[edit] article vandalism

It looks like this article has been vandalized repeatedly. Some current excerpts:

"In 1837, the Republic of Texas, having just lost its virginity to Mexico..."

"Despite the fact that Mexican dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna and hitler warned that annexation would be..."

The last several edits also reveal vandalism. I'd like to suggest that this article be locked and the vandal, who appears to come from the same two IP addresses every time, be banned from editing any articles on the site.

[edit] more article vandalism

Removed a reference to the Hanseatic League recognizing the Republic of Texas. Some people's children should not have access to a keyboard.

--Bdunbar (talk) 01:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Not being a lawyer, it would be helpful if someone could provide justification for the need for a treaty and hence 2/3s Senate approval of annexation of a territory. The Constitution is mute on territories as far as I can tell and its requirements for states are much looser (Article IV, Section 3) simply saying they can be admitted into the Union but not from parts of other states without permission. Legal types should also remember the state of international law in the 1800s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.129.101.47 (talk) 20:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Santa Anna

This article reads as if Santa Anna was the leader of Mexico throughout this entire time period, notable is this sentence

This territorial conflict did not matter to the Mexican government since Santa Anna wanted the whole of Texas back as part of Mexico.

However, he only regained power after the Mexican-American War started (thus his feelings about the matter were irrelevant to the war's start). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.52.215.67 (talk) 07:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
