Post #31322 by Goofyhoofy on the US Policy board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

Little appreciated fact- at the time Texans were living there at the sufferance of the Mexican government, ie Texas was part of Mexico,

True, mostly. Also underappreciated fact, they were there at the invitation of the Mexican government, who welcomed them because they would develop the sparsely populated territory and add to the tax roles. The Spanish and Mexican government issued free land grants to people who would move there (much as had been done earlier to persuade east coasters to move to Ohio and other Midwest territories), and they were swamped with “immigrants.”

Who then decided to stay there but not like Mexico so much. Definitely a case of “immigration gone wrong.”
