Texas: The Lone Star State and racism!

Texas: The Lone Star State and racism!

What exactly does lone star state mean since America is fifty {50} different states join together to make the United States of America?

The states as you know them today are not always so, or should i say how the story of the states were formed or told to you?

Texas:
The Republic of Texas was formed in 1836 to 1846. Texas was its own country separate from the United States. Texians bargained their own deal with the Spanish government whom ruled over Mexico at the time. This deal included all of modern day Texas and parts of  present day- Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. This deal was known as the Treaties of Velasco {Freeport, Texas} in 1836.

During this time Texas adopted the lone star to represent, them as a sovereign and independent nation!    

United States:
But the United States had also bargain with the Spanish for Florida which at the time was also the coast line of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi with parts of Louisiana and lower Texas up to the Sabine river. This is known as the Adams- Onis Treaty of 1819, which cost the United States five million dollars. But boards and territory where unclear and poorly define. So there where many boarder disputes between U.S., French and Spanish governments.

When Texas was annexed into the United States in 1845, the United States adopted Texas board dispute which led to war eventually, with Mexico.

Texas Racism:
Many Texas hated this, many to this day still whisper annexing from the United States! Especially after the Civil War when the South was defeated by the North. The last battle of the Civil War was fought in Texas.

Texians were so mad over their defeat they never even told the slaves they where free in Texas! This is know as June- teenth? Not really sure, many rumors circulate? Federal troops had to be sent to the South but especially Texas to free Black people!

Texian also hated Native Americans {Indians}. Texian systematically expulse Native Americans {Indians} from there newly acquired lands!


*Tip
To this day Texas is the number one {1} state in the executions of Black men in America!
