Every tried-and-true Texan knows about Texas’ battle for independence from Mexico, and every Texan knows just how independent Texas is to this day, even as a part of the United States. Back in the 19th Century, Texas had a brief flirt with nationhood, and ever since, this notion of Texas as its own “country” has been our distinct identity and culture. So, what if Texas had remained independent and never joined the United States?

This quirky, animated video by AlternateHistoryHub gives a few scenarios as to what could have happened. What do you think?
