Presidents of the Republic of Texas. (477 words) |
 | We Texans used to brag a lot more than we do now, and one source of pride was that Texas alone of the forty-eight states had been an independent republic before we annexed the United States. |
| Jones styled himself thereafter as the Architect of Annexation but the claim is hollow for he actually reaped the seeds sown and tended by old "Sam Jacinto" for six of the preceding nine years. |
| Texas would still be the largest state except Alaska came right along with Hawaii and messed that up, too. |
