I’m Australian and it offends me that a state is more powerful than my whole damn country
Oof I mean Texas is technically a country Honestly
Texas: It appears my Superiority is leading into Conteriversy.
brace yourself...a few states are lol 🥺
well after mexico we where our own state for awhile but what we had in freedom and luck we lacked in all things practical so if we hadn't asked to be anexed we'd've just been absorbed back into mexico, the usa, or taken down as the two broke us down and slowely took over
so really the only reason we're at the stage we're at is cause of the usa so it's more them than us
You mean your continent,we Texans are powerful.
I traveled to Texas once and man, everybody is so patriotic there. Like everywhere you look, Texas flags, shirts, Texas splattered *everywhere.*

Just in case anyone was actually wondering. Texas actually did start as it's own country. Then joined the United States. That is why the Texas flag can fly at the same height as the United States flag. So, just saying.
Also like California, can separate into more states without federal government permission.
So I can fly the west Florida flag at the same height as the us

First person yet to spell it right!
Texas isn’t going to do it
This. All this talk of "legally impossible" is really not much more than copium for those who don't want it to happen. It does give the US a justification to take action against states that secede, but that's it. One of the main reasons why states like Texas and California don't actually consider secession is because of the practical benefits to staying in the Union. Things like free and unfettered trade from neighboring states, mutually assured protection on both domestic soil as well as for citizens abroad, and access to federal US institutions. I mean, the main naval base for the US Pacific Fleet is in San Diego, and NASA's main facilitiy for human spaceflight, Johnson Space Center, is in Houston. In the event of secession of really either of these states, what are they going to do about these crucial facilities?
California and Texas are basically countries within countries. The U.S would lose a lot of status if these 2 separated.

Actually its still sorta nice. What really screwed us us that the power companies did not prepare everything properly abd now they are saying some generators shut down because of a glitch. And before you give us texans crap for it lol remember we have not been that cold in over a hundred years. We were not prepared. But remember if your gonna give us crap remember when california had rolling blackouts for seems like no reason.
@@pudinbar8516 the reason your power companies didnt prepare is because they went out of their way to aboud regulations that would have prepped them
@Ramen Lover in west texas yes mostly plains and grassland but in the southeast part of the state is mostly forest. One of the main reasons california has so many fires is poor land management. They mostly stopped controlled fires which burnt and got rid of the dead plants. So after years and years of build up once it goes it goes. And to be honest this entire country has gone to hell. All about the money and bot the people
*Texas secedes*

Enjoyed your video. I'm a Texan and would love to cecede from the U. S. 😂especially these last 3 years!Regarding the big freeze of '21, it was a wake up call for the power grid. But I never lost electricity nor did my son and his wife. We live close to Dallas. My daughter and family lost power a couple days only. My grandson and wife close to Austin did not lose electricity.
It was a shocker but we and the grid survived.

Where in Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution does it say a state cannot secede from the Union. Under Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution if the Constitution says a state cannot do something the state can't do it if the Constitution never mentioned it therefore the state can do it because it wasn't added into the Constitution.

I would love it if more alternative type history videos like these explored how their relationship within the federal government affected their wealth. Yes, it's a donor state, but much of that high GDP is related to electronics and Texas benefited greatly from NASA's presence. Sort of like how, yes, the Carolinas had a thriving textile industry, but only AFTER Congress gave tax incentives for northern capital to move south and manufacture clothing in the same counties that the cotton was picked in.

You don't think if Texas became independant they wouldn't have a millitary presence on the border?
s s your username fits so well with your comment
Well you're not familiar with Texas history are you. lol
Would that necessarily be a good thing?
That bit about the Texan powergrid aged like repeatedly frozen and thawed milk. Sure, it's independent... and that's a problem for them.
As for the "no state can leave" -- the US signed the treaty to form the UN. That treaty states that any unique cultural or ethnic group may secede from the country which claims its land. The difficult part is getting the USA to obey international law.
If Texas became independent again. It would be a disaster for the USA. Texas owns the aerospace industry in the USA, medical, energy, agriculture, and the military industry. Also, it has the busiest port now. Texas would have extra money each year to spend on its infrastructure. It would basically be a Germany of North America.
Texas isn’t a “unique ethnic or cultural group”. It’s the same ethnicity as the rest of the US, whatever ethnicity that is.

