Says the person who seems to think that in 1703, Brownsville, Texas was in the United States, or even in existence for that matter.
Brownsville was founded in 1848, and named after the nearby Fort Brown. The location was part of New Spain in 1703 and became part of Mexico in 1821 and of the Republic of Texas in 1836 and/or part of the US in 1845 depending on who you believe, the Mexicans or Texans. :) Even the city in modern Mexico, now known as Matamoros, just across the Rio Grande, was itself not founded until 1765, under the name San Juan de los Esteros Hermosos, changed to Congregacion del Refugio in 1796, and finally to Matamoros in 1821, when Mexico gained her indepdence from Spain.
There was NO MEXICO in 1703 either - just Spain, and NO TEXAS either.
Technically I suppose the location had other names and ways of referencing it, don't you!
BTW, not only "things you forget" but "thinks you can't read" - and to think you want to be a spelling nanny!!
