I drove from Houston to San Diego once. It was 26 hours and a ton of it was within Texas. You can drive for 8 or more hours and easily still be in Texas.
Also, out-of-state license whilst residing in Texas is illegal. You only have so many days (14, IIRC) to change your address on your Texas license if moving within Texas. I got hit with that at a traffic stop.
Not nations, but only 13 of the US states allowed slavery. Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. So roughly 26% of the total states of the US, however since there were only 36 states at the time of the Civil War, that would bring the percentage of slavery supporting states to a whopping 36.111R% of the existing states at the time.
It seems very strange that Oklahoma isn’t on that list. I know why, but still.
Those Texans were presumably Americans and as such were hypocrites when many went on about freedom while tolerating, at times engaging in, genocide and slavery.
In 1829, slavery was officially outlawed in Mexico.[26] Austin feared that the edict would cause widespread discontent and tried to suppress publication of it. Rumors of the new law quickly spread throughout the area and the colonists seemed on the brink of revolt.
The new Texas constitution specifically allowed slavery and said no free person of African descent could reside in the new country without Congress’s consent.[82]
I’m an autistic masters student in linguistics and I’m better at giving orthographic advice, while being the kind of person who refers to it as “orthographic advice.” You should probably learn how to be more polite, because it really helps in life.
It’s not too surprising given that Texas was founded as a slave republic.
I suppose things might be mitigated, though:
women who need abortions can go to New Mexico for such (that and more regular use of pregnancy tests).
maybe get a driver’s license out of state and use it in Texas—I also wonder if one can use fake fingerprints.
maybe have open-carry marijuana protests on Hitler’s Birthday.

30 days to change address if you move within the state, 90 if from outside. 521.054, 521.029
30 days for car registration - 502.040

How many nations were not once slave states? It seems very low. Texas as part of Mexico also enslaved people till 1830.

There were only 36 states before the civil war. So that’s 36%.
Fair enough. I will edit to reflect historical accuracy

If you meant ‘until’ and not ‘cash drawer’, that’s a different word.
Or 'til
