A LOT, yes I knew most of this story. However, it is the smaller details about Stephen F. Austin’s first settlement, the fork in the road, and the interviews that make the difference. My kids are now the second generation of Texas in my family, and I think it’s time for an independence road trip (sorry Chet, gonna have to be more than a “day trip”) to experience all the important sites both BIG and small.
Hey Chet and crew big fan for years now. Thanks for all you do!! I didn't know for one that the spark was the government wanting cannon back from militia just like the shot heard round the world. Your show always entertains and cheers me up when I need it. It especially cheers me up now to see the good life is still out there. That really means a lot to us that are not fortunate enough to be in the great state of Texas at this time. Sincerely the reading from the declaration of independence was very poignant right about now. Let Texas be a beacon for the rest of the country of welfare and happiness! "We WON'T be quiet now!" Haven't been down that way for a while now. Hopefully I can cure that soon. I love it in the lone star state! Thanks again 'pard And via con Dios to you!
My fourth great grandfather John Llewellyn was a member of the Velasco Blues and fought at San Jacinto. There is even a story by judge Cleveland, namesake of the city of Cleveland, Texas, in The Galveston Daily News that credits him with the capture of Santa Ana.
Antonio Fernandez that's an awesome piece of history ,thanks for sharing...my 5 X great grandfather James Black forged the Bowie knife for Jim Bowie that fought at the Alamo, his knives are at the Arkansas knife museum in Arkansas they also called them Arkansas tooth picks because some of them were long and skinny. ,, wiki pedia also has the story of James Black,I was always fascinated by his story 😊
My grandfather and his father were born in the Panhandle and grew up in Clarendon. One of my relatives Alfred G. Rowe owned a huge ranch and died on the Titanic. His story was so incredible I can’t believe they didn’t use it in the Titanic movie
bet your grandad had some stories about the Comanche. was sad they did not mention them in this video. this video makes it seem if americans and mexicans were fighting over texas. in reality, americans were invited to help mexicans fight the true masters of the land. Texas indepence wasn't won from mexico, that was just politics. We gained our independence from the comanche.
1:56 - "My Uncle Ran Foster" - (Pictured far right center). He was Stephen F. Austin's Lead Scout and personal friend. His father, John Foster is my 3rd G.G. Father and along with his other son Isaac, were a part of Austin's (Old 300 Colonist) that settled Texas. If not for Stephen F. Austin; Texas, as we know it today might not exist. John later established the Foster community school in Foster, TX. and the Foster High School in Fort Bend County, TX. was named after him and his son Randolph, including several historical markers. Stephen F. Austin and Randolph Foster are in an Oil Painting by Henry McArdle which hangs in the Texas State Capitol in Austin, TX. . (4:22) - Is that my "Uncle Ran" in his buckskin outfit ? My mother's lineage has blessed me with many historical & patriotic people that migrated from descendants of aristocrats to royals from the old country of England. From the Foster's - the Jones' - the Smith's and the Wotton's/Wootton's , which the latter also settled Brazos Co., TX. (back then it was Washington Co.) with S.F. Austin. My 2nd G.G. Father John H. Jones settled Boonville, TX. with Mordecai Boone, nephew of Daniel Boone. My 8th G.G. Mother Elizabeth (Townley) Smith's sister, Mary (Townley) Warner was the 2nd G.G. Mother of George Washington. Thanks for the Great Video, as it makes me So Proud of what my family had accomplished.
1:56 "The Settlement of Austin's Colony or The Log Cabin" (1875 ) - Stephen F. Austin is shown rallying his colonists against the Karankawa Indians around 1824, as an unnamed scout comes to the door to sound the alarm. The others include Land Commissioner Baron de Bastrop on the left, Secretary of the Colony Samuel L. Williams on the top right, Chief Scout Randolph Foster - (My Uncle Ran Foster) in front of Williams, Austin's Cook Simon at the window, and Surveyor Horatio Chriesman at Austin's feet. The original Oil Painting is by Henry McArdle, along with the first Dawn at the Alamo and they both hang in the Texas State Capitol in Austin, TX. .
My last name is Rusk, my ancestor Thomas Jefferson Rusk signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and led the charge at the Battle of San Jacinto. Jefferson J Rusk died defending the Alamo and there is a bronze plaque with his name on it in the chapel.
By “plantation politics,” did you mean the importation of slaves into Texas and the uprising that occurred when the Mexican government outlawed slavery? Wasn’t one of the conditions of being allowed to settle in the territory that the new comers learn Spanish and convert to Catholicism?
It was great to see all the significant places where Texas Independence started. I Appreciate the remakes of the areas where Texas started plus the short tour of San Jacinto. Great historic Video!
You know as well as I do, that Faneuil Hall has resounded with echoing applause of a denunciation of the Mexican war, as a murderous war-as a war against the free States as a war against freedom, against the negro, and against the interests of the workingman of this country-and as a means of extending that great evil and damning curse, negro slavery. The annexation of Texas was a conspiracy from beginning to end- a most deep and skillfully devised conspiracy-for the purpose of upholding and sustaining one of the darkest and foulest crimes ever committed by man. For my part, I would not care if, tomorrow, I should hear of the death of every man who engaged in that bloody war in Mexico, and that every man had met the fate he went there to perpetrate upon unoffending Mexicans. (Applause and hisses.) - Frederick Douglas
According to some old letters of co respondents of a Colonel Sherman and Captain Jesse W Billingsley in Houstons army, Houston wanted to retreat to the US to gather reinforcements, the Texiens all ready to take Santa Anna on, were angry with him, so the majority of officers got together behind Houstons back and were determined to head to San Jacinto regardless of Houstons orders. Houston had cought wind and changed plans to stay with the army. According to the corespondence, Jesse W Billingsley was the one to lead the charge and coin the battle cry "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad!" In the charge. There is a museum in San Jacinto with more information.
That’s not quite how the cannon was procured from Mexico.. my 5th great grandparents are Green and Sarah DeWitt, who petitioned the gov representative in San Antonio de Bexar, for the cannon. After he passed away in Monclova, responsibility fell to Sarah, She made the flag for the battle of Gonzales.
It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes?
You do realize the Texas revolt was one of the darkest events ever recorded on the pages of history right, with no comparison? Even the dismemberment of Poland stands little in comparison since we fought a war with Mexico over slavery. Have you read any of the reviews of the Texas revolution like the anti Texas legion, the war with Mexico reviewed, or the taking of Naboths vineyard? I’ll attach this here and I’ll leave the rest to you to decide “King Ahab did not instigate the murder of Naboth, but he coveted and when the deed was done and jezebel told him of the death, he collected his reward, and while the mortal punishment was deferred, at length the heavenly prophecy was fulfilled, and the blood of king Ahab and jezebel was licked up by dogs in the place were Naboths blood was licked.

