Mexican-American War.

Which dental school in Houston Texas offer cheap dental work?

  • The state of Texas has great dental coverage for the people who live in Houston. Dental Coverage is very important to have because you never know when you will have a dental emergency. Make sure you are covered get dental coverage that is right for you. Affordable coverage is the key.
  • One of the oldest charity clinics in the United States, San José Clinic has provided healthcare to the uninsured since 1922. It is the only full-time clinic in the Greater Houston area dedicated exclusively to serving the uninsured.More than 1.1 million--one in every three--persons in the Houston/Harris County area lack health insurance. The demand for low-cost care in this area is consistently greater than available community resources. Primary healthcare for the uninsured is grossly inadequate, and specialty care is almost non-existent. Because of the Clinic's extensive corps of volunteers and teaching affiliations, patients are able to access specialty services in addition to primary healthcare.

A bit more:

Dental schools often offer extremely low prices on all sorts of dental services. The dental interns work pretty much as M.D. interns do, working under the supervision of experienced doctors to obtain experience, while at the same time providing quality care for patients. Dental colleges offer the same quality of services, just not in hospitals where M.D. interns do their residency.

So I would advise you to check with local dental colleges to see what kind of services they offer. You just may be pleasantly surprised.

Why did it take congress 9 years to annex Texas?

There are two main reasons:

First, Mexico was a sovereign nation and to help Texas, especially before it had won the rebellion, would be to encroach upon Mexico's sovereignty.

Second, Texas would most likely enter the Union as a slave state. By the 1840s, it was obvious to many policymakers that slavery was becoming a decisive issue. In fact, for most of the nineteenth century there was a gag rule in Congress against the issue. Consequently, Congress was delayed in officially annexing and admitted Texas.
