He say that "we all remember the Alamo"; but, he leaves out the fact that we *also* remember San Jacinto! It *still* holds the world record for most lopsided victory of an outnumbered force over a larger one! It was the battle that actually won the Texas Revolution!
Ha Ha Ha Cartels General San Ana after the Battle of San Jacinto tryed to hide his escape by dressing up as a Nun !!!!!!!!!
18 minutes, Sam Houston wasn't messing around. Santa Anna effed around and found out.
And. submitted Texas as it's own state. For 9 years. After that, it joined the Confederacy.
I am a Texan and so ready for it. I'm sick of corrupt federal government.
Same here, I’m a 5th generation Texan and the Union is nothing more than a toxic marriage. All it does is mooch off of hard working Texans just trying to make a living. I’ve been praying for a long time that we drop the Union like a bad habit
We are all ready for you to go.
be careful what you wish for...
It won’t happen
TEXIT
I'm from Texas as well and I find it funny that other Americans think that Texas is just a giant desert
*laughs in Arizona*
Have lived there, it mostly is.
As an texas it is very desserted in nost areas on texas. We barely got no snow for years
Most of it is.
Ever been to El Paso headed east?
An independent Texas is so strong economically, it could easily become a North American Singapore. Also, recent events clearly show that Texas has a LOT of allies in other states. If Texit happened today, it would be a tremendous success.
Yeah, no it won't. Take away Senior Citizen's access to Social Security and see how many people are going to be flocking back. I am an El Pasoan and I do not want to be living in a Third World Country thank you very much. I love my home city of El Paso thank you very much that I was born and grew up in. I used to say the same thing about Texas until they lost their minds thinking we could secede and not suffer for it. The GOP are idiots especially after that freeze that we can be so independent from even though we are not on the National Electric Grid. I am so glad that even though we are part of Texas, our city actually had the common sense to be on the grid. Until I see Texas have more common sense, I will not support anything the GOP throws out.
"only beat by the very large california"
precedes to show north carolina
Good catch.
Yea i chuckled when i saw that lol 😂
Saw that too😂
Glad I wasn’t the only one
Lol
Anyone notice at 7:00 they mentioned California having more people but showed a picture of North Carolina. And they even put the NC flag on it.
Sameeeeeeee
Plot twist: NC is actually CA!
Yeah, I noticed that too.
California native, was stationed throughout the south, really was nice to be at home where I didn't need to deal with squadrons of mosquitoes or voracious chiggers if I ventured off the beaten path. Summers free of the weight of a constant pall of crushing humidity. As Poe's raven said, "Never more."
North California so much better than South California lol
I am Virginian and I would volunteer to help texas get away from this controlling devil.
I’m a New Yorker and I bet if any state can pull this off, It’d be Texas.
Fellow NY'er here. From conservative Upstate. If Texas did this today, tomorrow I would be a Texan.
If Texas were to succeed with secession It’s a normal assumption other states would want to leave with it like Florida to Oklahoma
All the original Confederate states would come back together.
What a based AF country that would be.
It’s funny you think that
What about states like mine who are too far north but align with Texas ? You expect people to just up an move for a political war? Y’all are batshit crazy.
@@i.l6916 it’s not that deep🗿
@@PrimeTexans How can you think that with a topic like this?
Actually, this is a nuanced analysis of what an independent Republic of Texas could look like. I have seen other opinions circulate the internet saying that Texas would succeed or fail, so I really appreciate this analysis.
I mean, that's obviously the only two options 🤦♂️🤦♂️ failing or succeeding
@@fernandocabrera6707 nah there is surviving where it doesn't do well but it still exists as a nation.
Data analysis with blatant left wing opinions mixed in.
I believe oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, likely NM, and possibly CO would all go with Texas.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and others would likely join as well.
All the major cities and then some would succeed from the state it's already been said besides whites are a minority now in Tejas.
Texas wouldn’t have the huge bureaucracy restricting oil production!
I don’t know the details but a college teacher told me one time that Texas did not join the US under the same pretense’s as other states did. They are free to become there own country anytime they want to
Fun fact: The six flags Texas has been under is where the amusement park ‘Six Flags’ gets its name from
Imagine needing a passport to enter or leave Texas. 😂
You should have a passport anyway. They're good for 10 years and it's not difficult to get.
@@CatWith-AHat You don't always need a passport to cross a national border
ONLY if you are from communist blue states such as commiefornia, the north west or the north east.
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and other southern states? Yall are free to enter.
Mexico and other countries? Mideast. Afrikan. Better have papers, language skills, DESIREABLE job skills and be vetted to the Nth degree.
Short of that, you get a visitor visa...and an ankle monitor. If too many of those go dark, you don't even get that...and those who lost the monitors will be sent home.
Feet first or head first.
We're not freaking commiefornia.