Where were you when I first had to learn all of this? As always, your story telling abilities are amazing. You would have made a fantastic teacher. Thanks for this one....putting all these together was perfect.
Great episode! As only a 3rd generation Texan I was so proud when doing genealogical research to find a relative who died at the battle of Goliad (he was part of the San Antonio Greys) and 2 who were Austin's "Old Three Hundred". They were eventually moved and buried at the Capitol cemetery in Austin. Pettus, Texas is named after one of them. It brought distant ancestors to become real life heroes to me and never prouder to be a Texan.
My great great great Grandfather fought at San Jacinto, joined the Rangers afterword and survived the Mier expedition (drawing of the beans). Became the Bastrop County Clerk until he died of pneumonia at 37 yrs old. A story in my family says that Sam Houston stumbled upon my great great Grandfather when he was a toddler and had gotten lost and recognized him as his Father's son and took him home to his Mother (my great great Grandmother).
She'll be in Galveston so more visitors are paying money to help keep her shipshape. She didn't affect the battle of San Jacinto so I'm ok with the relocation. Glad that she's taken care of.
You should do a day tripper episode in Gonzales texas. Obviously for the start of the texas revolution but also the food the old haunted jail and independence park which my wife's family sold to Gonzales under the condition that all races would be able to enjoy the park.
My class and I enjoyed this so much! We were so proud that we had learned all of the things in this video this year! This video made it come alive to them. They did not want to leave the class today, but instead wanted to stay and discuss. Thank you!!

