What Are The Advantages Of Texas Secede?
Texas being the second largest state in the US holds lots of resources that are more than sufficient for the survival of the people of this state. In comparison to my country Nepal, Texas is 8th to 9th times greater in its size. If a small country like mine, and other example like Singapore can survive by its own, then obviously we can say that Texas secede is a wonderful idea. But each and every fact has its pros and cons like the two sides of the same coin. There are some advantages as well disadvantages of being not part of the US. Texas is resource rich state and if we see geographically it comprises from hilly regions to the plain regions. It does not have to depend on the federal government to fulfill the states success. It can build its own infrastructure with its own money, and bring development in the state of Texas. If Texas is out of the union of US then it will have its own power in its hand to do anything they want for their state and the wellbeing of the people of Texas. The state can control their property, their liberty, freedom from the union of US. They can make their own plans and policies which benefits their state rather than waiting for the federal government permission to do any little things in their state. Few of the organization that promote Texas secession are voices …show more content…

Some can come under the influence of influential people who work for their benefit and rest of the people follow them blindly without knowing the pros and cons of the state being a single country and becoming out from the union of US.

    The historical relationship between the Texas government in the US government is the people of Texas really didn't want to join the United States. When Texas finally joined the United States the U.S didn't respect land agreements and were taking the Texans land. Then Mexico doesn't agree with the deal Santa Ana had made with Texas. The United States offers 20 million for Texas but Mexico denies it, which then causes the Mexican-American war which the US dominates most of Mexico's territory. Then Mexico agrees to the deal and signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 1846 which sets the US-Mexico border at the Rio Grande River. Mexico was financially compensated for…

    Why do the ventures of man fail? The ventures of men fail primarily due to a lack of planning. In the case of Spanish colonies in Texas this holds true. The Spanish first set eyes on the Texas coast in 1519 and in 1821 they lowered their flag for the final time in Texas. The Spanish had about 300 years to try and colonize Texas and the attempt to colonize and settle Texas was not very successful. The initial boats that came to Texas were shipwrecked and only four people survived of the approximately 270 men that made the trip. One of these four survivors was Cabeza De Vaca. These were the first Spaniards to live on Texas soil. Cabeza had a goal to settle Texas and befriend the Native Americans. In reality, Spain was more interested in gold than in colonizing Texas. Cabeza made his way back to Mexico City and because of the information he provided, Francisco Coronado, A Spanish conquistador, was sent back north to search for treasure. All he found were Indians living in relatively meager conditions. By 1607 the Spanish had a settlement in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the first Texas settlement was established in 1682 near El Paso. By 1690 the Spanish became nervous of the French that were coming from Louisiana in the east and encroaching into east Texas. Because of the concern of this encroachment by the French, the Spanish decided to set up a plan to colonize Texas. That plan consisted of establishing missions near Native Indians populations. Second, the plan was to establish presidios, or fortified bases, near the missions. Third, it was planned that the land around the presidio and mission could be safely settled and that the Indians would become Spanish citizens. This plan never really worked because the Spanish failed to plan for three things and these three things were the main causes of the near failure of the Spanish colonies in Texas. First, the Spanish failed to plan for the…

    The decision in which Texas should become annexed was an ongoing battle in which many people have many different beliefs. Henry Clay a famous speaker of the house believed that we should not annex Texas. One of the reasons was that he believed it would start a war with Mexico. He also believed that it would not help the Union at all. Another man John L. O'Sullivan believed that we should annex Texas. One of his main reasons is that it would add more land, power, and another state to the Union.…

    We gained our independence, freedom and sovereignty from the mother country and had not surrendered these upon entering the Union; by the terms of the Constitution all rights and powers not delegated were reserved to the States. We feel a growing need for freedom from the central Federal authority in Washington D.C. We feel that each state should have state rights and make there own laws. We do not want to take over the government and run the states as the north does, but rather want a fair say in issues that concerned the…

    Decree Of 1830 Summary

    The Mexican government wanted to stop new people coming to Texas so that way it would be easier to control. This is were the idea of the Bustamante Decree began to surface from Mexican authorities. They did not want to lose control of Texas so that’s why they started the laws, the 11 th article states to restrict who comes into Texas and not to let immigrants joining Texas. So this would cause families to fall apart if the rest of their family can’t come in to Texas to live with them. As well as not letting new people in , it would make Texas slow at advancing and growing to become a better state. That is what Stephen f Austin believed and I absolutely agree with his argument towards The Decree.…

    Yes. Should we? No. An argument against secession centers on the language of Article I, Section 10, which declares that “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation” To proponents of this position, Article I, Section 10 unequivocally shows that the states, which formed another state will be in clear violation of the Constitution. Any state seceding from the United States will cause too much of a commotion.…

    There were two collections I used for primary sources: the Sam Houston Papers, which is a loose collection of various documents pertaining to Sam Houston’ life, and the Hearne collection, which is a collection of Sam Houston’s letters to various people throughout his life compiled by Houston’s great-grandson. Most of these letters are sent to family and friends, but a few also were addressed to fellow Congressmen from Houston’s time in the U.S. Senate in the 1850s. It is in these letters that the true political stances of Houston can most likely be found, and in others such exhortations as like can be found, “My son I wish you to love and revere the Union. This is my injunction to all my boys!”.3 I examined the letters primarily in the late period of Sam Houston’s life in order to gain an insight into the true views of Sam Houston regarding the secession crisis.…

    Yes, the lower South should be able to secede peacefully. As a Southern Democrat, I believe that it is not only the right of the lower South states to secede, but secession is needed now. This secession is very important to the development of the lower South. The Constitution gives states’ rights, and just because the lower South is not in 100% agreement with the Northern states, that does not mean that our rights can be taken away (page 336 in our book). Now, let’s fast forward to President Taylor’s plan to allow California and New Mexico to choose if they want to be a slave state or a free state (page 635 of our assigned readings).…

Roberts stated, “The crisis upon us involves not only the right of self government, but the maintenance of a great principle in the law of nations...the true theory, if our government as an association of sovereignties, and not a blended mass of people I one social compact.” (Document C) Also brought up in the Texas State Gazette, “This is a Union of equal states, and no state can force another state either to remain in it or withdraw from it” (Document C) Which means every state has the right to leave the country when they want, but no state can push another state out of the…

    Around the 1840s, the US aspired to annex Texas and incorporate it as a state within the Union. However, gaining Texas had its consequences as it lead a war with Mexico. William Ellery Channing, an abolitionist and pacifist, saw that the policy regarding obtaining Texas would led the “nation into war” as it severed as “encroachment,” and a way “to propagate the curse of slavery.” (Doc 2) The annexation of Texas was seen invading Texas’ link to Mexico as in document one, the American Review stated the annexation “shall dissolve the slight bounds that now link the province to Mexico” (Doc 1) This served as a situation for Mexico, who had refused to recognize Texas’ independence and its takeover by the United States, although President James Polk, a strong supporter of the annexation of Texas as seen in his Inaugural Address- where he stated “none can fail to see the danger to our safety and future peace if Texas remains an independent states,” attempted to aid Mexico in coming to an understanding. Therefore, the Mexican War broke out, out of the effort for Texas to break free its bond to Mexico. Eventually, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, and came to an agreement that included setting boundaries for Texas and the acquisition of new territory- California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona,…
