Texas Should't secede Texas said that they would be loyal but did not keep there promise  they wanted to keep slavery going.The south and north are just looking to pick a fight with the northerns because they have better economy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas should not secede from the United States because if we do we will be keeping slavery and creating more problem such as war.

# data[].attributes.body
i do not think Texas should secede from the U.S  because it would create more war and more problems for Texans. if Texas became its own country again we would possibly make the same bad mistakes that we did back then.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Texas should secede from the united states because it would lead to more war which would effect the people who live in Texas and bring harm to them and there families. It would also mean that Texas would be its own country again and compared to other countries, our forces would not be strong enough to fight off fellow country neighbors.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that texas should not secede because it would cause the war to keep going out of the us and it would make the north and the south both very upset with eachother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was good that they did secede because if they didn't, Texas would probably a lot different and the civil war could have gone very differently and something bad could have happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it will cause so many casualties and Texas is still a relatively young state to go back on it's word would not bode well for it's future relations with the federal government

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it would further cause the war to expand over the US and it would crash the economy and would ruin the relationships that both the North and South have built up over time.

they shouldn't secede because they just joined the united states.

# data[].attributes.body
They shouldn't secede because then it would make the very small and a target for other countries. They also have good agricultural structure to fit with their economy.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that Texas should secede because they had recently been annexed by the US, and I think that if they left it would make them look bad to the world. I don't think that Texas would be very successful by themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not secede because they have a good trade system going on with the north, with their crops, and if they secede the north probably not continue trading with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas shouldn't secede because they would cause a war which means a lot of incessant people dying and they should stay loyal to the constitution.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should secede because they should remain loyal to the constituition of united states. Also we should leave because it would be right to abolish slavery from Texas.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede so they can keep there slaves and keep in business because if they don't secede than they will have no money and just no money for there family.

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think that texas should secede because it would give them more problems. Yes we have all the materials to do so but we would get attacked by bigger countries with a bigger army and more resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas should not secede because Texas spent many years just to join. Plus, they're stronger with the rest of the U.S. then without.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they should not because they would have a harder time with wars and them leaving would cause some places to be angry.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that Texas should break off. They have a good army at United States. They just need to work things out and figure out a good plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede, because when we came to america we said that we would stay and keep our word. Also, slavery was terrible and I don't think it would look good on the states resume if we were to secede because we were for slavery. We would also be weak without America because our government would be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that Texas should secede. I think that because they have to be obedient to the constitution.

i think Texas should not secede because they just got annexed by the united states and would loose the war that Texas would help create.

I think that Texas should secede because they need slaves to help do farming work also because of states rights. the southerns don't have enough control which makes it sorta unfair.  - aniyah andrews

Yes Texas should secede because the U.S. state of Texas declared its secession from the United States of America on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it replaced its governor, Sam Houston, when he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not succeed but i'm not saying the South is right

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should secede because it would cause war and overall slavery wasn't right and they needed to learn their lesson about slavery without war. Also I think they overreacted about Abraham Lincoln because he was a good choice. Also I don't think they should destroy the the economy/system they have created over the years with the South in charge of agriculture and the North Manufacturing. Also Texas has gone through so much to get annexed and they are just going to throw it all away.

They should not secede because we will have slavery and will not be a part of the US and will most likely have lots of wars with the US.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should break away from the United States because they would get what they want. They could keep slavery, which would not destroy their economy. They would not be punished with unfair laws only directed at them. They would have power which would make them a better place to be. Everyone would be happy except America, but you would never be able to please everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they just became annexed into the US, and we would not be taken seriously if we broke our promise. Also, America is a united country, and we need to be loyal to one another and find peace.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas was annexed into the united states under the pretenses that we shall remain loyal to our country and uphold and protect it's constitution, seceding is a vailation of that agreement and seceding will only force the north to act in response of these vailations with a war.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all Texas was a farming land full of agriculture. They needed slaves in order to keep the farm in order and keep on getting a profit. The north was going to remove that which they didn't believe that was fair so they opposed it. Last of all they believed in state rights and wanted to make there own decisions and the north was going to outlaw it.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason Texas should secede is the issue with the States' Rights. The Southern States don't appear to be allowed enough power in creating/passing laws, which leads to an unfair privilege for the North. Another reason is that the North doesn't believe in slavery, but the South--including Texas--supports slavery. For Texas, the economy (agriculture-based) needs slaves to survive, so not seceding and becoming a free state would lead to a collapse in Texas' economy. It is in Texas' best interests to secede, along with the rest of the Southern States.

