Slide Show: Artifacts from the Republic of Texas (1836-1845)
Believe it or not, there was a time – probably before we Texans came up with Dr Pepper – that not everyone was so keen on Texas being a part of the United States. Documents from that era show two nations strongly divided between the sense of adventure Texas seemed to offer and how its politics would change both nations.
