So I was watching the local news at around 12:00 AM and noticed they were covering a small story about a coalition of people somewhere in Texas (don't remember where) trying to get people to sign a petition (a large one) for Texas to secede from the US (United States). I personally live in Texas, but I'm not really sure what to think about this (I'm only 18). I mean cool, I guess?? It would be cool to live in our own country, and they said the statistics and resources claims say we can thrive without being a part of the US, but I mean why do it?? What are the actual benefits of doing it?? And what benefits do we lose if we become not part of the US anymore?? If anyone could give any insight on this it would be much appreciated, as I'm utterly confused. Are you for or against Texas seceding from the US, or do you just not care?? I personally think I'd be for it, but only because, like the people trying to get signatures, a lot of us are tired of having to deal with how the US is being run and we want to start fresh. There's a poll here too so you can vote.
Also, for those of you that don't know, Texas was its own country back in 1836-1846 when the Texas Revolution happened against the Mexican army lead by General Santa De Anna, and after several major hard-fought battles, including The Alamo, where a coalition of 120 (about) Texas soldiers fought for 13 days in a fortified fort called The Alamo killing thousands of Mexican soldiers until on the 13th day the Mexicans stormed in with most all their soldiers and killed every single Texas soldier. One of the other hard-fought battles was in The Battle of Goliad, where the Texas cavalry fought against the Mexican soldiers, but in the end were all captured and said they would be given jail time by the general. However, when each of them were let to walk out of the prison house they were each shot and slaughtered one by one by a Mexican soldier. The final battle was fought in San Jacinto near a river where the sleeping, already drained Mexican force was attacked by The Texas Cavalry shouting "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!", and captured by the remnants of the Texas Revolution and thus Texas became its own country, The Republic of Texas for 10 years until they decided to join the US. Just sharing that for relevancy. (*COUGH*Certainly not because of Texas pride or anything*COUGH*)
