Texans ignore they lost the war with Mexico so hard they’d be part of Mexico again/still if they didn’t beg to become a state

what are you talking about, they won the war & were independent the better part of a decade before joining the US. it was a lucky break that they captured Santa Anna and they probably would have lost without that, but they did.

    Yeah I am really confused by this. Part of the fucked up nature of the Mexican-American war was that the US had agreed NOT to annex Texas. Direct fighting had ended but the Republic of Texas has to remain out of US hands.
