Ooops, they'll have to whitewash TexASS state history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_Texas
"After the Texas Revolution ended in 1836, the
Constitution of the Republic of Texas made slavery
legal. Sam Houston made illegal importation from
Mexico a crime in 1836. The General Provisions of
the Constitution forbade any owner of enslaved
people from freeing them without the consent of
Congress and forbade Congress from making any law
that restricted the slave trade or emancipated
slaves."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Republic_of_Texas
"The Texas Constitution also protected the right
to own slaves and prohibited "Indians" and "Africans"
from living freely in the country or from becoming
Texan citizens."
