I was born and raised in Texas. People who moved to Texas, and who were not from there were perplexed and annoyed that Texas history was taught in schools. I guess that they did not realize that Texas history did not start with the Pilgrims, as taught in US History.
So, when I listened to Part 1 and Part 2 of this podcast series, and learned about Colin Woodard’s book, I thought to myself, “Finally, someone outside of Texas acknowledges that not all the U.S. started in New England/Yankeedom.”
Ever hear of the amusement park franchise Six Flags Over Texas? That’s because, historically, there WERE six flags over Texas. It was first claimed by Spain, then France, Mexico, The Republic of Texas* (yes, Texas was an independent republic for about 9 years), The Confederacy (sorry!), and finally, the United States. No Pilgrims.
*How “Greater Appalacian” of them! LOL!
Greater app. Makes sense why I became a chemical engineer. Not because of the degree but because I could perfect the good ol mountain dew.
