Not Exactly:

Texas is the only state that has been its own country. After Texas won its independnce from mexico in the battle of San Jacinto it became the Republic of Texas.

Mexico didnt want to give up so easy and that spawned the Mexican war which the US intervened in and won and annexed Texas from Mexico.

Not Exactly:

The original thirteen states were also independent countries.

Texas is the only state that has been its own country.

If you leave out California, Vermont, and Hawaii then yes.
