Texas, the "Lone Star State" has quite an eventful history. As you can see on the map it was ruled under 6 different flags: the Spanish, French, Mexican, its own, the Confederate and, finally, the flag of the USA!
Texas gained its independece on March 2nd 1836, after Sam Houston's army bet the Mexicans. The independenca lasted until February 16th 1845, when Texas became the 28th state of the USA!
Today Texas is the 2rd largest state of the USA with a population of over 18 million. It is famous for its ranching, farming and of course petroleum.-----
