What did Texas become when it declared its independence from mexico
Answers
Answer:
On March 2, 1836, Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico. The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed at Washington-on-the-Brazos, now commonly referred to as the "birthplace of Texas." Similar to the United States Declaration of Independence, this document focused on the rights of citizens to "life" and "liberty" but with an emphasis on the "property of the citizen."
The Texas Declaration of Independence was issued during a revolution against the Mexican government that began in October 1835 following a series of government edicts including dissolution of state legislatures, disarmament of state militias, and abolition of the Constitution of 1824.
Mexico tried to enforce the use of Spanish and the Catholic religion. Conflict ensued and in 1835 it turned into a full violent confrontation. In 1836 Texas declared its independence from Mexico and soon after drafted the constitution. Texas remained an independent Republic until 1845.
