Changes in Texas

On February 19, President Anson Jones gave his address of farewell and the people of Texas celebrated its new statehood in the U.S. Many others the event as a homecoming since they had moved to Texas from the U.S.

Many of the people were familiar with its government, customs, money system, and language. But Texas was still a frontier state.
