Actually that's is COMPLETELY wrong. West Texas is a HUGE cotton producing region--the largest in the world, IIRC. They produce over a million bales a year. So I don't know where you're getting your information from.
The Panama Canal Zone is made into a territory, which leads to a war with Colombia over America's "stealing" their territory. America dominates and takes quite a bit of Colombian territory as a consequence, extending into South America, and the land eventually gains statehood in 1959.
I doubt it makes a difference considering he thought he had found a western path to Asia rather than a new continent.
Someone else (maybe Vespucci) would do as Columbus did and the continent would go on as the same, maybe with less Spanish dominance.
You need to distinguish between Tejanos and Mexican'ts. Tejanos have always been considered a vital part of Texas--there has been some discrimination against them, yes, but they've generally been considered to be Texian. That's a large reason why most of them look and act like the rest of Texas...
I was under the impression that we did...both as the Republic of Texas and as a part of the US Army.
Let everyone learn this lesson from Texas history: if you sleep on the job, you will be bayonetted by vengeful Texans who are angry that you slaughtered their compatriots.
Seriously, if...
Actually considering the fact that Christ was incarnate seperately of normal human reproduction, he would actually be biologically identical. At least the way the Church teaches it...:D
I think the Andes would have made a Chilean-Argentine union impossible before the advent of at least the telegraph. I think the union of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile is more likely--Chile could have demanded this during the War of the Pacific if they'd really wanted.
Most religious people tend to think of God as being more powerful than the butterfly effect, so I don't know if Smith would necessarily be butterflied away.
That's like saying that "if the Romans never were in Palestine, Christ would have been butterflied away." To any person of faith, that...
I fail to see how people think that a Texian-Mexican war over a small piece of coastline in the Gulf of California would result in the USA taking most of Western North America.
Texas was always bound to end up with Santa Fe--Mexico just never showed any interest in that part of her territory...
It's far too large of an area to rule as a single state with 19th-century communication.
The best you could hope for is a loose confederation, which would lack the strength and unity necessary to be a superpower.
Gran Colombia failed as a unified state. Mexico wasn't able to stay intact...
I think that it depends on who is voting. Is it just the Quorum of the Twelve, with maybe the former First Presidency, or is it the Twelve and the First Quorum of the Seventy, or the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve and both the First and Second Quora of the Seventy?
I think that the...
I bet he would have ordered the playoffs to start early if the CBA looked like a strike was inevitable, for one reason: the Texas Rangers were in first in the AL West.
The Rangers had the 4th-worst record in the AL when the strike began, but the three teams behind them were Seattle, Oakland...
