I have a 2-part question:

-what would it take to have the Republic of the Rio Grande succeed in independence from Mexico?
*I was thinking that perhaps a greater number of empresario grants for colonization from the Mexican government caused a larger Anglo population flow, and some Texans coming into the area as well, could help this out.

-if the RRG had joined the United States, after having gained independence, what would the state be named?
