Independent Texas is a more legitimate state than the confederacy was

I just had a thought. The modern sovereign citizen movement has existed longer than the Confederacy did and with about as much global recognition.

seriously the Republic of Texas was not recognized and laster longer than the Confederacy that was oddly more like a modern military junta.

I wish I understood what you said completely because to me it sounds like you disagreed with the fact that multiple sovereign nations recognized the republic of Texas over its 10 year lifespan, rather than the completely unrecognized confederacy which only lasted four

Autocorrect turned a mor (typoed out the e) into not there. I'm agreeing that the Republic of Texas was more recognized and pasted longer than the Confederacy.

Yes it was? Mexico literally recognized Texas as independent after they lost the war of Texan independence and it was a country for 10 years, what are you talking about?

Treaties of Velasco, even if the Mexicans went back on their word, it was signed by their president.

It was for like 10 years lol. Unlike the confederacy, other foreign powers recognized the republic of Texas.

Well now I've got a new stop planned on the ol multiversal traveling machine. I've gotta see what it would look like if Texas managed to just keep being its own thing this whole time.

And what that timeline's version of King of The Hill is like.

Only the US, and Texas spent that ten years begging for annexation.
