So inspired by this map I've done some research into Texas divisionism but I'm having trouble finding the actual proposed states since due to my schedule I'm mainly limited to searchable archives; most of which are various newspaper snippets here and there. Anyway my map is based on some of the proposals I've seen, but it's missing several mentioned by this Texas Handbook article, with the purple line being a vague guess based on a vague map in a old Texas monthly issue from the 1970s of the 1871 proposal to divide the state but with no details offered in the article.
So I'm wondering if you can tell me about the Isaac Van Zandt proposals since you specialize in that time period and he was one of the few politicians of the republic to give proposals on dividing the state, and Edmund J. Davis' 1871 attempt at dividing the state as well since I'm unable to find the exact legislation that defined the proposed borders for the 5 Texases.
Also I am perplexed by this proposal mentioned "On February 25, 1870, the Howard Bill, closely resembling earlier proposals in Congress, was introduced. It called for two territories, Jefferson east of the San Antonio River, and Matagorda west of the Colorado." the reason I'm perplexed is the San Antonio River is west of the Colorado and vice versa so how is this not a paradox? -- Thegunkid ( talk) 01:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
