What was the year the republic of Texas began?
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).
