Slow to really anger to the point of violence compared to other people,and unbelievably aggressive and brutal when push comes to shove.

Keep pushing and find out. You are almost there.

Kipling wrote a poem along those lines.

In is no stretch to state that I am not a big fan of poetry,but Rudyard Kipling in MY opinion,might have been the smartest man to have ever lived.

He may be, but he was also very un-PC.

My source is Britannica, not the usual suspects banging their tin pot.
While Texan independence and sovereignty happened, the issue is how.
The signing documents were coerced from a prisoner and NEVER accepted
by the Mexican Senate!!!
I'll stand w/Abraham Lincoln who campaigned on this issue in 1848; receiving
loud criticism from the promoters of Polk's annexation. Admittedly, Lincoln had
an ax to grind as Texas created another large slave State.

And instead of standing like you alongside a country that was defeated decisively in a war, so badly that its head of state and military commander surrendered after being captured posing as a transvestite, I stand with the countries of France, the Netherlands, Belgium and the United States all of which did indeed recognize the independent nation of Texas.

The French established its embassy in Austin in 1841 in a building which still stands today.

No amount of verbiage you might dig up and throw against the wall to see if it sticks will alter the fact that Texas was sovereign.

Stand wherever you wish but keep your helmet on 24/7/365!
Speaking of pointless verbiage thrown against the wall; your French Embassy
established in Austin of 1841 reference, sure is a candidate for First Prize.
What I said came largely from the Britannica, which you may have heard of;
as such I had no need to dig anything up and toss it against the wall.
History records reality and speaks for itself!!!
