 * Texas **

By: CB __** I.Hisotry **__ Here are some historical events that happened in Texas. In 1519, a explorer Alson Alvarez de Pineda of spain mapped the Texas Coast. He was the first European in Texas. He also beileved that Florida was not an island. In 1835, the Texas Revolution began. Texas battled back to beat the Mexican force and won their independance from Mexico. In 1836, Texas finally declared their independance from Mexico because Texas won the Texas Revolution. If you have heard about bad disasters, listen to this one. In April 1947 a ship explosion in City Harbor killed about 500 people. Also about 3,000 people were injured! Finally in 1994 Texas was 2nd in worlds population with 18.4 billion people, now talk about alot of people. Texas passed New York which had 18.2 billion people currently in the state. Yes, i know that is alot of people. I would like to visit Texas because of all the interesting stuff there is to do there. For an educational trip, I would like to visit the Alamo. I think that would be exciting because that is where the Texas Revolution was. Then I would like to see the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. I would enjoy seeing all the spaceships there. I wanna go see some interesting animals so I'm gonna go visit Sea World. I want to go have some fun, so I'm gonna go to the Fair Park. They have amusment parks, museums and the Cotton Bowl Stadium! To finish off all my fun I would like to go to Six Flags Theme Park. I love to ride all the exciting rides they have to offer there. Those are some places I would like to visit. **
