Huzzah! On March 2nd 1836 a group of Mexican Patriots victimized by the unconstitutional and aggressive dictatorship of the long named Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón declared their glorious commitment to Lettowist principles.

Mexican Patriots
I'm sure they were mostly pinche gringos.
If only they would declare independence again.
Oh yeah this was today. Some nearby new/future failure bar mailed out fliers about some sort of party thing with Lone Star being even more stupidly cheap than it already is.
Q1: Was it really just about slavery, or was there more to it than that?
Q2: What exactly does pinche mean?
Like that, it's kind of along the lines of "fucking."

There was more to it than that, there were uprisings all over the place in Mexico and the Tejanos were generally for it (though it led to whitey flooding the State which turned out really bad for them in the long term).
Texas girls are easy.
It's a shame it's not on a fault line like California, and it can't slide off into the Gulf of Mexico one day.

:yes:
They did. Turns out declaring independence from Mexico is a lot easier then declaring from the US.
