Answer 4

Lone Star, symbolizing the years of the Texas Republic. I was born in Tennessee and been here 24 and half years. I love both states. But I have to admit there is a complex way of thinking here. The average Anglo Texan hates to admit the state ever owed any other anything. They put sky high value on being born here. Even if your mama just happened to go in labor passin' through. Since I have family on the Alamo list on my mama's side, and so many of the best Texas leaders and families orginated in Tennessee... I admit it is irrating. But is basically two interconnected states fiercely proud of their tradiations. Lone Star and Volunteer state. If I was in a war, no one I would ever like to have beside me more than a geniune Texan. Only one would equeal him a Tennessean. They can be exasperating, irrating, stubborn as mules, they also can be kind, generous to a fault. It comes with the territory. This land orginally was a hard row to hoe. It took stubborn, never give up people, to make a living. That carries over. I don't understand their attitude to Mexicans fully. Part that is my raising. Tennesseans still respect them from our stories from the Texas Revolution and the Mexican war. It takes iron nerve to walk into our rifles, barefoot. We have our grudges based on killing the prisoners but we blame that on Santa Anna, not the average Mexican. A lot of Anglo Texans hate Mexicans and they hate them back. With me it is this. When I showed up in Texas twenty-four years ago with my life in a new car after a rotten divorce, it was Mexican guys who fed me in an apartment complex I signed a lease for in Dallas. I had not ate anything in 30 hour's. I was numb in feeling. I had over $3,500.00 in my pocket. They never looked at the bulge. They fed me, laughed with me at my lousy Spanish, bought mas Ceurvas. I went home to the apartment I had just leased, and slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. I was three sheets to the wind. They could have robbed me and dumped me somewhere. Instead they welcomed a deaf Gringo stranger. Thinking back, they were probably drug dealers. But I have been fed and helped by illegal immigrants by our law over the years the same. Too me it boils down to this. Mexican people by and large are as proud and brave as Scot-Irish, they tend to come from farming back ground. If they accept you, they will respect anything in your person. But I admit I still carry a good hide out knive and gun if I have to go to wrong places. I don't often, but I can use both very well. It is good insurance. Anglo Texans are the same, basically like Tennessee, but with a strange streak of stuburn as mule insistance that they can't be wrong. If you bring up Tennessee roles in their Icons like the Alamo, Goliad, San Jaciento, and leaders of the time and after, they get sulky. The alternative is they did it all! So I think you have a relatively fair description of Texas. And that flag. It is a wonderful state, with beautiful long reaching lands. They seem to stretch forever. I love both Texas and Tennassee. By virtue of the blood my family has shed in both, I claim citizenship in both....
