Independence Day

[5stringJeff]

For Texas, that is. On March 2, 1836, delegates at Washington (later known as Wahington-on-the-Brazos) approved the Texas Declaration of Independence. The declaration came as the Alamo was under seige. Seven weeks later, however, Sam Houston routed Santa Anna's army at San Jacinto and captured the Mexican dictator, demanding recognition of Texan independence in return for his release.

Happy 171st birthday, Texas!!! :cheers2:
