So in 1812 there was a rebellion in Texas that was put down by a Royalist Army. But WI instead of the US declaring war on Britain choose instead to declare war of Spain and support the rebels with an idea to annexing the land for America. I'm assuming the US gets clowned for the first year or two but by 1814 puts together a force that could seize Florida and Texas. So with an earlier American Texas could we see an earlier drive into California or into Mexico proper itself?
