I really need some land but I don't have enough money.
You should go to Texas, they have free land for settlers.
In Texas
Hello settler, Welcome to Texas. We have some rules if you wanna live here, just follow our Mexican laws, don't own slaves, convert to Catholicism, and learn Spanish.
I'm not gonna do any of that.
Fine, I just declare independence.
No, if you wont follow our rules then no more settlers can come here
Then we will go to war.
At Alamo after The Battle of the Alamo
BUT WE LOST, THEY WON AND WE LOST!
Sir, we caused heavy losses to Mexico's army.
After the Battle of San Jacinto
Great job, we won so quickly, and we captured Santa Anna and Forced him to sign our treaty, We have independence, This struggle was a success!
Sir, we were so successful in that battle.
Mr. President, we the people of Texas have just gained independence and would like to request a US annex
No thank you, since you are a slave state that would interfere with the balance of slave states and free states in congress.
