How original is California?

OK, I revberal my ae for this, but I grew up a Catholic kid in Bakersfield, and attended a lot of Catholic churches.  One of them was an adobe, abut 75 years old, and it served the original California ethnics around here, these folks went back four generations, pre civil war.  This community was likely an outgrowth of the Pacific mission system.  They were Hispanic, had inter-married with some Mexicans, but mostly Mexicans who came up with the missionaries..  The Catholic church was big, the Fransiscans still had the best universities.  Even today, attend a great university at Santa Clara, and go see remnants of the original ourt yard walls from pre-civil war.  And that remnant was second generation, likely.  The Spanish missionaries set up the California pacific trading and metropolis system, as it is; except for the gold rush influence.

Now this California system remained fairly dominant up until 1920,  We did not get frog marched into the union until WW2, really.  Our true participation in the union goes from 1932 until 1980, only 60 years.  New York;s participation is 250, and more years in the union, they were the union.  But in 1790, the California colonies were as advanced as anything back east, but it was blocked by the South American route.

How about Texas?

Folks, they never really joined, they are always Texans first..  And here is another note.  About 40% of the North American economy is the triangular trade between Mexico, Texas and California; fueled by the Pacific access to Asia, and the gulf oil system.  It extends to Louisiana, and almost up to Vancouver.  Self referential, two of the three trade flows will have a hand in the value added.

The Swamp will be swamped, sooner than later, and now is the best time to think it over.
