Texas was never part of Mexico.
Mexico City was for a very short period of time part of Texas.

Unless you prefer Santa Ana's version. :-)

That was sarcasm? Sounded more like a high school history mistake.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least that you need to believe that 30,000 americans and 7,5oo mexicans living in Texas at the time accepted a self-imposed mexican general and dictatorial el prseidentay's treaty with Spain way far away in Mexico City applied to them.
If you want to belive only what is printed in a high school ( Even Texan) text book somewher you are more than welcome to.
After all, text books don't lie.
Accepted history is the only one that counts.
simple pimple, easy peasy.

So in your mind the Mexican Constitution of 1824, which made Coahuila y Texas a northern state of Mexico, and the Texas Revolution of 1836, when Texas won independence from Mexico, never happened?

I've always wanted to go where they filmed True Grit. The John Wayne version.

You could go there. Info on both films here: http://jerrygarrett.wordpress.com/2010/1...it-filmed/

Ouray is an especially scenic little town. I fell in love with it when I first visited in the mid 80s. I never tire of visiting it either.

More than half the people then couldn't even read.


Hint: If you "prefer Santa Anna's version" you prefer the American accepted historical version.
Take your pick.

If you want to spend the rest of the day arguing that someone holding a red rasberry is holding a red rasberry you are more than welcome to.

Colorado. I live in Illinois where it is flat, flat, flat. Colorado looks beautiful.
