You do know how Texas came to be right?

I do, but apparently you don't have a clue.

When Santa Anna became a dictator, he abolished the Mexican Constitution of 1824. ALL provinces of Mexico were in revolt. Austin and Houston were adamant that they were fighting for a restoration of the 1824 constitution.

"1824" was even on the Texican flag. It only became an independence movement when Santa Anna refused to restore the 1824 constitution.

Don't you DARE compare Austin and Houston to the Albanian mafia, and their narco-terrorist state.

Good points all around. The Anglo Texans also had the support of the old Spanish families that were the original settlers of Texas.

Santa Anna's Mexican army, just like most of the illegal immigrants today, was composed of people from hundreds and even thousands of miles away who had absolutely no ancestral connection to Texas. The only true "indigenous" inhabitants of Texas were all North American Indian tribes like the Comanches that are still around today, and none of them speak Spanish.