# data[].attributes.body
We joined the united states for a reason we promised to remain loyal and uphold the constitution what are we we if we can't keep our word we would just be a bunch of cowards.

# data[].attributes.body
We joined the U.S. for a reason. We can't just be cowards and hold our selfs higher than the rest of the country. I'm not saying that Texas should surrender and agree with the south, although it is the right thing to do they wanted to be a slave state. They should have at least fought along side the south.

# data[].attributes.body
texas should leave because it would crash their ecomnomy

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede only if they want to keep slavery for a bit longer, because if they don't, the north will make Texas give it up or destroy them.
Also because they have a better chance of winning anything by joining the south.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they should leave because they will be able to keep slavery. They also can have there on rights. They don't have to listen to the U.S if they leave.

# data[].attributes.body
leave
if they leave they can keep slavery

to have a better economy

because they can keep there promise.

1.The confederacy will supports state rights.
2. Abraham  Lincoln
3.More power in the states.

should because because they just joined the usa

1. Abraham Lincoln passes laws to punish the South.
2. Texas is more like the South than the North.

Texas shouldn't secede because it would only lead to war and they just joined the US

1.Abraham Lincoln
2.They had slaves and love it.

First off it hasn't been a long time since the last war and we don't need another.Also,starting a new country will cut all out government money from the federal government.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they just joined the usa

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not secede because the north has economic ties with other countries which would help deal the south's cotton to get more income. Also the north has a better army (double the amount of the confederate army).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas should not secede just because they don't want to and they were fighting a losing battle. They also promise to be loyal to Texas and if they leave it will cause another war.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not secede because they were fighting a losing battle anyway. The confederates had less people, and for people to say Texas is all good and everything, they sadly did own slaves. But they could have just given that up, work hard and join the winning side. Plus it would just lead to another war and Texas didn't need more wars.

# data[].attributes.body
because the shouldn't just leave because they didn't get what they wanted, it would just lead into another war.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas promised to remain loyal to the united states. Plus, if they do secede it could lead to war. Texas agreed to being American, not Texan!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Texas just got away from Mexico and they might be weak combined with 5 other states against all of the other states. It would take a miracle to be able to beat the North. We should just stay with the US for now, maybe we can get them to pass some laws that we can be more independent. They have a sort of low population and do not have many men to fight in the Civil war when it comes.

# data[].attributes.body
it will lead to war and if they lose then the economy will go down. They should keep their word and stay loyal. They need to work together and not just be a texan, but an american.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because if we didn´t we would have to give up slavery and our economy will colapse and we would have few options.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not have left the United States because they ended up losing the war and the war overall was not good. If they did not leave it would have made everything easier.

# data[].attributes.body
It will cause a lot of problems and make  more war and conflict.
When they joined the US they promised to stay loyal and they wouldn't be keeping their word.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of they do not have to have slavery and they promised to be loyal to the united states wich is sometimes varry hard to do and amarica is a democercy so if something whent the rong way they could have a choise and vote and do stuff like that.

1.)Abraham Lincoln and the American government passes laws that only punish the South, including Texas.2.) Texas has been its own country before. We know better how to rule ourselves, instead of people in Washington. Local and state government is much better.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because it would help the economy of the south because of how much land there is to grow tobacco, cotton , and rice. If the north was to abolish slavery, the economy of texas and the south would crash

# data[].attributes.body
1.) It would only damage and cause more war. Plus it will and could cause a higher toll of death
2.) All they want is slavery and is willing to break their sworn promise to stay apart of the country.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas should secede because its not fair that the north has the rights to make up all these rules when the south has to deal with whatever the north decides to make rules. If the north decides to end slavery then that means for the south its going to be extremely hard to make money and that's not fair.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Texas should not secede because they think Slavery should be allowed. Another reason is that this is just going to lead to war.They are just finding a reason to start a fight because they are upset about slavery and having a poorer economy.

