This is for Huston
What if President elect Polk was a non expansionist and Joint Resolution on the 28 February 1845, which called for annexation of Texas failed.
What effect would the continued existence of the Republic of Texas have of on the history of the US.
that or without resources and support the mexican army would have recovered the lost territory and never lost the other half of the country :P
so... sorry no republic of Texas :P
I would think that once Texas was recognised by the US that Mexico would be reluctant to move for fear of starting a war with the US.
Not quite the same historical thread, but this book was an interesting read on North American development if the American Revolution had been a failure: >For want of a nail<

i think we went on war with Texas before (or even after that)... I have heard an odd story about "Remeber the Alamo"
and elts be real, from this side of the frontier we already acepted the US sent people to Texas expecting them to bring Texas back... expansionist politics... it that time rpesident haven't been expansionist most texans would have gone to Texas at all :P

We wouldn't have to worry about seceding. We'd allready be there.

You also already tried your hand at this seceding thing, didn't go so well the first time.
Lots of small changes in history could easily throw the whole world on it's head. Generally very small easily could have happened events make or break history. What if the US had not choosen Washington as it's top general for the war? He wasn't the most experinced, or decorated officer they had to pick from, but he was on hand, and obviously trained at the time the choice was made is all. But do you think another man could have done what he did, never mind in winning the war, but in making sure a democracy was born out of it instead of a Kingdom. He had his faults to be sure, but he was the right man, in the right place, at the right time. I think if anyone else had been choose things would not have ended as they did.
Hitler was a soldier in WWI, is it really inconceivable that he had died then? And what would the world look like if he had?
What if Julius Ceasar had lived through the assassination attempt?
What if Attila the Hun had not died after meeting the Pope?
So many simply changes would have massive effects.

Not likely, Montalve. Texas didn't need military protection from the US. Our financial situation was in shambles (if only we could have held out until the discovery of oil...then we'd never have had the embarrassment of "Most Likely to Secede".)

this is also truth
unfortunately... Mexico being a fully centered goverment just means that it attended to the needs closer to the capital... all the north was to far away, so it was much neglected... this I concede.

I actually voted for him....twice, and his father....
But we send our snow birds to Florida....not texas. My wife though wants me to come see where she grew up in CA and Arizona, she really wants us to move there.
I'm a yankee though, no matter where I go. Proudly too.

I was actually born in Minnesota.
I grew up in Florida; I went to rent an apartment in Tampa, and the lady's from Ohio; moved to Florida two years ago.
She asks me where I'm from, I say Gainesville, she says "good. A local." True story. So 9 months down there you're a local, and everybody who wasn't there 9 months ago needs to GTFO.
