The Texas GOP's platform calls for a referendum so Texans can vote on "whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation."
Polk's whole plan in Texas was to gobble it up following secession. The military advisors and politicos he sent down there during and after the rebellion hijacked the government. They deliberately carved up and sold off the country as planned.
Not a bug, but a feature.
