If Texas actually were ever to secede, I have a few questions:
1. What would they do for a military?
2. Who would they trade with? They’d be the 8th largest economy in the world, but it’s not easy if you can’t trade with number one.
3. What would they use as currency?
4. They’d need their own banking system.
5. Let’s assume it was done violently. We could simply blockade them. No ocean ports.
6. Without our protection, Mexico might as well take it back.
Just asking questions.
