Excerpt from the Texas Declaration of Independence, Original Manuscript,
March 2, 1836, Page 9-Courtesy of the Texas State Library & Archives Commission
The necessity of self-preservation, therefore, now decrees our eternal political separation.
We, therefore, the delegates with plenary powers of the people of Texas, in solemn conven-
tion assembled, appealing to a candid world for the necessities of our condition, do hereby resolve
and declare, that our political connection with the Mexican nation has forever ended, and that
the people of Texas do now constitute a free, Sovereign, and independent republic, and are fully
invested with all the rights and attributes which properly belong to independent nations; and,
conscious of the rectitude of our intentions, we fearlessly and confidently commit the issue to the
decision of the Supreme arbiter of the destinies of nations.
Richard Ellis,
President of the Convention and Delegate from Red River
