Texas was crushed the first time and will be crushed again if it tries to secede from the union it voluntarily entered into.

In 1864, the world was very different. The north was the economic and production center of the country. Texas was scrub farms with small income.

Compare and contrast with today.

War is always about logistics. First and last.

Texas might not be so easy to crush today.

Good point....yet Texas won every battle on it’s own soil, so its hard to say it was crushed. In fact it became a haven for southerners like my ancestors, who came here to flee the carpetbaggers, to get lost in the vastness of the state....hardly crushed.
