The Texas Nationalist Movement is a grassroots organization from - you guessed it - the great State of Texas. Their aim is to secede from the Union and form their own nation, and return Texas to the independence it had as the Republic of Texas in the 1830's. Their website claims to have more than 259,000 supporters, which is an impressive feat for a secession movement. The Independence group scored a major victory recently, where a 2/3 vote passed for the idea to go to a referendum on the Republican Party Platform. Though this group is not a Confederate group, it cannot be forgotten that the last time Texas Seceded from the Union, it was with the other Confederate States back in '61.
