Texas’ right to Secession:
Texas doesn’t actually have the right to secede.
It has the right to split into 5 seperate states, with 10 senators, whenever it desires.
If the Union so much as raises an eyebrow at our intent to split up, our annexation contract with the Union is breached, null and void, and Texas forthwith reverts to her own Sovereign Country.
I wonder myself to sleep at night: what was foreseen that this clause was insisted upon?
Sam Houston was a suspicious SOB, as were many other early Texians.
He didn’t trust the US government much more than he had the Mexican one. He knew that the US could be at least as abusive.
If the Union so much as raises an eyebrow at our intent to split up, our annexation contract with the Union is breached, null and void, and Texas forthwith reverts to her own Sovereign Country.
Doesn’t the annexation documents provide for this to occur as provided for under the US Constitution? Thus the Congress would have a say.
