7:44Now PlayingIn the early days after the Mexican revolution, something uniquely Texan happened in Texas: it tried to become indendent from itself!
from wikipedia: "The Republic of the Rio Grande (Spanish: República del Río Grande) was an independent nation that insurgents against the Central Mexican Government sought to establish in northern Mexico.
