Texas Independence Day - bullet - 03-02-2016 10:24 AM On March 2, 1836, Texas declared independence from Mexico in a move that changed the world's destiny. The US would eventually annex all of what is now the southwest US, creating a global superpower. Below is the San Jacinto monument near Houston, marking the Texans victory over Santa Anna's army that secured that independence. http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/san-jacinto-battleground/gallery/967-1314_300.jpg Texas Independence Day - B_Hawk06 - 03-05-2016 04:13 PM Thank a Tennesseean. RE: Texas Independence Day - ArmyBlazer - 03-07-2016 12:34 PM As Mr. CoastGuardHawk06 says, on behalf of my deep family roots in Tennessee going back to the early 19th century: you're welcome. Seriously, though, the story of Texas independence is pretty interesting and I've enjoyed studying it.
