@@alvarojacome3191 someone doesn't know their history if you knew it then you would know the "come and take it" moto wasn't in reference to the alamo it was in reference to the battle of Gonzales where 18 men held off 150 Mexican troops who demanded the return of the cannon which had been 'gifted' to the town by the Mexican Government.
@@alvarojacome3191 yes. 185 white, black, Hispanic men died in 1836 so that Texans forevermore could own slaves. Yes that was the entire point, and so that is why we remember the Alamo. Because you can’t be a good Texan unless you’re white and hate everyone not white, And think slavery was a wonderful idea
@@kingoftape you do know Mexico welcome Texans with open arm. Gave them land and to abide by the rules and not have slaves. But the Texans didn't want to follow anyone's rules. So if I ever see you, I'm going to punch you in your face
I had a friend in grammar School and he always used to say remember the Alamo. And I honestly never knew what he was talking about. 🤔 He was from Texas.
I moved to Texas from Cali because my mom got married , I was absolutely shocked on my first day of school, to put things in perspective I finished algebra in 7th grade in CA .. when I moved to Texas most 10th graders where still taking algebra 1 …. Teachers were just sitting in a corner reading a book while the class was just being loud and on their phones
it wasn't some jingoistic fight for personal freedoms - quite the opposite in fact! The whole reason the Texians wanted to fight Santa Anna was because he outlawed slavery in Mexico which they opposed...
@joey Leverton I thank you for the compliment for my state.I live in the town where our Lone Star Flag was designed,the town of Montgomery. A sleepy little village until about 15 years ago. There's history here, not as old as Mother England, something we can be proud of.lf you Google the town of Montgomery,l am sure you will find plenty.l always let people know, the summer months are sweltering especially east of the 98th meridian.Late March,early April are fine times with the bluebonnets,Indian paintbrush blooming.And I'm sure someone will greet you with a howdy.
I was born in ny but i stood in Alamo and i could feel the spirits of those brave men yes always remember the Alamo im proud of those men God bless their souls
The idiots you so admire were found under beds and mattresses by the Mexican troops trembling. They were executed for treason and terrorism. Just punishment for pirates!
It's well worth a bucket list. While you're there visit the Menger Hotel built on the battle field 20 years after the fall of the Alamo.. Very Rich in history
+Jaime Chavez I'm hoping that you are not siding with the Anglo folks who, if your are Mexican and now live in Texas, stole our land and maintain a stealth form of bigotry, hatred, and bigotry to this day!! Jaime, these people laugh at you when you think you have been acculturated and accepted into the white culture! No self-respecting Mexican would ever stand before an Anglo(white Texan) and shout remember the Alamo! But then again, there are those within the Mexican culture who "sell out" and are noted "venditos" and "tio tacos"! Hope you are not one of them.....
Gee I wonder where the Mexicans got that land in the first place, oh that is right conquistadors from Spain stole it from central American natives, and then Mexico stole it from Spain. Mexico fought a war against Texacian rebels and lost. They captured Santa Anna effectively the man in charge of Mexico, if had they wanted to they could have invaded Mexico virtually unopposed and claimed the whole damn thing (especially if the union gave support, at that point they probably would have). Instead they claimed what was rightfully theirs and declared it an independent nation. Just like the Mexicans had done from Spain just over a decade before. So get off your high horse you hypocrite fucktard.
Today is March 6, it was 186 years ago that the Alamo fell to federalist Mexican forces. It was and is a GREAT Mexican victory. Most of the Alamo defenders were armed dangerous illegal aliens from the States, causing trouble for the Mexican nation, However, it's nice to see all Texas & the world celebrate a Mexican victory!
REMEMBER THE ALAMO: A Mexican victory for all time! Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed moments later. Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost. And Bowie died while trying to hide under his mattress! Some trinity!
@@walterwhite1742 Yes he did, and it was Bowie, who was killed on his cot, covered with his blankets, crying. The Mexican eyewitness accounts stated that he died like a woman!
President Santa Anna dissolved the state of Tejas and absorbed it into the state of Coahuila, and introduced racial purity quotas that limited the number of new Anglo-American settlers in Texas. He also wanted to abolish slavery in all of northern Mexico, and he ripped up the constitution of 1824, declaring himself emperor, stylized as “Napoleon of the West.” Texas was one of 11 rebellions across Mexico that resulted, but was the only one to succeed. We did not initially seek independence but the restoration of the old constitution. After that became impossible, our new strategy was to try to be stably independent, and apply for statehood in the United States (which was initially rejected because at the time the United States did not want a war with Mexico). After it was accepted in 1845, the United States clashed with Mexican forces in disputed territory north of the Rio Grande, starting the Mexican-American War. The U.S. conquered Mexico City, and Mexico was forced to concede all land from Colorado to California, nearly completing the United States as we know it, and fulfilling Manifest Destiny.
