Texas and Texans generally consider themselves Texans rather than Americans. We used to be our own country, and in many ways we still are. Hopefully soon we can go back to being an independent nation again.

Well, most of the South was its own country too. For about four years. Didn't work out so well.

While Texas is unique it is distinctly part of the South. Anyone that says otherwise needs to retake 7th grade Texas History.
Our accents came from the settlers from Tennessee and Kentucky 150 years ago. Our home cookin' is identical to that in Georgia or the Carolinas. (Throw in Mexican Food and our BBQ and we have the best of both worlds!). Our voting tendencies and our culture of independence are distinctly Southern. Combine all of that with the deep ties to the Confederacy that the founders of A&M had. Go to any small town in Texas, especially east of i35, and you will find that it is indistinguishable from any town across the rest of the South.
Anyone saying Texas isn't part of the South is simply uneducated.

yea, I have ran into anti American sentiment here. it sounds like you are one of those extremists that want tejas to secede from the united states.
you may find it hard to believe but there actually was a war fought over that and it was determined that you do NOT have that right.
and you really have no idea the negative ramifications of leaving the greatest nation on earth.
