It is debatable how much black there actually is to be beaten off

That's not entirely true. If you do your history research there was hatred brewing over many more issues than just the slave issue. For one example, the Federal Government was handing out tax breaks to the North which was enabling it's industrial revolution while Southern states were being left behind due to higher taxation and tariffs on Southern ports. Congressional representation was heavily in the Norths favor and the South felt they weren't getting a fair say.
The major impetus was midwestern farm owners angry that they couldn't compete with southern plantations. The primary issue was the federal government's ability to ban slavery. It was an issue that had been brewing for years. The economic implications for the powers in the South were unquestionably terrible on all fronts. Things like industrial tariffs were minor issues and didn't speed up secession.

it wasn't until 1863...3 years into the war, that slavery was abolished by Lincoln and made an issue of the war. It was a move he did large in part to rally the Northern troops because they were getting weary and losing battles and moral was shifting towards the idea that they had nothing to fight for.
Texas couldn't be allowed in to the United States for over a decase because it would tilt it in to slave states favor... Texas joined the Union in 1845. Slavery was very much at the forefront of United States politics the entire time.

On a related issue, how many years of Texas History do they teach y'all by the time you graduate high school? Should be at LEAST 3 years.

At least 3 years of Texas history should be required in all public schools, imo

Would support a Constitutional Amendment that declared this.

If y'all are gonna force us to be a state instead of our own country, then y'all should have to learn about the greatest Republic North America has ever known.