Well I wouldn't believe the Mex version. I love whores also but they've moved the brothels deeper into Juarez. Travis was a troubled man but he believed in an independent Texas. And every on knew the consequences of revolting against Santa Ana. Look what that pig did to Zacatecas. The U.S. version is built on myth and heroics similar to the boy heroes of the Mexican War or the dreamed up Juan Diego of Mexican lore.
The vast fields of the Ukraine will only pertain to Europe for the U.S. will not commit to Ukraine's defense without Nato. And they're unwilling to help because Europe depends on Russia's natural gas. As so far as cinema history, Holloywood for years has exploited War as a way to stir the audience and their pocketbook. Walt told the story of one man and the legend that surrounded him. He didn't die swinging old Betsy at a bunch of Mexicans nor did he blow up the arsenal after being lanced. He most likely surrenderd and was executed after many of the Generals wanted Crockett to be spared. Santa Ana thought it would send a message of fear.It back fired. The Siege of the Alamo took 13 days. San Jacinto took under 30 minutes and the Texians were as ruthless as the Mexicans.
+GIOVANNI1955C The battle at the Alamo was not a siege of 13 days for keeripe sakes! The time it took to dispense the defenders of the Alamo was under an hour! The delay of time before the final surge was a tactical move by Santa Ana to wear down the defenders as he had known that the defenders were a miserable lot lacking in training, food, dry powder, clothing and a will to fight...! The leaders, Travis, Crockett and Bowie were cowards! Travis took the cowardly way out and committed suicide, Crockett was assassinated, Bowie was killed in his quarters fearing to confront the action outside even though he was reportedly ill.
Remember that there were 253 Alamo defenders, over 90% of them were dangerous armed illegal invaders from the states. They came to rob, rape and steal, and they did! The Texas War of 1836 was just a simple old land grab by illegal aliens from the states. Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed moments later. Ttavis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost. Bowie died while hiding under his bed mattress-what a heroic trinity! The San Jacinto Massacre did not destroy the Mexican army, only its vanguard of 1200 men. It was General Filisola who ordered the rest of the army back to Matamoros, to be resupplied for the next Texas campaign.
Remember that Crockett surrendered to the Mexicans AFTER the battle; Travis committed suicide at the north wall to avoid being capture, and Bowie was hiding under his bed covers, or his mattress, and in this condition, he was killed by the soldiers. Some heroes.....!
Santa Anna was not just the president he was a dictator! Texas was not the only Mexican state in Rebellion, there were five others. Restoration of the 1824 Constitution is what was wanted. Texas and other states would be content Mexican citizens if this happened. He also murdered hundreds of prisoners at Goliad.After the murders and the continuing instability and rebellions that continued for years in Mexico. Texans and Tejanos decided Independence was better. Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
The Alamo was quickly overwhelmed by Mexican troops, the skirmish only lasted between 30 to 45 minutes. that's why Santa Anna called it, "It was but a small affair" because it was! Travis committed suicide at the north wall when he saw all was lost, and Crockett surrendered, only to be killed in moments...some heroes!
+Sam Houston You're right. Mexicans did not fight against slavery! They tried to prevent it in Mexico(Tejas) according to their constitution of 1929 which abolished slavery. There was no compromise as it was clearly spelled out in their constitution. Imperialistic proclivities, greed, self-interests of Texian leaders led to the battle of the Alamo in a roundabout way as it just so happen.
Ger Vas bro general Santa Anna was a rascist against the common people of Mexico he was a Spaniard Mexican aka. Criollo criollos also started the independence movement and needed those of Lower status to help them aka meztisos indegenious and africanos in the end they only prospered when Mexico Owened califas Texas etc is meztisos Indegenious people where there maids house keepers etc we where there slaves that’s why Zapata hated upper class Mexicans like general Santa Anna rascist the criollos who governed and owned parts of the USA once a Spaniard allways one
This sounds just like the the times when American Indians fought for there country and those who lost were the bad guys. Mexicans fought and won their independence from European invaders, lost. This is a day of victory for some who just wanted to keep their homes.
Mexico was settled by those European "invaders". Mexico didn't even exist before the Europeans came. It was only settled by nomadic tribes and the Aztec Empire.
