No. When we joined the US, we promised to be loyal, and we can just leave. and if we did, we would get Mexico mad. We our supposed to be one country, the United States of America.

# data[].attributes.body

“Texas should not secede because” What if we can’t keep our land! Slavery is morally wrong. “This action will only lead to war.” When we joined the US we made a good deal with US we can't just lose the good deal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should NOT secede because slavery will still be constant and  they it will be hard to form another country again.

# data[].attributes.body
No, They Need To Be Part Of The US, Because The US Is Better Just Off The Bat.

Yes Texas should secede our economy is build on slavery and we need it to make money. If we don't we basically give up our primary source of money.

# data[].attributes.body
No they shouldn't. It wont be good for either side if they secede. It could lead to a war

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because of something they don't like about the Union, it would give us a bad image and tell other countries that "you can't trust us". Also if Texas were to secede it would continue it practices in slavery. And we would not be able to maintain a stable economy without the US.

# data[].attributes.body
texas should not secede because so many people died, so many battles were fought, and so much money was spent trying to be annexed by the U.S. and they would pretty much be throwing it all away.

# data[].attributes.body
No, i don't think that Texas should secede, as we had gotten so far, and we'd be extremely vulnerable if we left the United States.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Texas should secede. They came into the United States thinking that they could keep there beliefs and now the US wants to change it all.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should secede because 1) Slavery is morally wrong, 2) Texas and the South is very outnumbered and in a war, is very bad. They will lose all their troops and people. And 3) The United States is called The United States, the states shouldn't be aloud to leave anytime.

I believe that Texas should not secede from the United States, because if we fight a war then lose we will lose a lot of power and say in the eyes of the government. We will then be subject to follow the laws they passed. If we don't secede we are granted a favorability in the eyes of the government, which will make them more liable to listen to our grievances. Like when a child misbehaves they lose privileges, if we fight this war then lose we will lose our say. The government will be much more likely to listen to us if we show our loyalty.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should leave the union, because the south, and Texas's economy depend on it.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because the United States will end up ending slavery for good and if they do leave it will be the end of the mighty United States.

Texas should not secede  because that they would have slavery

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not secede because they think slavery is fine and they are not loyal to the U.S .

# data[].attributes.body
Texas SHOULD NOT secede because we just got with the US and it took a very long time to get annexed. Plus I don't think it would be a great idea to get in trouble with Mexico, AGAIN.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Texas shouldn't be seceded from the US because we are an united country! We shouldn't have different sections and have the country divided.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas seceding would go against the promise they made when they signed the constitution. Also, leaving when something doesn't go your way is immature, the country is a democracy. We need to stay together.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas shouldn't secede because they promised to be loyal to america and if they seceded it would cause war with the north.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because then they will still have slavery which is not good

# data[].attributes.body
they shouldn't secede because they joined the us and they should stay or it well tear the united states of america in half.

# data[].attributes.body
They should join the south because if they went with the north, than they would be alone down south.

# data[].attributes.body
That we actually have TWO PEOPLE, no, sorry, THREE PEOPLE who support slavery and the South. So while those three people have their little confederate party, I'll tell you why we should not secede. By seceding, we would be fighting on the wrong side, fighting for slavery. And if that little confederate party over there thinks that HUMAN BEINGS should be treated that way, let's put them in a field and force them to pick cotton. Let's see how they like it. You really want to have the meat sliced off your back with a whip? that's what happened. Sure, states rights are important, but slavery? you make me sick.

# data[].attributes.body
no they should stay with america because if they broke off they would not have the U.S. to protect and economically support them.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they made a promise to America and they must stay loyal even if it doesn't go their way. They are apart of a country and they need to make acompromise.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Texas should not secede because it will only lead to war with the Northern states. Also, they should promote to being an american rather than just being a texan. They should promote, so that way they can be the UNITED states not just states.

# data[].attributes.body
they should not secede because texas needs the u.s. to keep them safe from mexico. with the republican president abe lincoln being elected they would abolish slavery in the u.s. if they secede they would be joining the side of the slave owning democrats.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Texas should secede because they made a promise with America that they would stay. If they did it would probably end in a war over land and breaking treaties. Texas could never be trusted again.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede since we worked so hard just to be part of the United States. The United States would then try to attack Texas to take it over again. Some day slavery would end in Texas and then we would have no point of being a country. Texas will then want to join America again and then Texas would have to learn a lot of different rules again.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede, because it would only lead to war, a poor democracy, slavery. Also the United states should be united not separated from each other. It would only lead to poverty and trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because we will be back under Mexico's control. And they will keep slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should NOT secede. We need to be a whole, and work together to make us stronger than other countries, like Mexico. If we secede, it would mean war, and who knows if we'll just end up killing everybody in the end? We can't risk this.

# data[].attributes.body
We shouldn't secede, because we are a united country, and we must keep our word to be loyal.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede. This goes against everything that America stands for. Instead of leaving when we have disagreements, we should compromise and work things out. this is what makes America a great country.

# data[].attributes.body
Texas should not secede because they just joined the U.S. and slavery is not yet a huge deal in Texas.

No, Texas should not secede. If we don't uphold what we say what type of image does that make. You can't trust us " That definitely gives a good message for other countries to trade with us.

No. Texas is part of America, and it can't just leave when there's an issue. Texas also needs to be loyal to America, and if it did secede, it might cause a war.
