He definitely didn’t. That sounds ghey.

As Texans, we are forever grateful for the brave men from Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and the other states and nations that came and fought and died for our independence from Mexico. The flags from all those states who sent Volunteers have places of honor and respect within the walls of the Alamo church. Our cities, counties, roadways, and some colleges are named after them. We will always revere them.

We should give California back to Mexico.

Thanks for including this part because roughly one third of the Alamo defenders were from Yankee states and foreign countries. They never get mentioned. But they were there and fought and died with all the folks from southern states and the group of Tejanos that were there.

Importance to the nation, manufacturing base, energy production. The fact that Texas would whip every other state's arse in a war.

California has a case on importance to the nation and manufacturing base. But their politics and taxes takes them out of the running, in my opinion.
