Question

How did we get the Republic of Texas?

Answer 1

We got the Republic of Texas because Texas chose to become a U.S. state.

Explanation:

Originally Texas was part of Mexico, but since the Texans, along with many other Mexicans, were upset with their government started the Texas Revolution. They won and became their own country(The Republic of Texas). A decade later the Texans decided to join the United States which then started the Mexican-American War.
