Presidency of Thimoty Jay I
Sam Houston resigned after 1 year of the war due to illness and wounds from Spanish gunfire. Now a cousin of him ran for election and won. Thimoty Jay(5/5/8). By August 1st the war was back on and Thimoty Jay settled in with the 1st National Army to defend Houston.
Meanwhile the USA is kicking some British ass.
The army watched Houston and Dallas carefully. Small Spanish armies constantly tried to seize control and put the people under a King again. We held out until January. But wars cannot be won by sitting in an office watching small Spanish armies being tortured. Jay realized it, and started the Louisianian offensive. The first target was Chitimacha, a colony of less than 900. It was quickly seized and a colonist was sent to get the population to become more Texas-like. We introduced BBQ as well.
We then advanced into Caddo but it was too big to seize. But just north of that, Arkansas was small enough to shift rulers. And even further north was Quapaw, which was also seized and put under the rule of Texas.
Then the army moved into Wichita to secure the area. But 5,000 Spanish men arrived and the army had to quickly move into Dallas to stop the fall of the 2nd largest city in Texas. Small Spanish armies now roamed all throughout the region, and a game of Cat and Mouse had begun. And there must have been cheese somewhere because the mice just kept coming.
No serious battle occurred until the fall of Corpus Christi in late November 1778. The 1st National Army was quickly sent out to take the city back. Our 8,000 men quickly lowered the morale of the 5,000 Spanish men and the battle was won.
The 2nd National Army had spent its days traveling in the lands west of Texas to convince the Spanish the war was lost. But it would not come easily.
The small regiment of calvary reached Missouri, the most northern Spanish colony, and took it and flew the Texas flag over it.
But quickly a peace was signed, shocking the nation. Texas got 2 cities west of Houston and only a few days later the United States signed a treaty with the British and the USA got much of the south.
What next? Agriculture has become the prime source of income now. Will it collapse and will manufacturing take over? Will the French return? Will I cancel this AAR? Find out when I update again!
