I have always been taught that Texas, because it was a free republic when it willingly joined the union, could leave whenever it decided to do so.

We were taught the same thing when I was going through school in Beaumont.

Texas did in fact seceed by the vote of the people and the legislature..... and has not since ask to rejoin the union. Was forced back to the Union and filled with carpet baggers in official positions. Anyone who fought or gave aid to the war effort was unable to hold public office for years... That included all of our leaders of the time. It is time to reclaim our Nation.

I have always been taught that Texas, because it was a free republic when it willingly joined the union, could leave whenever it decided to do so.You have been taught incorrectly. Read the Constitution of Texas of 1876 which was the Constitution adopted after the War Between the States and approved by the Federal Legislature. No right to secede!

That may have been the case the first time, but I’d bet more than one beer that it wasn’t the case the second time.

Tell that to the Southern States that WILLINGLY JOINED the Union. When they tried to leave Lincoln sent his murdering hoardes South and 4 years later almost a million Americans were dead. All the Founding Fathers believed in secession. Every last one of them. The murdering madman Lincoln said to hell with Jefferson, Madison and Washington. They were all wrong. He was right. We have all been slaves to the Federal government since April 1865, when Lee surrendered to Grant.
