The Republic of Texas

For a decade (1836-1846), Texas stood alone as an independent nation. Born of a separatist revolt from Mexico, the Republic of Texas was sustained by fragile institutions, community militias, a small army, and a limited export economy built in part on enslaved labor. Explore the history of this era through Texapedia’s collection of in-depth, originally researched articles.
