The Southern traitors were no more American than a Canadian or Mexican.
They gave up their country in a failed bid to continue slavery.
And yes, the Texas government at the time wanted U.S. soldiers to protect their borders at the same time trying to kill them by supporting the firing on Fort Sumter. Nice little piece of propaganda there.
So...Are you a transplant? If you are, kindly leave. You are no credit to Texas, or any part of the South.
We have enough Yankee scum residing in our state as it is.
And the problems mentioned happened years BEFORE Ft. Sumter. Texans were fed up by then.
