I'm pretty sure all confederate states had to ratify something saying they weren't allowed to succeed

texas is the only state in the union with the right to succeed,....its still in the contract,...irronically enough, the seal, under the rotunda, in the cap building in austin still reads 'the republic of texas'

and you're wrong,..texas would not have become part of the union had it not been for the slavery issue,...
first texas was not a huge slave state,....we didnt have all the plantations of the south,....we were not the south,...we were/are texas,.....we didnt need the workers that the south needed to economically sustain,....
we were too busy building a country,.....i might add that texas fought the mexicans for our land,.....america did not fight the mexicans,....

and its not the mexican war,....its the war for texas independence,....

also, when we defeated them,....the mexicans.....they were deamed undefeatable,....its a wonder we even won

I'm not opposed to people coming in this country looking for a better life because they trying to escape violence, or extremely crooked politics in their own countires but i think its being abused by people who don't need it.

We used 3 times as many troops and they weren't as well off as they could be from the recent war with Spain.

I think I'll call it what my history teacher with his masters calls it. mmk.

The issue had more to do with congressional votes than if slaves actually lived in Texas.

honestly,...i'm not sure on the time limit,....
however just because the system is flawed does not mean the law should be broken,...

change the system,.....dont advocate the illegal act
