At 678.051 km² (261.797 sq. mi), Texas is the largest of the 48 contiguous states. With a population of over 23 million, it’s also the second most populous, after California. And there’s more that sets Texas apart:
almost unique among US states, it was an independent republic for almost a decade before it joined the Union in 1845. (Tiny Vermont also was independent for more than a decade, and California too, if only for a mere month).
Texas grade school students also daily pledge allegiance to the state flag, the recitation being: “Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas; One state under God; One and indivisible.”
The first word spoken from the Moon on July 20, 1969 was “Houston”.
The King Ranch in Texas is bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island.
The dome of Texas’ state capitol in Austin is 7 ft. higher than the one in Washington DC.
No wonder the state tourism slogan is: “It’s like a whole other country”. Or that people from the Lone Star State like to state that “Everything’s bigger in Texas.” But apparently not big enough, according to this postcard map. A supersized Texas expands to fill out the central part of the US, leaving the other states diminished in size with rather disparaging alternate names:
Washington: Wash Tin
Oregon: All Gone
California: uninhabitable
Idaho: Hi Ho
Utah: You Saw
Nevada: Never Add
Arizona: Arid Zone
New Mexico: New Mix (Hiccup)
Montana: Mount Annie
Colorado: Color Radio
Wyoming: Why Home In
North Dakota: North Colder
South Dakota: The Cold (South)
Nebraska: Knee Grass
Kansas: Can This
Oklahoma: Okay?
Minnesota: Mint Soda
Iowa : Out-A-Way
Missouri: Misery
Wisconsin: Wise Cousin
Illinois: Ill Noise
Michigan: Miss Again
Indiana: Indian Annie
Arkansas : Arch Insult
Ohio: Old High
Kentucky: Canned Turkey
Tennessee: Ten Seeds
Louisiana: Lousy Annie
Mississippi: Miss-Is-Yippi
Alabama: All Mammy
North Carolina: North Carol’s Line
South Carolina: South Carol’s Line
The New England states (plus NY, NJ and PA – and a big part of Maritime Canada): “Damned Yankee” Land
West Virginia: West Gin
Maryland: Snafu
Georgia: Judgy
Florida: Swamp Land
The Great Lakes are ‘Few Puddles’. I’ve no idea what year this postcard map is from, but by the looks of it, it’s somewhere in the nineteen fifties.
The postcard was found here at www.cardcow.com.
I might point out that Idaho’s name is actually “Hi-ho” on the postcard, not “Out-a-way”. I don’t know what “Out-a-way” is supposed to be.

We may not technically be the only state to have been an independent republic, but we are the only state that has a constitutional guarantee that we can divide into five states if we so choose.
Also, Texas is bigger than France. We have stickers to prove it.

Don;t forget Hawaii — it was a kingdom and then a republic before becoming part of the US. No other US state was an independent, internationally recognized nation for so long.
I wouldn’t count California, though — the Bear Flag revolt affected only a small part of the state and never resulted in an actual government. Declaring independence is easy. Actually governing yourself — that’s the hard part. Vermont, Texas, and Hawaii did that. California didn’t.

Of course, Texans don’t buy these. This is a staple of road-side gift shops and other places frequented by tourists. It’s funny that people come here, buy these, and send them off to to non-Texans. It’s a non-Texan’s notion of what a Texan thinks about Texas.

Actually, the original 13 British colonies were all independent republics, not once, but TWICE, prior to the formation of the United States of America under the Constitution.
The Treaty of Paris named each one, independently, as sovereign, to end the war. The 13 nations then joined into 1 nation under the Articles of Confederation.
Later, the 13 states each seceded from the Articles, becoming independent again, before joining the Union under the Constitution of the United States of America.
Comment by Bill aka NO DooDahs! — September 6, 2007 @ 5:56 pm
I had this postcard from the mid-1960s, so it’s at least that old.
It’s not the “true Texans” who would eliminate Oklahoma — just the University of Texas Longhorns, with their rivalry with the University of Oklahoma Sooners.
I’ve lived in East Texas and Central Texas, as well as Central Oklahoma, Northeast Louisiana and Southern Indiana. All have their good and bad points, just like any place you care to name.
I recall seeing maps of Texas from the early 20th Century where the Trans-Pecos was missing. I haven’t been able to find anything on that on the intertubes, and can’t find my old Texas history book.

The Texas State Flag pledge has been around for a long time, but it’s just been in schools here since Sept 11, really.
The One State Under God part is new this year.
I personally can’t stand pledging allegiance to any flag (smacks of brainwashing to me), but as a teacher I have to suck it up.
Texans (of which I am one) do tend to be obnoxiously proud of their state, but no more so than many others are of being “American”. It’s just like a double dose of “I love where I was born”. A bit weird for me, but whatever.

Virginia is “Where in.” And Delaware is also part of “Damned Yankee Land,” as is some of Canada.

I also see that, in addition to K’s comments about Wyoming and Colorado switching spots (see #38), the states of Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona have changed their shapes and relative locations radically.
A similar arrangment exists for the Deep South states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, but that’s likely so Texas can expand eastward.
And, although its outlines don’t seem visible, the phrase “D.C.” is in the right spot for the nation’s capitol city.
PS. The phrase “uninhabitable” for California, the one state given a name that’s not a pun (“Damned Yankee” Land doesn’t count), is a good mention of the major differences between the two megastates.
California has a reputation for being home to Hollywood celebs, aging hippies, and crazy liberal ideas.
Texas is more about businessmen and cowboys who don’t want anyone else getting in their way, Biblical devotion bordering on fanatical, and staunch conservative ideas.
As a Californian who’s been to the Dallas airport twice, I think I understand both exaggerations equally well.

No one’s mentioned yet that this version of Texas includes most of the country of Mexico!
The reason Texans brag about their state, and feel so attached to it, is that it’s a ruthless place, you’ve got to toughen up to survive here, much less succeed, and you’ve got to have a sense of humor about it otherwise you’ll get hammered down more.
It’s sort of like Stockholm Syndrome.

Texan pride is only how non-Texans like to insult Texas independence, and respect for history.
Texas:
Fought it’s own revolution. By itself.
Was internationally recognized as an independent nation.
After the Civil War, Texas kept fighting, for itself.
Texas originally contained half of New Mexico, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorad, and Wyoming.
If taken out of the US GDP, Texas would have the 5th highest GDP in the world.
The Texas Constitution still has a technical ‘out’ if it wanted to secede again.
I could go on, but I won’t.
Texans still learn their history, and are taught to respect it. Can’t y’all find something in your own state to be proud of? Then, you might understand how we feel.
