In the early days after the Mexican revolution, something uniquely Texan happened in Texas: it tried to become indendent from itself!
from wikipedia: "The Republic of the Rio Grande (Spanish: República del Río Grande) was an independent nation that insurgents against the Central Mexican Government sought to establish in northern Mexico. The rebellion lasted from January 17 to November 6, 1840 and the Republic of the Rio Grande was never officially recognized."
Joseph of The Fox Cousins breaks it down.
