You said,"25% of the population of texas in the 1800s were saves, picking that sweet cotton in easter texas"

Would that be close to Palestine, Texas or Bethleham, Texas??? Also..think about how many people were actually IN Texas at that time..we were still a frontier...goodness you are making me laugh tonight...
