Republik Texas: Perbedaan antara revisi

Pada [[28 Februari]] [[1845]], [[CongressKongres ofAmerika the United StatesSerikat|US Congress]] passed a bill that would authorize the [[United States]] to annex the Republic of Texas. On March 1, [[President of the United States|US President]] [[John Tyler]] signed the bill. The legislation set the date for annexation for December 29 of the same year. Faced with imminent American annexation of Texas, [[Charles Elliot]] and Alphonse de Saligny, the British and French ministers to Texas, were dispatched to Mexico City by their governments. Meeting with Mexico's foreign secretary, they signed a "Diplomatic Act" in which Mexico offered to recognize an independent Texas with boundaries that would be determined with French and British mediation. Texas President [[Anson Jones]] forwarded both offers to a specially elected convention meeting at Austin, and the American proposal was accepted with only one dissenting vote. The Mexican proposal was never put to a vote. Following the previous decree of President Jones, the proposal was then put to a vote throughout the republic.