I live in Texas and stereotypes are so funny yet so annoying at the same time (cowboys, desert, saloons, tattoos, sheriffs, the Wild West in general)
How do the spot the guy from out of state? He's wearing a cowboy hat.
@@HeathInClearLake okay sure but let's not pretend Texas isn't the cowboy hat capital of the world
When I here Texas I usually assume racism, Confederacy and slaves
*sips coffee while listening to grunge in Seattle & laughs*
@@HeathInClearLake i wear a cowboy hat and i am born and raised here
To be fair if like 80-90% of the population in any state genuinely wanted to be independent from the U.S.A. I don't know if there's anything the U.S.A could do to enforce it's ban on secession without violently occupying the place. Which would not exactly be democratic or popular amongst that state's residences. I feel like if THAT many of the people wanted to secede then the feds might have no choice but to do the democratic thing and let them do so.
Plus when you factor in the fact that large numbers of the military are from Texas, expecting them to take up arms against Texas will be problematic.
If this video was slanted anymore to the left, it would slide right off my screen.
I saw it to. To all: must be very discerning when you listen blindly.
I would like to see "What Would an Republic of Cascadia Look Like?". I wouldn't mind seeing that.
Too many ROC’s
Could you please rephrase that sentance and use grammer?
Just play Project Wingman
That should give you a pretty good picture 😊
In a lot of ways, it would be like Texas. A lot of agricultural land, a massive tech sector. not to mention the large oil reserves off the coast. The only difference is it would be a lot more left leaning, have a larger population and less guns.
@@DBurpees1 basically it would be a North American version of the Netherlands.
Currency isn't an issue with Texas
Honestly. It had what was known as the Texas redback dollar when it was its own independent country. It could be renamed but most likely that style of dollar or even the entire makeup could be reused or reissued. Born and raised and still live in Texas personally and I had a great uncle (he died when I was 6 and was 101 at the time of his death he also the last of his generation in the family) had actual real Texas dollars from that time in his possession too. He got them from his grandfather before he passed as a kid and when he passed his kids got them. Where they are now don't know but they were cool looking.
The currency literally failed what to you mean
As President of the new Republic (which is actually still the old Republic, if you understand the nature of the makeup of the USA) - the first thing I would do is put Harriet Tubman on the new $20 bill -- a gun-toting Republican Christian woman!
Yes,Yes do it. Stay strong Texas👍❤️
I think if texas would secede, other states with similar cultures and politics would follow. In a scenario like this, texas leaving the union would also cause every other red state leaving the union, so basically the south from Kentucky to florida and most of the midwest states. It would likely form a new union.
& Utah & northern Rockies as well as Alaska
You’re missing the fact that it’s as illegal as it was for American colonies to leave the British Empire. Texas could never secede without a war, which Texas would surely lose.
@@MadCapMag define losing?
Basically confederate states of America version 2
@@worldsgreatestdude1784 Alaska seceding would probably be its own country
One thing a lot of people don't know is that Texas also has a State Guard. It is a state militia separate ftm the National Guard. I'm not sure of their numbers, but it is a group of volunteers in the state.
If it's a group of "volunteers", I'm almost certain they have far less numbers than the National Guard.
Lol.
Most of them couldn’t even run to the mailbox and back
I never said they were any good, but they are there lol
@@gangreneyatoeoff9881 you don't need to run to be a good shot.
It was interesting to revisit this in light of current events. That being said, I forgot how much this video bugged me. It stages Texas a line state in a matter of secession, but it is a given than the entire Southeast would join them, giving them the entirety of the Gulf of Mexico.
North Mexican here. If Texas gains independence, all 4 Mexican border states will emulate it, either to join Texas or to found our own Republic of the Rio Grande.
Great. Now the cartels would have their own nation officially.
@@bugwar5545 - So you're saying the status quo is preferable?
@@dougearnest7590 Nope.
..no they wont...
I'm. From north of Mexico too and I agree your comment, we can take back the Rio Grande republic again, why not?
We are tired of centralist government in the south
As at that time
A little known fact is that the Texas School board actually determines what is to be printed in the school books that the rest of the country uses due to it being the largest customer.
It's referred to as the "Texas Effect".
The predominantly effected topic was History.
The CCSS takes some of that power away recently.
Our education board has created probably the WORST state standardized test in the country, that’s not a good thing
@@worldsgreatestdude1784 Key words "probably". Your feelings do not = facts bud.

