Inside the Lone Star Republic: Why Texas Almost Didn't Survive

This is the decade between the Alamo and the Mexican-American War that American history almost never tells. The Republic of Texas lasted nine years, four months, and twelve days. Here is what those years actually looked like -- for everyone who lived through them. WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS: ► The financial catastrophe -- worthless 'redback' currency, $10M debt, no tax base ► Sam Houston's cold realism vs. Mirabeau Lamar's catastrophic ambition ► The Comanche Empire -- the most powerful force on the Southern Plains that nobody discusses, and the Council House massacre that triggered 500 warriors riding to the Gulf ► Buffalo Hump's Great Raid of 1840 -- Comanche burn a city on the Texas coast ► The Texas Rangers -- effective fighters, brutal legacy, and what the history books hide ► Juan Seguin -- Alamo courier, San Jacinto hero, senator, mayor -- driven from Texas by death threats from the Anglo settlers he fought alongside ► How Tejano families lost land they'd held for generations through courts, fraud, and violence ► 5,000 to 30,000 enslaved people in a decade -- and why some ran south toward Mexico ► Sam Houston's brilliant diplomatic gambit: making the United States jealous of Britain ► The Mier Expedition and the Black Bean Lottery -- 17 men who drew the wrong bean ► How one dark horse president named Polk changed everything in a single election ► The disputed border that Polk intended to use -- and how he planned to use it 📚 PRIMARY SOURCES USED: • Juan Seguin -- Personal Memoirs of John N.
