Texas History

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.

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.

The history of Texas intrigues people the world over. The short lived nation has become perhaps the most well known nation in history.

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.

400 pages of letters, articles, and speeches given on the subject of the Annexation of Texas. Unusual collection of old rare writings.

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.

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.
