Oh, Slavery had been banned previously by the Mexicans.

Yeah, and that's why there was no slavery in Texas.

Stop being stupid...

If you can...

The U.S. did not obtain New Mexico until 1846.

The Mexican government also did not allow slavery in Texas. The status of allowing the territory to be free/slave was still being disputed in Congress.

Texas gained independence in 1821. The new Texas government allowed and encouraged slavery.

In 1821 at the conclusion of the Mexican War of Independence, Texas was included in the new nation. That year, the American Stephen F. Austin was granted permission to bring Anglo settlers into Texas. Most of the settlers Austin recruited came from the southern slave-owning portions of the United States. Under Austin's development scheme, each settler was allowed to purchase an additional 50 acres (20 ha) of land for each slave he brought to the territory.

It might help improve your grasp on reality if you stop inhaling that 'cotton'.
