Hell yeah Texas lol
I grew up in Gonzales where the first shot of Texas independence was shot.
This all stated do to a cannon that Mexico gave Gonzales to fight off Indians. The cannon is the size of a Subway sandwich lol.
They wanted it back so we had no way to fight when they came later to kick us out of Texas. So we hid I and burned the town to the ground so they couldn't have it.
After we won our independence we rebuilt the town. It wasn't till 1960s I believe did they find the cannon. A mudslide washed it free from it's hiding place.
We fire it every year at the town fair to celebrate the first shot of independence. It is called COME AND TAKE IT! due to the flag that was made when the Mexico army told us to hand it over.
We were why the Alamo happened.
Us Texans don't mess around we may die but we will make your life hell lol
