A European Reacts to Texas And Can't Believe This Is Still America

In Europe, we all know Texas. Cowboys. Oil. Heat. Guns. That's the full picture. I thought I understood it. Then I actually looked a bit further. The history, the economy, the numbers on why people keep moving there. By the end I had to admit I was wrong. Embarrassingly wrong. I reacted to five clips: how Texas was its own country before joining the US (and chose to join, not the other way around), the RealLifeLore breakdown of why Texas is becoming America's most powerful state, the Economics Explained comparison of Texas vs California, and then the two-part origin story of "Don't Mess With Texas". This is the first video in a new series. 50 states. Let's go.
