Texas should not secede because it would lead to war and the south would like to pick a fight with Texas because they don't like slavery and we promised to stay loyal when we joined the United States

# data[].attributes.body
It is a bad idea for Texas to secede because the USA would want to start a war. The country is literally called the UNITED States. We should be united and not fight.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it wont stop slavery and will probably start a war. Plus we would loose our independence and annexation.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because doing so will most likely start a war, and Texas would break the promise of being loyal to the US.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because America might want to start a war and also because we are a united country and do not just work together.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas shouldn't secede, because the union could help them by giving them industrial needs, while Texas could give the agricultural needs. The north has more of an advantage anyway, with population and industry, so we would be fighting a losing war by seceding. And slavery isn't something we should want either

# data[].attributes.body
Its was hard for them to get annexed. People would loose a lot of money. The US had a hard trusting Texas. Texas worked hard to gain their Independence from Mexico, If they do secede they won their independence for nothing!

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because we could lose a lot of people and money, We also worked hard to get independence and annexation and should not just throw that away.

# data[].attributes.body
No because if we do then we will cause a civil war that the north have a massive advantage on

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not  secede because they barely earned trust from the US, and doing this would simply make them loose the trust that they just earned.

# data[].attributes.body
We should not secede because if we do we will just start a war causing us more resources and also when we joined the united states we promised to be loyal

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede for many reasons, but because of America's democracy Texas should not be allowed to just kind of walk out, the states should be able to work things out with each other instead of feuding over a disagreement

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they worked hard to get annexed. We would break are loyalty with the united states. Also if Texas secede's they would have to keep slavery.

Texas should secede, because if they did not they would have to give up slaves and their economy would collapse, and we have been our own country before so we know how to operate as our own country.

Texas should not secede because they had worked hard to get annexed by the US, and they would lose money.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because if they do, they are likely to keep slavery- and slavery is a terrible thing that should be abolished as soon in America. Texas needs to remember they are American's, and should be loyal to their country even if they feel like their country is wrong, work to get what you think is right! If Texas seceded they would not recognize America as a country worth fighting for, they would totally disregard how hard it was to be annexed into the U. S and it would be hard to join back into America (which they would probably want to do later).

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because if they secede they would still have slavery which is a brutal and unjust thing. If they stayed, they would fin ways which the help of other states to survive without slavery. Also, if states don't get their way, they shouldn't just leave. It is an immature response and will most likely end in disaster for the states that left. Compromise would make America stronger and make a better relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they would lose a lot of money and it will cause war.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because, we are a bunch of different states working together and we made a promise to be loyal and uphold the constitution and we must keep that promise.

I think Texas should not seceded because Texas would loses their economy and would not be as strong being on it's own than being apart of the United States.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Texas should not secede because we would lose economy, and would lose protection.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t think Texas would secede because Texas would lose everything.Like their economy.

# data[].attributes.body
i dont think texas should secede because texas would lost other peoples trust given to them by the US.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should secede because They would lose everything. Trust, protection, economy.

# data[].attributes.body
No, Texas shouldn't secede because they will lose everything that the US has given to them Protection, Mailing service, Economy, Trade and, the Militia

# data[].attributes.body
For me, I don´t think that Texas should secede. Texas would lose the trust given by the US, and would also lose the power (economy, industry, trade).

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on who's point of view you are talking about. If you were a Texan, you wanted to secede. If you were a American (Northern), you didn't want Texas to secede. If Texas were to secede we would keep slavery and our economy would weaken.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas shouldn't secede because it will cause war, and that is not loyal to your country.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it will cause war with the North causing conflict and downgrading the economy as well as us keeping slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not succeed because they would be disobeying the constitution, have to fight in a terrible war, and lose a strong economy and currency. (United States)

# data[].attributes.body
Yes they should because they would have better laws and they want to keep slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because their laws are more similar to the south, and their economy is based on cotton picking.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not succeed because if they do they will break there loyalty to the states.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it would lead to major conflict, and slavery is morally wrong on multiple levels.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should sucede because then it will cause war and could effect their economy.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should succeed because it would be good for their economy and because I think that president ABE Lincoln is only making the economy worse.

# data[].attributes.body
leading off of my last post: if they were to not suceed.

# data[].attributes.body
They would also be carrying on slavery which the North wanted completely gone.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because they were a slave state like the south so they should stick with them and if they din't secede the south would be mad because Texas was part of the south and it would be like a betrayal.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be disloyal to the other slave states and cause a three way war.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because they should stay with the south, and conflicting views within a nation could lead to more drastic problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it will lead to war and it would break the promise of Texas being loyal to America

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should receede because if we don't that way show a sign of disloyalty

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because then they would cause more of an upset and wouldn't being staying loyal to America.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it would only cause war, and they could compromise since the government is a democracy.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because the war will put them in worse economy conditions than losing slaves and we need to work together to support ourselves after we lose the slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because with many less troops they will end up loosing the war anyway and we had already promised our loyalty away to America

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because if we (Texas) did not secede slavery might still be around today and maybe other states/countries would see Texas as an Independent army and realize that since Texas is brave enough to secede from a country, they are brave enough to go to a war and hopefully win against a country.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because the laws aren't fair to them, the North is a whole different and foreign atmosphere, and Texas wouldn't be able to continue with the lifestyle they're living.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it will lead to war and they will have less troops and when we joined the US we promised to stay loyal so we should.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because they border all south states and no north states so if they don't they will be easily invaded by the opposition, if we join the north we have to reconstruct a new economy, and the laws passed by the north are unfair only to us in the south.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should succeed because if they don't their economy could collapse because the north doesn't believe in slavery and they don't have immigrants coming in to help. and they are a part of the south. however if i was looking back on what to do i would stay with the north because slavery is not right. and they should stay one country

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it will only cause more trouble and/or war with the north. Also if Texas stays in the Union it will likely get even more support from the north because of its decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Depending on who is looking on the situation, my opinion differs. If I were a Texan during those times, I would definitely secede as most of the Texans supported those issues and it would be more beneficial to us, but if I look at it in hindsight, then I would not. First off, we would loose the war. Second, slavery is widely known to be wrong now. Third, we should be one country.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should should secede because if they didn't secede then there would still be slavery, and they would be very loyal. If they secede it will make them look very successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede from the U.S, because They must all work together and show what it means to be an American and not a Texan, and no body wants to go through the trouble of war.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede from the U.S because
then we would have the advantage to not have
to deal with punishment and might learn from this
war. In the end we can just drop it and leave \_(T.T)_/

# data[].attributes.body
We should not secede because We made a promise to American that we should stay loyal to the US. Also because it would just bring trouble to Texans heads.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think we should secede from the United States, because we joined the United States for a reason, and that reason was not just so we could just leave them in a few years. Also because, yes, maybe we have learned from our past mistakes, but what if we try to be our own country again, and we fail miserably again, there is a very high chance that they won't take us back.

# data[].attributes.body
No, Texas should not secede because if they left the union it would lead to war between the North and South and they would break the contract that they would remain loyal to the United States.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede cause it would throw of the balance of the north and south. as well that it would make a big commotion and they should wait for it to die down

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because if we don't, we won't have slavery and our economy relies on slavery. We also probably didn't like having Abe Lincoln passing laws that only effect the south, including us.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because we already  fought a  hard war against Mexico to be independent and worked hard to be able to join the U.S.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas shouldn't secede because it would make America look bad if one of the states were leaving, and it could harm America's reputation quite badly. It would also be a good idea to stay with America because it would mean they would be included in other things that America has to decide, and it would mean that America would have Texas' back.  ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
