There is freedom in independent, if Texas want to from there own country it is a good thing but did they have the enough requirements to do so it takes beyond having resources and money to do so. Is the intellectual skills, cooperation and unity available?
Cant answer that since I am not there. I have no idea what the feeling is among the population.
They have the industry, education skills, and abilities. Their economy didnt get to where it is because they are lacking. It would be one of the larger (and likely stronger) first world nations if they went on their own.
Texas has all of those. In order of priority, most Texans have God, Family, Texas, and then country. Texans are prouder of being Texan than being American.
