LOL! Well, y'all didn't have much luck invading Texas last time either. Ever heard of Sabine Pass? Galveston? The Red River Campaign?
Not to mention the last battle of the war, The Battle of Las Palmitas Ranch where we whipped your Yankee asses while you were trying to take over the Rio Grande.
Later, after a few years of “Reconstruction”, your Carpet Bagger State Government was forced out of Texas at gunpoint and the people of Texas reclaimed their government for themselves. (Our local Carpetbagger leader was assassinated before he was forced out though.)
I must have missed the part where you stayed independent.