Let's see here Roger: 253 Illegal armed aliens eh....History has it as one-hundred or so defenders of the Alamo, five of which were Mexicans.What you are saying then is that of 100 or so defenders 253 were Mexicans. Do you need remediation in math or what.
@@rogercortez2509 Never stated that, YOU Cortez! Get your act together! There were 253 armed and dangerous illegal aliens in the Alamo...check your sources boy.
Did you all know that Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed moments later AFTER the battle ended? That Travis committed suicide at the north, when he saw all hope was lost, and Bowie died under his covers in bed, never using his knife. You all s/remember the Alamo because it is a MEXICAN victory for all time, just like at Goliad too. They were fighting illegal armed Americans who came to northern Mexico to rape rob and steal....and they did! Some heroes.....!
Roger Borroel William travis died with a musket bullet between his eyes while commanding, bowie dies after killing 4 men on his death bed,crockett death is ify but killed 20 mexican soldiers in the alamo mexico killed 180 texans,texans killed 650-700 you half to understand this stuff before commenting
YES! Remember the Alamo, it was a Mexican VICTORY forever! I like to see Texans and Americans celebrate this Mexican victory EVERY year on March 6, in San Antonio, Texas! Nice!

And every on knew the consequences of revolting against Santa Ana. Look what that pig did to Zacatecas. The U.S. version is built on myth and heroics similar to the boy heroes of the Mexican War or the dreamed up Juan Diego of Mexican lore.
The vast fields of the Ukraine will only pertain to Europe for the U.S. will not commit to Ukraine's defense without Nato. And they're unwilling to help because Europe depends on Russia's natural gas. As so far as cinema history, Holloywood for years has exploited War as a way to stir the audience and their pocketbook. Walt told the story of one man and the legend that surrounded him. He didn't die swinging old Betsy at a bunch of Mexicans nor did he blow up the arsenal after being lanced. He most likely surrenderd and was executed after many of the Generals wanted Crockett to be spared. Santa Ana thought it would send a message of fear.It back fired. The Siege of the Alamo took 13 days. San Jacinto took under 30 minutes and the Texians were as ruthless as the Mexicans.

The battle at the Alamo was not a siege of 13 days for keeripe sakes! The time it took to dispense the defenders of the Alamo was under an hour! The delay of time before the final surge was a tactical move by Santa Ana to wear down the defenders as he had known that the defenders were a miserable lot lacking in training, food, dry powder, clothing and a will to fight...! The leaders, Travis, Crockett and Bowie were cowards! Travis took the cowardly way out and committed suicide, Crockett was assassinated, Bowie was killed in his quarters fearing to confront the action outside even though he was reportedly ill.
+GIOVANNI1955C
he was a "bottom feeder and "shyster" of a lawyer. Find and read what little history of him exists. You find it not to favorable.
Travis was from South Carolina!!
Forget the alamo.
Remember the almo, increase ice budget
Phil Collins remembers the Alamo
Viva México, viva Juan cortina!
Remember that there were 253 Alamo defenders, over 90% of them were dangerous armed illegal invaders from the states. They came to rob, rape and steal, and they did! The Texas War of 1836 was just a simple old land grab by illegal aliens from the states. Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed moments later. Ttavis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost. Bowie died while hiding under his bed mattress-what a heroic trinity! The San Jacinto Massacre did not destroy the Mexican army, only its vanguard of 1200 men. It was General Filisola who ordered the rest of the army back to Matamoros, to be resupplied for the next Texas campaign.
Remember that Crockett surrendered to the Mexicans AFTER the battle; Travis committed suicide at the north wall to avoid being capture, and Bowie was hiding under his bed covers, or his mattress, and in this condition, he was killed by the soldiers. Some heroes.....!
Yeah, that why there were at least nine dead Mexican soldiers around Bowie's bed. You're ate up by the DA!!!
Where did you get your facts from? OMG are you an idiot.
Dude, Travis was the first to get shot and Bowie was bed ridden.
Build the wall!
YOU build the wall lazy! It's your tax money that's gonna pay for it, not Mexico...HA! HA! trump fooled you dummies AGAIN!
