If Mexicants still think Texas is still part of Mexico. Then Mexico should still be part of Spain :P

The Texians colonists were invited to live in Texas and were given rights as Mexican citizens under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. When Santa Anna came to power in 1833 he destroyed the constitution and set himself up as dictator. Several Mexican provinces, including Zacatecas, rose up in revolt. When Santana crushed the rebels there, he allowed his troops 2 days of rape and pillage in which 2,000 civilians died. He then turned his attention on the other rebels in Texas. The rest is history.
