I can’t believe I forgot, but Happy Indepedence Day Texas!
“Independence is declared; it must be maintained.”
-Sam Houston – March 2, 1836
Texas became the Republic of Texas when Texans declared their independence from Mexico on March 2, 1836.
The day before 54 delegates met in the village of Washington-on-the-Brazos. The Texans of the Convention of 1836 wrote and adopted the Texas Declaration of Independence literally overnight.
“Life was never the same again, and America’s Lesser 49 are the better for it.” – Dallasblog.com
