 * Textbook Pages: 454,455,456
 * Straight from the Texbook page 455: "For 12 days, a small group of Texans held off Mexican Troops at the Alamo."This was them trying to win their Independence.

 * The Amusement Park, Six Flags, orignated in Texas, but do you know why it is called Six Flags? The Awnser is right within the name of the park itself, "SIX FLAGS"The flags that have flown over Texas are Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, The Confederate States of America and the United States of America.
 * Did you know Texas can break away from the United States of America at any time, because of the Statehood regulations they signed?
