Was I supposed to take what the pro-slavery people wrote as gospel? The pro-SLAVERY people?It's amazing how you twist history and truth. You completely ignored the portions of the document by pro-slavery people from Texas, commenting about an attempt to break away from the United States because the majority of the states were AGAINST slavery. The document you quoted was written in 1861, long after the founding of the United States and represents what some Texans at that time thought. It is not, in any way, shape, or form, evidence of the actual founding of this country.
You are completely ignoring the fact, also, that it was in Texas where slavery officially ended, the last state to do so, on June 19, 1865. While you probably spout the words Juneteenth over and over again every year, you completely ignore the real meaning of the date, meaning that even in Texas, slavery has been over for 157 years.
Yes, there were evil people in Texas in its early history. The United States, though, kicked their ass and a United States Army General, General Gordon Granger, ended slavery even in Texas, at the point of an American gun.
