<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 945006, member: 21705&quot;]The story of Texas admission to the Union has been told wrongly for generations. Pragmatism won out over proper procedure and Texans were told they joined by treaty because that&#039;s the only vote THEY ever took authorizing admission to the US. Unfortunately, the US Senate wouldn&#039;t accept the treaty so Texas was admitted in a back room deal which was hidden from Texans for public relations reasons. This came as quite a shock to me after I had been taught the lie as recently as the early 70s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
