@@lomiification No it has nothing to do with Texas, it was the president at the time Andrew Jackson and the 1830 Congress. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act.

Fun fact, Texas owes its origin and accent to England. It was originally settled, by England and I think Mexico or Spain and became part of Mexico I'm not sure which. Anyway the English moved in, became ranchers and landowners, fought out the Mexicans, form to their own country, and then later joined the United States. So that Texas accent? As I understand it that's what the English accent used to sound like a couple hundred years ago. So, basically, Texas? It's all England's fault. And they wonder why the rest of the country hates them.
