Texans wore a star on their hats and belt buckles. Many served bravely in Louisiana as calvary and as dis-mounted calvary (can not seen to make them leave their horses). They fought like demons to fend off the Yankees who were attempting to conquer Louisiana with the aim of invading Texas. We in Louisiana need to always remember the Texans who served with our La. ancestors to protect our homes. In the last major battle, 8000 Texans and Louisiana troops soundly whipped 35000 Yankees at Mansfield, sending them packing back to New Orleans never to return until after the war.
Texans gonna Texas.