@@I-0-0-I Okay. Irrelevant
@@I-0-0-I Did you know that most of the country had supported slavery? How are your feelings now?
Quick correction, Texas did not become fight for independence because of Mexico outlawing slavery, but because Santa Ana declared himself as the dictator and “Napoleon of the West”, making immigration from the United States illegal, and tearing up the Mexican constitution that was signed in 1824, hence the reason that the flag flown over the Alamo had “1824” on it.
Well said, brother.
No they did
The original rebels against centralism were Mexicans, not Anglo settlers
Exactly thank you
Cap 🧢
Santa Anna dissolving the Constitution of 1824, and the Congress/State legislatures is what lit the fuse. Slavery was never mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.
At about 7:00 in the video, they are comparing CA to TX and the graphic shows NC instead of CA!! Get it together, peeps! LOL!🤣🤣
Then a more accurate title would be what if texas stayed independent instead of getting annexed
Texas without the USA would become Nicaragua. Why would Texas separate from a major world power?
If it gets that bad, secession is preferable to the alternative. I feel like too many people want actual conflict.
Fort Hood would mobilized and crush any Texas Terrorist attack . Fort Hood is Federally owned .
@@diaryofanaxeman539 Fear isn't an acceptable reason to remain. If the only thing keeping us together is fear of the repercussions, then everything will collapse anyway.

Illinois take care of Texas again.
Did anyone else notice that when they say Texas was only second in size behind California it actually shows the outline and flag of North Carolina
Yes yes I did. I'm from NC originally. ;)
They don't have it right. Alaska is slightly bigger than Texas but if you melt all the snow then Texas would be bigger.
@@CarltonStovall Texas is about 1/4 the size of Alaska. The ice and snow have nothing to do with it

Those living in TX knows that the power grid is not as "strong" as this video claims. Heatwaves, severe coldsnaps, and tropical systems always causes damage and energy rates soar
But the energy grid is still independent. The main issue is that building regulations and turbines aren't made for cold climates which isn't a common occurrence in Texas. Where I live, it hardly goes below 60deg F a few times a year and hasn't snowed in almost 20 years
Texas staying or leaving the Union wouldn't have an effect on that. It's not as if the rest of the US can send Texas power *now* (the grid aren't connected; and, it's not as if electricity can be trucked in).
We have Elon. He’ll fix it.
6:58. That’s not California. That’s North Carolina.
rofl!
I am pretty sure that was a joke because most people don't know what a state looks like outside their own.
Texas was asked by the United States to join as a state but when they did they made it clear that if United States gets out of hand they will leave the union
THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS
Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.
This is way too real in late Jan of 2024 😅
If you didn't know Mexico and the islands in the Caribbean is considered north America not central!
No disrespect, but we consider Mexico to Panama, Central America, and in no way view the Caribbean as part of North America.
@@jackwalker9492 uhm… who is “we” Mexico is not Central America, it’s part of North America. Central American is Guatemala to Panama. But Central America is still considered part of North America since it lies on the North American tectonic plate, it’s just considered a region within it. Three countries include North America (excluding Greenland which territory of Denmark, and Central American and Caribbean islands) The USA, Canada, Mexico.
There are basically two definitions of North America: the continent and the region
@@alejandromendez488 First, there is no disrespect at all meant here and I have spent over 15 years in Latin America. Currently in Colombia and while I have been to almost every country I want to (Brazil, Paraguay, Guatemala and Mexico are my to do list!). I dont want this to be an argument or some hateful thing.

