Republic of Texasball

Republic of Texasball was a historical countryball that seceeded and eventually became Texasball. He will soon be back!!!

History
When Texasball was part of Mexicoball's clay, there were very few Mexican Texans living in the area, to the point where fighting off raiding 3balls was becoming a difficult task. So Mexicoball thought "Well if I make the border the openings, I can fight off them!" As such, Mexico opened up it's borders and loosened immigration policy, allowing USAballs to move in and buy up clay. An example of this was Steven F. Austin, who bought huge amounts of, and effectively established colonies in Mexicoball's clay.

Independence!
By 1834, immigrants far outnumbered Mexican Texans, concerning Mexicoball, who proceeded to go so far as to ban immigration from USAball. (Kind of ironic, don't you think?) However, it was far too late, as the cultural differences between Texasball and Mexicoball were far too different, splitting it from the rest of Mexicoball. Not helping was the political turmoil at the time, with an independence movement from Spainball and the effectively dictator Santa Anna, and Texasball didn't like being in a dictatorship very much. Unsurprisingly, several Mexican states, including Texas, rebelled. On March 2nd, 1836, Texasball declared independence. After Mexicoball lead an army to crush and massacre rebels, even more Texans were encouraged to rebel, with cries of "REMEMBER THE ALAMO!" Santa Anna was soon captured and sent back to Mexico Cityball, where he had been overthrew. Texasball had finally won it's independence.

Annexation by USAball
From then on, Texasball was independent for roughly a decade, before eventually being annexed by USAball. Texasball would have joined USAball no matter what, however it took so long mainly because the states were in huge disagreement with each other - you could say that the lines for the Civil War were already being drawn. Nevertheless, Texas was eventually admitted to the Union. Mexicoball, who never recognized the Republic of Texasballl, saw this as an act of war by USAball, and this lead to the USAball raining freedom on Mexicoball war Mexican-American war, which lead to the loss of roughly half of Mexicoball's clay.
