In 1845 President Anson Jones wanted the people of Texas to vote if they should enter the United States and the people voted against it. Mexico after the Texas revolution still thought Texas belonged to them so they started raiding San Antonio. Texans where mad at this and wanted to finally settle it all later in 1846 the congress of Texas declared war on Mexico. Note: reminds me about how the war of 1812 was started. In 1848 the war ended and Mexico left Texas alone texas was free from harm until the beginning of the civil war. In America there was trouble the south and the north were at each others throats about slavery. Texas after the war with Mexico had abolished slavery because of trade and industry. Sam Houston feared Texas would be dragged into another conflict and begged congress to keep Texas neutral. Then the civil war broke loose and the union and the confederacy went to war with Texas neutral. Until later the confederacy brought the war into Texas and with that Texas declared war on the south and sided with the north. At the end of the civil war Texas helped as much as possible with reconstruction under the orders of president Sam Houston Jr. Sam Houston senior had died in the during the civil war not fighting but at home. But time moved on. Later in 1917 Texas and America entered the First World War Texas and America enters the war because Germany sent a telegram to Mexico saying if Mexico join forces with Germany they would get back lost territory. So that made everyone in the republic and America upset Later after the war ended the alliance between Texas and America grew very strong both became world superpowers. But years later WWII broke out America entered the war first because of Pearl Harbor. But Texas entered because a ship was sunk buy German u boats in Texas waters texas then declared war on Germany and Japan. With the end of the war trade and industry boomed once more Texas and America became greater allies. Texas later became involved In the Cold War with American armed forces and became the sister country America. Later also texas military joined the Persian gulf war to help America bring down the dictator of Iraq at the time because Texas could understand being under dictator rule. Note when NATO was formed Texas did not join. Thank you for reading. |
