Yes, Texas was its own country for about 2 years. I think that is an interesting piece of historical trivia. Does anyone know more about this subject? I used to live there and with this knowledge, no wonder the natives seem to have an attitude that is very different than other places in our country. It is such a breath of fresh air.

I don't know all the details like who was president or if they had a president at all? But I would be interested to know how their government was set up for the years that they were their own country.

Texas was a republic from 1836 - 1845. Before that, Texas was ruled by Spain, France and Mexico. During the Civil War, Texas joined the Confederacy, and afterwards became the 28th state. I lived in San Antonio for 20 years and love the city and the surrounding Texas Hill Country. If you ever get to visit San Antonio, make sure you go to the Institute of Texan Cultures. You'll be amazed at the diversity of people who settled inTexas.

Thank you photobug for sharing this information with us. I used to live in Texas, near Ft. Worth. I agree the diversity of people is incredible. I still have a few friends in Texas. I miss Texas and its people sometimes. I miss some of the activities also. I used to go to the rodeo most Saturdays. I went fishing most Sundays. I always had a job or two and sometimes I had three jobs at once. It was fun.
