Hello, new to the forum and glad to be here. In fact it was this topic that brought me here.
I've written more than little about this.
Smashwords — The End of Texas — A book by Juan Batista
"A bumbling Texas governor flirts with secession. Far right militias flock to his call and prepare for violence to bring about independence. A backlash from Indigenous Mexicans in Texas calls for the Aztlan Now movement, Mexicans wanting to secede FROM Texas and stay loyal to the US. Militias, Brown Power people, prison gangs, police, and FBI clash. From this comes new Mexican-majority US states."
Anyone who imagines most Texans have ever wanted to secede doesn't know or understand Texas.
Slightly more half of all whites in the state do, most conservatives do, and most Republicans do.
But none of those groups are the majority in Texas anymore. The Latino population is the most fervently patriotic and opposed to such treasonous sentiment.
Any attempt at secession would
A) lead to violence
B) lead to a backlash by the indigenous Mexican population and
C) end in failure, and likely the breakup of the state.
And as I pointed out in my previous post, the idea that Texas ever had any mythical right to secede, or was ever truly an independent nation, are both false.
BTW, my book is free, for anyone interested to read in more depth on the subject.
