HAAAPPPYYYYY TTEEXXASS INDEPENDENCE DDDAAYYYYYY!!!! Without that we may not be here so here’s a history refresher for ya: 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-eight members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico. And all of this took place after Santa Anna entered Texas with 6,000 of his men. There would later be battles to fight in the ensuing weeks and lives would be lost, but Texas... our Texas was born in Washington-on- the-Brazos.
