3/2/1836: Texas declares independence from Mexico
« on: March 02, 2022, 04:17:07 PM »
On this day in 1836, Texas became a republic.

On March 1 delegates from the seventeen Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico. George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution. After fifty-nine members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.


Craig's Note:  Happy Independence Day y'all!

According to the "It Happened on This Date" in our local newspaper, this also occurred:

In 1861, the state of Texas, having seceded from the Union, was admitted to the Confederacy.
