@@lomiification No it has nothing to do with Texas, it was the president at the time Andrew Jackson and the 1830 Congress. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The act authorized the president to exchange Indian lands within existing state borders for lands west of the Mississippi. the president sent in the Army who forcefully relocated natives from Tennessee and Alabama to Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. which is where Indian reservations stand to this day.

As an American watching this...I am enjoying this far more than I should. Edit after watching: So...Texas took over everything, except Wyoming - which is pretty much just Texas - but slightly further north. Accurate.
If all the states decided to do a battle royal, Texas would probably do what it did in the video. Take all the states north to decide the country in half and then just expand outwards
First point of unrealism - Florida Man would _never_ give up that easily. Second point of unrealism - I don't think North Carolinians would allow a Brit into their ranks after he had just tried to conquer them. Third point of unrealism - Texans don't have quite that thick of a drawl. Everything else, though...fairly on-point.

Fun fact, the first steel bridge was made in Missouri, the eads bridge over the Mississippi cennecting St.Louis to the west, thats why it has the gateway arch.
Sorry mate, RCE said invented, not built. That means he's talking about Sir Henry Bessemer's patent in the 1850s. While we're talking about the Eads I'd also have to point out that Andrew Carnegie was born in Fife. So while the great and mighty James Eads might have the record, it was based on an English invention and built by a Scotsman. But hey, that's all water under the bridge... ... yes that whole thing was just a laboured effort to get that pun in. ;)

Anyway the English moved in, became ranchers and landowners, fought out the Mexicans, form to their own country, and then later joined the United States. So that Texas accent? As I understand it that's what the English accent used to sound like a couple hundred years ago. So, basically, Texas? It's all England's fault.

Texas was a part of Mexico until 1836 when American settlers living there refused to comply with Mexican anti-slavery laws and annexed the territory for themselves