# data[].attributes.body
Because Texas did not want/ get to vote in the election and the laws that he passed Texas did not agree to them

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede several reasons. 1. Texas should not secede because we fought so hard to become independent from Mexico and then to be annexed by the United States. 2. It could really harm their economy because when they first tried to be an independent country their economy was not very successful. 3. It could cause war because Texas would be breaking their promise for being loyal to their country and upholding the American Constitution

# data[].attributes.body
President Lincoln only hurts Texas. Texas wanted slavery and if they did not secede they would have to give it up. They would support there decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should because North was just making laws that the South had to follow and that's not fair. Also if slavery was to be abolished then the South's economy would crash, and that's not good.

The North had the South out numbered more than 2 to 1 and they were backed up by Washington, D.C, because Abraham Lincoln . If they never fought the North in the first place then slavery would have still been around so because their ignorance they destroyed themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Abraham Lincoln keeps passing laws that don't benefit Texas.

# data[].attributes.body
We have slaves and the USA does not want that. If we got rid of slaves we would not be able to farm as well. Also we have been independent before why not again? Th USA seems to be falling apart and we do not want to be apart of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because we promised to stay loyal to the United States. We  are not a bunch of groups working together we are a country. If we were to chose to secede it would cause a war , and that would not be good.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because it was very hard to get annexed and they promised to stay loyal. Even though the South says it will hurt their economy it really won't because the North also profits from the South's cash crops.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not succeed because Texas was the one who begged the U.S. to make them a part of their country. They would be a hypocrite to leave. It is the UNITED states not the separated states Texas should compromise and find a solution. Texas also needs to abolish all slavery technology is advancing and making jobs that slaves do easier. Texas agreed to become a state of America if they left they would have a bad reputation

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should leave the union because they should compromise instead of being a brat and just leave the union. Look even Sam Houston was against seceding from the Union. Yes we had slaves and lived in the south but we could have solved this peacefully and without war. We are the UNITED States not the United STATES. Last thing slavery is wrong and most Texans didn't have slavery so other to keep it. This will get people angry but we need to show them why it is immoral and how we're suppose to see everyone equally. -Joseph Trevino

# data[].attributes.body
Morally, this decision is incorrect, I know. I have a feeling though that they need to have a standoff, instead of dragging it on for generations. This way, it'll be even, and they can settle the matter once and for all.

I think Texas should secede because they will then be able to make their own laws- states rights. Also, if Texas secedes, they can run their territory on what fits their economy. For example, Texas believes they need slavery because they rely on them to pick cotton and run their economy. Another reason Texas should secede is because they have experience. Since they have been their own country, they would know how to run the government on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
-The north has more power than the south.
-Texas has been their own country before and have grown since then.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas would be better off if they do break away from the United States. The first reason they should secede is because they have had experience as a lone state and could easily be there own country again. Another reason Texas should secede is so they can make there own laws to fit there own needs. For example savory, farmers in Texas needs slaves to work in their fields and tend to their crops. This will help their economy and make them a better country.

# data[].attributes.body
If Texas was the only state seceding then they shouldn't secede because then they would be surrounded by a bunch of union states and Mexico. Since there are other states seceding around them, then they would still be strong in comparison to the rest of the states who are not seceding. Also, Texas has slaves and is for slavery, so, if they wanted to keep the slaves that is also motivation to secede.
- Jaden Gentles

# data[].attributes.body
Texas' economy relies on slave labor without slavery the economy will collapse. This is a very hard situation for Texas, the North is better in every aspect compared to the South. The North has canals, more miles of railroads, better equipment, more manpower, and much better supply. The South has less railroads, less equipment, less manpower, and less supply. Most of the citizens of Texas rely on slavery for farming. If Texas decided to stay with the North and not secede their people would be very unhappy. Texas would become split between North and South supporters, and this would cause Texas to be at even more of a disadvantage. Texas would essentially be fighting themselves instead of being united. Even though the South will definitely lose against the North it's important for the citizens to stay united through this difficult decision.

# data[].attributes.body
If Texas does not secede their economy will crumble because they won't have slavery. Also, they already know how to run themselves pretty well.

# data[].attributes.body
-If they leave they are gong to have a lot harder of a  time with their economy because they did a while ago, so why wouldn't they accidentally revert back.

-They wouldn't be loyal to America because they spent so long to be annexed, so why would you leave now?

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should secede because if the U.S is going to cut slavery their whole economy would collapse. Since their economy is based agriculture they need slavery to maintain their way of life. Also Texas has been on its own before. They know how to rule themselves better others.
