“Texas claimed the land south of the North Fork and the United States claimed the land north of the South Fork.”

This is a neat phrase, but clear as mud. A little more explanation, with detailed maps, would improve the article.

But don’t lose the phrase. 2A00:23C3:E284:900:A87A:27FB:84FB:61F0 (talk) 17:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The US and Spain negotiated the border in the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819. When that treaty went into effect in 1821, the confusion about where the 100th meridian crossed the Red River would have been between the US & Mexico, right? The Texas Republic didn't exist until 1836, so it couldn't have been an original disputee, right? Or, do I have something wrong here? Jeffme (talk) 04:24, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