The biggest snowstorm in recent history barely even hurt us. Some pipes burst, and? The media tried to inflate the scope of the disaster.
Makes fun of texas
*is on fire 9 months out of the year
That snow storm is only once in a generation and we've withstood it each time before. Global warming has a rubber banding effect that's hard to predict so we couldn't have known it would be as bad as it was. It never goes below 20F more than one day a year around here but that storm had it go to almost 0 for over a week where previous storms were probably around 10.
As a Texan once oil was discovered the game would have changed. Slavery would have ended by the 1880s with the rise of steam powered cotton production. And Texas government would have made sure that we are technically advanced.
As a Californian I support Texas independence, California independence and any state that wants independence since the empire is collapsing.
Its not about collapsing, it is about being rotten.
In alternate cyberpunk universe, the Texas is called the Republic of Texas in the year of 2077.
I think this is fairly accurate except for I think there's several states that would want to go with Texas or become part of Texas at least 10
texas had an exit clause when negotiating joining the union . it is rarely talked about .
This is from the *current* (post Civil War) Texas Constitution:
"Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, and the maintenance of our free institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States."
Texas Constitution, Article 1 Section 1
"All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient."

I've been to Texas several times, like DFW, Austin. It's a nice country and citizens there are very hospitable.

I would like to see "what would Canada's Provinces do if Canada fell?" I'd think Quebec would become its own country and some Mid-West provinces would be in the air about joining the US.
wexit lol
Canada already fell
Alberta is Quebec's sugar daddy. Alberta need to separate from Canada.
Quebec should be its own country and leave the Western provinces it rips off alone!
That would leave a spot for the District of Columbia to take on statehood while the stars on the Stars and Stripes wouldn't need redesigning.
If Texas actually does leave, a large number of other Red states would quickly follow (either as part of the Republic of Texas or in alliance with it).
@@randlebrowne2048even better. We have a few US territories that have wanted statehood for a while. Ditch the dead weight and turn the territories into proper states.
@@Spacebattler Red states (which would be most likely to leave along with Texas) tend to connected with each other. By leaving, the Blue areas would largely become disconnected islands. You'd be left with parts of the West Coast and the Northeast, perhaps parts of the Midwest.

You missed the routine debate at UT Law school, regarding whether Texas was PROPERLY annexed by the United States.
YES, DUH! How could there be debate? Stop the flowery drama and get a clue. Tx could NOT survive on its own then or now. Stay with statehood and get the residents to be as vigilant in voting and watching the Legislature as they recall those "Tall Tales".

@@vengeancewillbemine3440 What is there to refute? She said nothing of substance. Comparing Texas in the early 1840s to Texas now is a non-starter.
This video makes every negative assumption and accepts them as inevitably. Why would you overlook the idea Mexico would want an alliance with its immediate neighbor and gain access to the vast resources Texas has to offer? An alliance with Texas would offer access deep into the heartland of the U.S. as well as up and over to Louisiana. Do you believe Texas would not drill in the Gulf? And that's with Texas being the number 1 oil producer by a massive margin.
Farming would take a large upturn with irrigation coming from the major river systems running through Texas. That doesn't take into account the newly discovered 3000 square miles 1000 foot thick Maverick Basin Aquifer.
Texas produces more than twice as much beef as the next 2 producers combined. Texas is number 6 in poultry production, almost 4 billion pounds annually. Texas has more farms than any other state; almost as many as the next 3 states combined. Texas is number 1 in sheep and lamb as well.
That is to say, do I think Texas would be ok on their own? Yes. Should they do it? No.
In my opinion Texas would not be alone, several surrounding states would follow suit if Texas seceded.
Most Red states would be likely to follow Texas. Without Texas' electoral college votes, Red states would be relegated to being a permanent political underclass!
I too am a born and bred Texan lived here all my life been to other states and they're all cool but there's no place like home Texas forever

