The reason why I saying March 2nd is important is because its the day that TEXAS was declared free. Our Texas Declaration of Independence was made, seriously, overnight. It was urgent that we did it because when it was prepared, the Alamo in San Antonio was under seige by Santa Anna's army of Mexico.
On March 1, Convention of 1836 there was a committee of delegates were appointed to draft the document in place. The people on the committee was George C. Childress, Edward Conrad, James Gaines, Bailey Hardeman, and Collin McKinney prepared in record time. It was reviewed and adopted by the delegates (like in Washington, D.C.) of the convention the following day. You'll notice some of the delegates names are names of cities throughout Texas.
The document looks like the United States, signed 6 years earlier. All in all, it declared that Texas was independent meaning clear and free republic.
