Republic of Texas

The Republic of Texas was a sovereign state in North America.
==Description==
According to the Ghost Host, the last-known sighting of the pirate Jean Lafitte after he left his New Orleans home in disgrace was in the city of Galveston in the then-independent Republic of Texas. It is unclear what became of the Republic past that point, although there is evidence of a state of the United States of America called “Texas” in the 20th century.
==Behind the scenes==
The Republic of Texas was mentioned in passing in the 2006 story Mystery of the Manse: Part Three. In real life, it existed as a sovereign state between 1836 and 1846, whereas the historical Jean Lafitte is understood to have died in 1823.