The idea that Texas's border with Mexico would get less guarded upon leaving the Union is pretty laughable. 1) I'm not sure it could be less guarded than it is now. 2) The Union is currently preventing Texas from actually guarding it.
Facts
I hope Texas never becomes a democracy (mob rule) and sticks with the checks and balances of a republic. The biggest problem many Texans have with the American Federal government is that it has slowly over time abandoned more and
more of its constitutional republic origins that enticed Texans to join in the first place. In fact the Republic of Texas originally joined with the agreement that should the U.S. Federal government violate its constitutional limitation Texas had the right to secede.
I kinda think the western time zone states could make a case for its own country.
Politics wise sure
Texas literally has their own military as of now its well over 50,000 troops. They only serve in times of emergency's but they already drill one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year just like the NG. It wouldn't take long to get 90% of the troops up to speed with weapons qualifications and combat tactics. They have a marksmanship team that has won the governors trophy more that any branch in the DOD sector. They are call the "Texas State Guard".
Cool beans. You realize if Texas tried to succeed from the union they would have to win a war with the US government. The same government with 15 military bases within its borders. Also how many of those 50,000 would not join the succession and would join the US? The population of those bases is 1.4 million personnel. If even 10% are active military thats 2.8 times your State Guard and we both know its more than 10%
& ther commander and chief is the president. All national guard
Future American Civil War. Red vs Blue like Halo.
🤨
If Texas actually succeeded, they wouldn't go alone they would drag a lot of the southern states with them therefore strengthening their boundaries and their population and their resources
Texas leaving and taking all Goober states with them would be a God send... Just need a really high wall to keep them all in...
7:00 that ain't California bruh ... Looks like North Carolina 🤣💯
God bless TEXAS
🤣 yeah right
Texas: I want independence
USA: okay but we will take our boarder and you can go fight Mexico solo
The UN estimates that American civilians own 46% of the *world's* guns. Texas is both the 2nd most populous states and the most heavily armed state. Not even counting the State Guard and National Guard units (or whatever federal military assets it may keep) in an emergency Texas could quickly form a larger military than any current nation on Earth! Just call up the civilian militia and you'd have an army of millions, most providing their own guns and ammo!
Even just the Texas National Guard and Texas State Guard have more military firepower than Mexico's entire military!
Y’all probably working with the Simpson writers
Fun to speculate! 😅🍀
I think that part of the factor that defines wether we make it as an independant country is the Reason for becoming independant in the first place. Specially having in mind that we are now more than before.
I think people in general just want Texas out for some reason. I say this as most of this theories (as far as I know) come from people outside of Texas.
Texas is what keeps the liberals from never losing another presidential election again, that's why they hate TX but want to take i over..
Putting a giant red X over the "diverse metropolitan cities like Dallas and Houston" speaks volumes about the blatant bias I've been starting to notice in the videos on this channel. You can do better than that Infographics!

I went three and a half days without power last year because of the power grid failure, and I survived it got down to 32 degrees in my house it was hard to stay warm but I still survived it and if that's the worst thing that happens Texas Will survive
@@bryanlasermagiktyler3132 You say that like its a badge of honor that Texas is unable to maintain basic standards of life in a first world country.
Since the federal government can't even send electricity to Texas *now* (the grids aren't connected) being independent wouldn't exactly make that worse!
fun fact, six flags was founded in texas, and called six flags because of the six flags that ruled over texas (america, spain, france, mexico, the texas republic, and the confederacy)
Did they forget the State guard? I saw them mention the National Guard, but not mention the State Guard at all. Those numbers are small currently, but are set up to easily amp up should the need arise. We usually ramp it up near any major emergency event.
Currently, the state guard is both a disaster relief organization and a framework to form an army (from militia volunteers).
Do this for every state. I’m pretty sure my state would destroy itself.
California or New York? Or Oregon?
@@greenliongirl07 if ur asking me what state I’m from it’s the buckeye state.
@@BAVidmar17 Ohio?
@@greenliongirl07 Yes. We do exist by the way.
@@BAVidmar17 I know. It's just not one of the first states that comes to mind when I think of crazy.
He didn’t mention anything about a mass exodus from the state. I have friends who are proud Texans but if that were to happen they would leave the state. Not all businesses would stay in Texas either. The US could also demand that it pay back all the investments it has poured into the state.
I see Scotland becoming independent from the UK before Texas does from the USA.
Not to mention it would require a fight, and Texas has 1.4 million soldiers in its borders in their 15 military bases. People just resume those bases would convert to Confederates but that would not happen.
Scotland wants to secede from the UKGB _to rejoin the EU_ which Britain itself seceded from in Brexit, so that's a big difference as Scotland wouldn't be out all alone.
It was it’s own country after it declared independence from Mexico and then is now a state in the USA I know all of this because I live in Texas
This is the old information Texas has the 12th largest economy in the world
Do Alaska next. It would be very interesting to see.
Alaska would be very poor would likely annex by either russia or Canada
yeah, Alaska and its what, less than 750k population? yea good luck with that. Sitting duck for any world power to take over.
Russia will try to reclaim it. Especially since it has oil
@@mr.patriotjol yeah alaska would be poor it also barely has any people.
@@antmck99 yeah russia will try to take hold of it, invade it and make settler colonies. That will just make it complicated for everything else yet again since there might be boarders conflict especially russia and US are mortal enemies, thou I'm confident that US will be able to beat russia.
