the texas republic

Formed: 1865

President: Fletcher S. Stockdale

Government: Democracy

Summary: Texas became the 28th US state in 1845. It seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy in early 1861. Upon the TRUCE, Texas opted to form its own nation, The Republic of Texas.

The Confederacy viewed this as an act of disrespect, but in the chaos of the times, no action was taken against them. The Republic of Texas did not implement The Unity Policy.
