Texas become its own country?

The only way it will happen is a result of a large scale civil war. At that point the government will turn all of t resources against the uprising. It will be squashed before it starts. Think about it prior to the civil war states had the power not the government. The biggest advantage to be held was manpower. The north utilized the immigrants coming in to bolster there numbers and give them the manpower to continue the fight and eventually win. Today it's technology. How much technology does the states posses. The guard may have some howitzers and a few tanks but the government possesses far superior technology. Line up ur tanks and they will strike from 10k ft with guided missiles. Or from ships at sea with missiles. Everyone thinks Americans would never fire on fellow Americans. Hate to break it to u but there are enough foreign nationals part of the us military to be a size able force. Also with very little propaganda and constant hammering the rebels will become the bad guy that threatens there way of life and all this country stands for. Also the first argument made is we have these weapons on military bases in our state. These soldiers will join us. Nope not gonna happen. At any sign of possible uprising to the level of a threat all equipment and personnel will be secured either by withdrawing to a more secure location or by sending in troops from areas outside the threat zone.

In the end the only possible way to accomplish any where near a civil war would be for 75% of the country to decide to do so without anyone getting the least bit of info it's coming. A secret can't stay a secret between friends much less 75% of the country.
