TEXAS Declaration of Independence

Due to the urgency to sever ties with Mexico, the TEXAS Declaration of Independence was literally written overnight. The TEXAS declaration was modeled after the U.S. Declaration. This document detailed the responsibilities of the government, listed grievances TEXAS had with Mexico, and declared TEXAS as a free and independent republic. This document is matted and printed on an antique style parchment paper that looks and feels, as if it were an original typed version of the TEXAS Declaration of Independence.

“To the People of Texas & all Americans in the world –

Fellow citizens & compatriots — I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna — I have sustained a continual Bombardment & connade for 24 hours & have not lost a man — The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid,
with all dispatch — The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am deter mined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country

Victory or Death

William Barret Travis Lt. Col. comdt

P.S. The Lord is on our side — When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn — We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves — Travis
