Teilung von Texas

Why was Texas cut down so much?

They can go ahead and secede

Should have just separated east and west Texas.

This was all just claimed land; never did Texas own or administer these lands.

This was from the time prior to the Mexican-American War, when Texas was an independent republic that had claims on neighbouring Mexico. The USA came to administer Texas’ claims directly after said war.

The “partition” is that, upon entering the Union, the Federal Government assumed Texas’ foreign debt in exchange for the state to renounce its claims north of the Missouri Compromise line and then some.

Thought it was edited to replace South America

Alaska be like: try harder Texas

Dur dur duurrr, that’s why Texas blah blah blah.
