Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Texas

Each of the fifty US states is like a separate country. Its area, population, and economy are comparable to those of other independent nations. 

Yet, the histories of each state, while different, all share broad commonalities. 

However, one state has a history that is totally different from all the rest. 

Learn more about the history of Texas and how an independent republic became one of the United States on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Earlier this month, the White House unveiled a new initiative aimed at trying to serve and protect American consumers: Time is Money.
