1845 when President John Tyler annexed it... 1836 was when the Texans defeated Santa Anna and his Mexican armies.

lol i did a presentation at school 3 years ago about the Hamilton/Burr duel. It was this huge ordeal of a 20min long powerpoint presentation. :D

Burr was such an ass, according to the duel oversight, Hamilton fired in the air to make it a draw, and then Burr shot him.

1803 prof. Thats only because I have lived in Ohio all my life and we had to take some Ohio History class.

And yeah, nomad, I knew you were a history buff already, but I didnt know that was Hamilton as your Av.

My monopoly game (that I've had since I was a kid) is pre decimal, the money is in pounds not in dollars, and to this day when I play monopoly (even on a modern board) I say "pounds" instead of dollars.

(Australia move from pounds to dollars in 1966)
