Texit: Is an independent Republic of Texas a reality in North America in the year 2040?

Abstract

Texas, called the lone star state, is one of the 50 U.S. states. Independence movements have come back into vogue on a global scale. In Europe there are such movements in Catalonia, Flanders, Scotland, Tyrol and in Quebec in Canada. In this paper Texas independence thoughts will be analysed as well as compared to the American history. For the past 20 to 30 years the independence movement in Austin has been active both on the streets and in the Texas Parliament. More than 160 years ago the events that led to the American Civil War (1861-1865) took place in American history. This war began with the secession from the Union by eleven southern states, including Texas. But is it even possible to opt out of the American Union in 2024? And what would an independent Texas look like?
