A bit of history

A bit of history
The history of Texas as part of the United States began in 1845.
Its history has been shaped by being part of six independent countries: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America.
Starting in the 1820s, American and European immigrants began arriving in the area; joined by Hispanic Tejanos (Spanish for "Texan") they revolted against Mexico in 1836 and defeated an invasion army.
After a decade as an independent country, Texas joined the Union (the United States) in 1845.
The western frontier state was characterized by large-scale cattle ranching (élevage de bétail) and cotton farming.
In the 20th century, it grew rapidly, becoming the second largest state in population 1994, and became economically highly diversified, with a growing base in high technology.
The state has been shaped by the interactions of Southern, Spanish, Tejano, Native American, African American, and German Texan cultures...

Texas ... is also ...

Chuck Norris is a hero all over the world and he's a Texas Ranger :D



"In the Eyes of the Ranger, the unsuspecting stranger,
Had better know the truth of wrong from right.
'Cause the eyes of the Ranger are upon you, any wrong you do he's gonna see.
When you're in Texas, look behind you, 'cause thats where the Ranger's gonna be."
