    No matter the time, slave ownership percentages were never high in Texas. Never. Texas has always believed in States Rights, though.
    Texas was an independent country. Why wouldn't the population believe in it?

      I believe that Al has, embarrasingly, confused the Revolution of Texas with the Mexican American War. Texas revolted ALONG WITH TEN OTHER MEXICAN STATES:

      Santa Anna dissolved the Congress and began the centralization of power. The regime became a centralized dictatorship backed by the military.

      Several states openly rebelled against the changes: Coahuila y Tejas (the northern part of which would become the Republic of Texas), San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Yucatán, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. Several of these states formed their own governments, the Republic of the Rio Grande, the Republic of Yucatan, and the Republic of Texas. (Only the Texans defeated Santa Anna and retained their independence).

        And this disproves that the Republic of Texas was created by slave-holders to retain their slaves how?

          AL! It was actually created by Spain! You think Spain's hands were clean? Go do some more reading. Mexicans are nothing more than off-springs of Indian women raped by Spaniards.

            The fact that 10 Mexican states left in protest of Santa Anna's consolidation of power indicates it may have been a "we don't want to be part of a dictatorship" thing.

              No need to go all racist in responding to stupidity.

                Al might actually be right here although he forgot to mention religious bigotry as a possible source of rebellion.

                  And yet, look at the Texas constitution. The circumstances might have precipitated a general revolt in Mexico but the Texans were still attempting to retain their slaves.

                    It's not racist, it's more facts. Mexico was inhabited by Indians, the Spain came to Mexico and they pillaged the Indians. That's the truth.
                    I think it sucks, but it's true. I don't have anything against Indians and really nothing against Spaniards.

                      Did the Constitution come after the Revolution or before?

                        March 1836. During the Battle of the Alamo.

                          It's shameful to see so many of you defend slavery. Best case scenario is that most of you are grossly ignorant of history.

                              Mexico permitted American settlement of Tejas on the condition that the settlers become Mexican citizens, accept Catholicism
                              I fully endorse a rebellion against such religious tyranny

                                Texas revolted over slavery. It's the only state to secede from two countries because it loved slavery so much.
