Word.
The Texan Revolution formed from the anger of these white settlers in Texas, which was still part of Mexico at this time. They had moved from slave-owning southern part of the US and they became upset because the president of Mexico, Vicente Guerrero, abolished slavery. Mexico actually attempted to restrict American immigration into Mexico-owned Texas! The leaders of the Mexican centralist forces that defeated the Texan revolutionary forces at the Alamo were against slavery. If you ever hear a Texan say “Remember the Alamo!” just remember that the Texan settlers that died there had a vested interest in maintaining control of Texas territory so they could continue to use slave labor.
forget the alamo.
I’ve lived in Texas my whole life and am extremely proud of my Texas heritage. We are required to take a year of Texas history in school. When we learned about the Alamo, they NEVER told us about any of this.
Yeah, the south has a history of erasing history from their textbooks, there was a big push in the 50′s to revise their history books and distort things so that they push the south in a heroic light.
Mother fucker
Oh remember the Alamo- Remember they were fighting for the right to “own” other humans and treat them as chattel.
I went to a black owned primary school and it wasn’t until i went to public school that i was told to remember the alamo in any good light. But feel free to remember it as a bunch of racists getting their ass beat, including davy crockett who CAME FROM TENESSEE, WASN’T EVEN INVOLVED and also got his ass beat.
