Texas remained an independent nation for how long? 9-10 years depending on how you perceive it. The US accepted Texas in 9 yrs, but Texas did not accept statehood until it was sure all land boundaries as marked would be consid â¦ ered Texas, they waited to ratify it for 10 years.
I would also point out that Texas was only part of Mexico for a period of about 10 years. Prior to that, it was part of Spain. However, even that was mostly in name only. Most of Texas was in the hands of Indians, and there was not much of a Spanish or Mexican presence in most of the State. As for how it is that Texas wound up in the United States, Texas was an independent Republic for almost as long as it was part of Mexico. Texas had reason to fear a new Mexican invasion, and it was interested in the protection of the United States. And America had a functional democracy, and Mexico didn't.
