KelseyHOST
During the remaining years of the Republic of Texas, many settlers arrived from the South hoping to establish cotton plantations.
KelseyHOST
Some say the Old South ended here because few plantations, if any, took root west of those built here.
KelseyHOST
An early census showed that some 30% of the country's population was African American slaves.

Jeffrey SuttonGUEST
That's the biggest in the world, and I'm not sure it's a competition you wanna win.
Jeffrey SuttonGUEST

Rocky DhirHOST

Jeffrey SuttonGUEST
I'm not sure winning the competition for longest constitution is where you wanna go.
Jeffrey SuttonGUEST
I almost wish Ohioans had as much local pride.
Rocky DhirHOST
[laughing]
Jeffrey SuttonGUEST
I mean, the Republic of Texas, and it's almost like you're not exactly a state or part of the Union.
Jeffrey SuttonGUEST
Of course you are, but the local pride is wonderful, and in, in my view, American government celebrates that, and it's a great outlet for local traditions, local history, and local pride.
Jim HansenHOST
He's literally pandering in the most transparent ways.
Jim HansenHOST
And, and I'd like to believe that Texas, the great Republic of Texas, was willing to go ahead and, and refuse to elect, refuse to even consider...
Jim HansenHOST
You know, we had Beto O'Rourke a while back, the guy in the sheep suit riding around on his skateboard acting like a weirdo, and he was a, he was a world-class weirdo.
Jim HansenHOST
He lost twice, but he was too close.
N. D. WilsonHOST
A camp of the saints style collapse leaves the United States fractured into multiple governments struggling with corruption and violence.
N. D. WilsonHOST
Republic of Texas, Northeastern Commune, People's Democratic Republic of Greater California, and various other independent states.
N. D. WilsonHOST
Run down by the massive influx of immigrants and the destruction of societal trust, coastal cities have devolved into third world living conditions, while most suburbs and rural regions are de facto ruled by cartels, gangs, and rouge sheriffs.
Brian KohlHOST
I like that typo that actually that makes it super dystopian they're rude sheriffs yeah that meant it's not AI so I approved of it most suburbs most
Soule GravyHOST

EricHOST
190 years ago today, Houston, Sam Houston was elected President of the Republic of Texas.

Yep,

EricHOST
it followed his successful revolution against Mexico where he had the land, um, where he beat them at, uh, the battle of San Jacinto.

Um, he didn't even join the, uh, race to become, uh, president of the Republic of Texas until, um, Just 11 days before the election.

Richard KilmerNARRATOR
Texas? Something in a way Fenner repeated that made it sound not like a confirmation but a question.
Richard KilmerNARRATOR
Or was Drew overly suspicious? After all, as Callie had agreed last night, the late Republic of Texas was a very large strip of country, housing a multitude of native sons from the planting families of the Brazos to the ranchers in crude cabins of the Brazato.
Richard KilmerNARRATOR
There were Texans and Texans, differing greatly in speech, manners, and background, and one did not ask intimate questions of a man riding west of the Pecos.
Richard KilmerNARRATOR
Too often, he might have come hunting a district where there was longer distance between sheriffs.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And- That would be you could bring in the Oregon territory plus what is now Washington and make two states eventually as free.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And that would balance the recognition in 1845 that the independent Republic of Texas, which hadn't won its freedom and just declared it, would become a state.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST

Victor Davis HansonGUEST
But he was a realist, a pragmatist.