Also the electrical grids map is slightly wrong
British Columbia is independent for electricity. We maintain interties to the "western grid" mostly for exporting power and theoretically we could import power so we're kind of "part of it" but if everywhere else was to cut off their power links to BC we would still be able to keep the lights on all we'd do is lose out on power sales.

ive never had a channel i like that lived in texas , and relate to.
Texas is actually very independent and self sufficient in many ways. One including the fact no outside state power lines run through Texas, they produce there own power and electricity for the entire state. Texans consider themselves Texans first and Americans second. They have their own way of life, lots of very unique cities and locations, as a native NY"er I love it down there anytime I visit.
The USA is essentially a federation. All states have relative autonomy
Real Eyes Realise Real Lies wow! Sounds like every state in the USA!
@@anotheraccount2052 umm no it sounds nothing like the other states in the U.S. You cannot deny that Texas is very unique in that they have litterally their own Texan culture and self reliant structure that most states if any don't have.

1) then why is New York City considered by most the culture capital of the world i went and I heard Chinese,Russian, Spanish then an English and gay couples all walk one behind the other you can’t deny that New York has its own culture and so does every one of the states sure I can’t deny that every state was a country before but most states are self reliance example your enemy California and most east and west coast states (hence why NYC is the countries biggest city) because it’s so self reliant
@@anotheraccount2052 because new York city is one city with a lot of cultures mixed together. I said Texas is pretty much it's own culture together. I've lived in Chicago and in new York at different points in my life and they both were very similar. They were both northern cities and felt very similar and even had similar accents. Texas is a state like no other. New York has different people with different languages and dialects, so? That doesn't mean new York has its own culture. That means it has many cultures living together in a city life.
If at first you don't secede...
Try... try again...
Panteleimon Ponomorenko 😐lol
What?
I would not mind living in an Independent Republic of Texas!
If at first you don’t succeed at English , try and try again.
Daelathツ Secede is a word.
geetings from EXXON! BAYTOWN, TX!
"The final reason Texas is self sustainable is energy"
That didnt age well
Quite the opposite, Texas extracts 27% of all US crude, and makes 5 million barrels of oil a day making it the 6th world largest oil producer, and among the biggest exporters on the planet, and technically the biggest Refined products exporter.
If you really believe the bullcrap that Wind and solar will replace oil and gas i have bad news for you, also Refiners dont make that much money from Gasoline and Diesel anyways (2-4%) they make money from chemicals that you need for example to make electric cars.
@@renacimientoargentino7515 I think he was referring to the snow storm that happened some months ago
@@renacimientoargentino7515 where lots of Texans lost power lol
But that could come back in some form.
You should do an updated version now. Hundreds more headquarters have relocated in the past couple of years and most Texans would probably be ok with independence
Texas is #9 as of today, and Texas CAN leave the union and so can any other state. Fact.
I don’t know why he thinks companies would leave the state. If they do, that would just create a vacuum and other companies would move in. Especially since in the early stages, TX would probably let them operate tax free for the first 5-10 years.
@@acpropulsion6191I believe you're right. I know in North Texas, Dallas County is being bypassed for Colin County, specifically for tax breaks. Harwood is really the only consistent downtown corporation that continues to expand. Most are just residential now
@@acpropulsion6191 ? I honestly dont think an independent texas is a place anyone who wants to trade outside would go.
New Taxes would be needed to pay force Texas defense. Companies would leave.
Where are my houstonians at?
Ben Bertram go astros
Ben Bertram I’m here
Ben Bertram go rockets texans astros and dynamo lol
...and to be clear, I am a HOUSTONIAN first and a Texan second.
Im here
when you said Texarkana I was thrilled because i was born there lol!
Great Video...
Texas, the america of america
Ashes
Texas has more in common culturally cultural with northern Mexico than the original 13 colonies of the United States
true, but I've heard some people say that texas is the america of america for some reason lol
YAR-YAR DRINKS , thats rediculous we speak english and most of the population today is descended from immigrants from the east.
I somewhat agree. Texans seems to more often then not exemplify the traits that are stereotypical complaints about Americans.
Ashes Ya' damn right it is!