Santa Anna was not just the president he was a dictator! Texas was not the only Mexican state in Rebellion, there were five others. Restoration of the 1824 Constitution is what was wanted. Texas and other states would be content Mexican citizens if this happened. He also murdered hundreds of prisoners at Goliad.After the murders and the continuing instability and rebellions that continued for years in Mexico. Texans and Tejanos decided Independence was better. Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
The Alamo was quickly overwhelmed by Mexican troops, the skirmish only lasted between 30 to 45 minutes. that's why Santa Anna called it, "It was but a small affair" because it was! Travis committed suicide at the north wall when he saw all was lost, and Crockett surrendered, only to be killed in moments...some heroes!
One reason to remember the Alamo is it tells us what real men from TEXAS should be and can be!!!
Not welfare,non working, men!!
Well said, God Bless Texas!
no
Never forget how Mexicans fought against the slavery of the yankee and fought against the theft.
+Sam Houston
You're right. Mexicans did not fight against slavery! They tried to prevent it in Mexico(Tejas) according to their constitution of 1929 which abolished slavery. There was no compromise as it was clearly spelled out in their constitution. Imperialistic proclivities, greed, self-interests of Texian leaders led to the battle of the Alamo in a roundabout way as it just so happen.
Ger Vas Bro independence and the Alamo was out of European Mexicans wanting more general Santa Anna was a criollo a Mexican soania
Ger Vas bro general Santa Anna was a rascist against the common people of Mexico he was a Spaniard Mexican aka. Criollo criollos also started the independence movement and needed those of Lower status to help them aka meztisos indegenious and africanos in the end they only prospered when Mexico Owened califas Texas etc is meztisos Indegenious people where there maids house keepers etc we where there slaves that’s why Zapata hated upper class Mexicans like general Santa Anna rascist the criollos who governed and owned parts of the USA once a Spaniard allways one
@@rogercortez2509 1929 is a little late considering slavery was abolished in the states in 1865...... lmao do u even logic?
Remember that time Mexico kicked our ass and we stole a wooden leg to become a room country?
no.
Hahaha yes.
This sounds just like the the times when American Indians fought for there country and those who lost were the bad guys. Mexicans fought and won their independence from European invaders, lost. This is a day of victory for some who just wanted to keep their homes.
Mexico was settled by those European "invaders". Mexico didn't even exist before the Europeans came. It was only settled by nomadic tribes and the Aztec Empire.
It was after 1836 that they won their independence from France

There were 253 ILLEGAL ARMED aliens form the States in the Alamo, and 1/2 of them ran from the walls of the Alamo...some heroes!
Let's see here Roger: 253 Illegal armed aliens eh....History has it as one-hundred or so defenders of the Alamo, five of which were Mexicans.What you are saying then is that of 100 or so defenders 253 were Mexicans. Do you need remediation in math or what.
@@rogercortez2509 Never stated that, YOU Cortez! Get your act together! There were 253 armed and dangerous illegal aliens in the Alamo...check your sources boy.
@@SKY-jv9ue Cry about it. Let’s go Texas, YEEHAW
@@walterwhite1742 It's "Hee-Haw, not YEEHAW!
Remember the Alamo unless you have Alzheimer's.
Did you all know that Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed moments later AFTER the battle ended? That Travis committed suicide at the north, when he saw all hope was lost, and Bowie died under his covers in bed, never using his knife. You all s/remember the Alamo because it is a MEXICAN victory for all time, just like at Goliad too. They were fighting illegal armed Americans who came to northern Mexico to rape rob and steal....and they did! Some heroes.....!
Roger Borroel William travis died with a musket bullet between his eyes while commanding, bowie dies after killing 4 men on his death bed,crockett death is ify but killed 20 mexican soldiers in the alamo mexico killed 180 texans,texans killed 650-700 you half to understand this stuff before commenting
Roger, I believe you have "sheet" for brains!
Roger listening to Mexican folk stories and quoteing em like empirical fact.......
Yeah. That's why to this day Americans are trying to sneak into Mexico. Because they are such winners.
Dude, learn some Texas history. It was not a race war. And the Texans were loyal to Mexico until Santa Anna. 5 minutes of research
Texas independence 😂😂😂
I bet if Mexico took back Texas today they wouldn’t call it Mexican independence 😂
YES! Remember the Alamo, it was a Mexican VICTORY forever! I like to see Texans and Americans celebrate this Mexican victory EVERY year on March 6, in San Antonio, Texas! Nice!
Roger Borroel But Mexico lost every bit of land in the US and was run by a dictator.
Did they really lose? The SW is still northern Mexico, and now we have a dictator in office, trump the chump!
On target here Roger.....on target!
Sadly, the US kicked Mexico’s but real hard and lost all of its northern territories. Cry about it
god bless the US of A
