Texas Another World

The following is the case of and for the people of the Republic of Texas. While referred to as a court case - it is a political question, since no government court or international court has jurisdiction to rule on the facts or its merits. The United States House of Representatives has refused to bring this political question to the floor of the House for over 140 years.
It is very curious that much of the history of the United States in the Forties and Fifties of the last century has vanished from the general memory.
As my readers will eventually discover, many daring deeds did we perform together, and many pleasant days did we pass, both in the northern cities of Mexico and western prairies of Texas, hunting with the Comanches, and occasionally unmasking some rascally Texans, who, under the paint of an Indian, would commit their murders and depredations upon the remote settlements of their own countrymen.
General Custer was given scant time, after the last gun of the war was fired, to realize the blessings of peace. While others hastened to discard the well-worn uniforms, and don again the dress of civilians, hurrying to the cars, and groaning over the slowness of the fast-flying trains that bore them to their homes, my husband was almost breathlessly preparing for a long journey to Texas.
This book has been purposely given a sub-title, in order that the peculiar position of the Indian, in 1861, may be brought out in strong relief. He was enough inside the American Union to have something to say about secession and enough outside of it to be approached diplomatically. It is well to note, indeed, that Albert Pike negotiated the several Indian treaties that bound the Indian nations in an alliance with the seceded states, under the authority of the Confederate State Department
The history of Texas intrigues people the world over. The short lived nation has become perhaps the most well known nation in history.
Being s student of history, and in particular to those relating to Texas and the southern states, I have to admit I'd never heard George Washington's views being taken as prophetic regarding the legal right of the South to secede and form a more perfect union. A very interesting read and collection of facts surrounding the disputes between the Northern hypocrite Republicans and the Southern factions wanting a preservation of the Constitutional rights of the states.
Most patriot researchers and historians have read and studied the prophecies that concern the United States, but few realize that similar prophecies were written about the Confederate States of America. These are good to read and analyze because they set Christian prophecies to a lower value of relevance, since many were proven false.
What did Texas forefathers think about secession? Here are two speeches: one of pro-secession and one of anti-secession.
400 pages of letters, articles, and speeches given on the subject of the Annexation of Texas. Unusual collection of old rare writings.
Slavery is the first thing people point to when talking about the War of Northern Tyranny against the South. While slavery was one of the causes, the move to secession was due to a multitude of unconstitutional acts of the US against the South.
The Annexation of Texas was one of the most hotly debated issues in the US in the 1840s. It was illegal since it violated treaties with the Republic of Mexico, it set the North against the South since the Mason-Dixon line compromise made it automatically a slave state, nor did the US government did not have the constitutional authority of annexation. The annexation efforts failed, the treaty failed the US senate. Only by political subversion was Texas admitted to the Union.
An exhaustive legal challenge to the legality of secession to the federalist tyrants and constitutional traitors of Washington D.C.
Sam Houston, the Revolutionary Hero of Texas, a rabble-rouser, a frontiersman, a politician, lawyer, statesman, anti-slavery, peace-maker, warrior, governor, senator, president, Freemason, lover, dueler, and more... Even George Washington pales in comparison to this Texian Hero.
History ignores the FACT that the Southern states were legally and constitutionally in the right. Though slavery was morally wrong, the North and the Republican party had legal avenues to change the constitution, but instead chose war. The fascist boot of the Republican Party remains a milestone around the neck of freedom.
