nope.

dress it up however you like, it's simply texas 'exceptionalism' and a load of horse shit.

all hat, no cattle, all slavery, no liberty. you guys wanted and fought, TWICE, for a slavery republic.

look at the fucking constitutions bud. what kind of shithole mandates the bondage of people to the point where EVEN THE FUCKIN SLAVE OWNERS COULDN'T EMANCIPATE THEIR 'PROPERTY'?

think about that racist bullshit and stop trying to make it all about the big bad santa ana, there was plenty of evil in texas to go around
