Apparently white folk in Texas despise being called Texicans
Comment on Now that's an interesting question

We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.

Isn’t Texas properly pronounced as Te-has, a Mexican name?

Tejas is from the native americans, if I remember rightly. Something to do with ‘friend’ or ‘friendship’ I think. Then it gets filtered through the spanish language before coming to english as texas.

The border moved because Mexico had banned slavery so they fought a war to keep it.
Texas is the only state in the union to fight a war for slavery TWICE.