Definitely not, that common sewer to which all the filth of the slave states run too, the home of the murderer and thief, a territory filched from Mexico and occupied against the constitution and the laws of nations, against the interest of many of our northern states like Illinois and New York who declared to rather not see Texas annexed as inexpedient and dangerous to the union as whole. Texas is occupied by the most lawless and uncivilized of races, and most have committed little to any to achieve our national independence like most of the northern states population who is descended from those who fought at bunker hill. Texas is just an appendage of the old sinners from Maryland , Virginia and the other southern slave states used as a tool to make a preponderance against the north and northern industry, read the anti Texas legion and let the “true American and lover of his country” determine the facts and matter related to Texas. Like Lincoln said himself in his spot resolutions, if the facts of the matter are otherwise, say so, if not, then I shall know you are wrong and in the guilty of this unjust war with Mexico.
Greg Abbott,ruled to further ensure that no governmental entity can mandate masks, the following requirement shall continue to apply: No governmental entity, including a county, city, school district, and public health authority, and no governmental official may require any person to wear a face-covering or to mandate that other person wear a covering,” the executive order read.
Did the signers of the Declaration of Undependence really risk death? Sam Houston left to try to organize an army. The others remained to write a Cinstitutuon based on the US constitution but with extra guarantees for slavery included The worthles at Washington heard of the Alamo and Goliad and left on the Runaway Scrape Sam Houston beat Santa Ana and the worthless, including most big slave owners, returned to reap the rewards. For which others had fought...
War is full of heroes and cowards. We can't fail to honor the heroes because a few cowards are in the mix. But, yes, if the revolution had failed. Everyone of the signers was a marked man and a "traitor.". Same with our US declaration
186 years ago, the insurgent fort, The Alamo fell to federalist Mexican forces. It was and is a GREAT Mexican victory for all time. It's nice to see Texans celebrate a Mexican victory.
Roger Borroel I'm a Texan and I don't celebrate ANYTHING Santa Anna & his thugs did. The great Sam Houston was no question THE right leader for the Texas Independence heroes, but he made at least two mistakes.......he should have hung Santa Anna, along with Santa Anna's officers, and President/Governor/General Sam Houston should have backed the South during the War of Northern Aggression.
Santa Anna was a Butcher. He executed everyone that was in revolt against his Tyranny. He should have been strung up after he LOST the Battle of San Jacinto and the Mexican Armies retreated.
@@johnadams5489 Santa Anna was NOT a butcher, why do you and other so-called historians slander him? Yes, he was a conservative like trump & the NRA are, but at least he fought for his country...Mmmm, did trump ever serve his country that made him and his family rich? NO! As for the San Jacinto Massacre, he DID fail to put out guards, and this led to his fall at the Massacre of San Jacinto. Furthermore, Houston and his gang did NOT defeat the Mexican army, just the vanguard, led by your friend Santa Anny!
@@cornpop7176 Did the Mexicans really lose the war? There's only 40 MILLION here in every type of job one can think of. They hold offices and governorships...Mmmm, did they really lose the war?

Santa Anna Was A Butcher. He executed Texans that surrendered and burned their bodies. Open you eyes instead of your mouth.
Whites wanted to be boss and re enslave blacks and take as much land as they could after the war.

All of the above. Yes!
Yes. Austin's group called their slaves "indentured." Some later settlers wanted an active slave trade, now illegal.
Maybe, but Mexicans still held comanche as slaves after Mexico drove them from their lands.

Became the Bastrop County Clerk until he died of pneumonia at 37 yrs old. A story in my family says that Sam Houston stumbled upon my great great Grandfather when he was a toddler and had gotten lost and recognized him as his Father's son and took him home to his Mother (my great great Grandmother).
FJB!!!!!
Battleship Texas is currently in drydock in Galvelston for an extensive restoration. She sadly will not be returning to San Jacinto.
She'll be in Galveston so more visitors are paying money to help keep her shipshape. She didn't affect the battle of San Jacinto so I'm ok with the relocation. Glad that she's taken care of.
I enjoyed this a lot! Thank you.
Texas Forever. 🤠
You should do a day tripper episode in Gonzales texas. Obviously for the start of the texas revolution but also the food the old haunted jail and independence park which my wife's family sold to Gonzales under the condition that all races would be able to enjoy the park.
Great job! My family really loves your work.
My class and I enjoyed this so much! We were so proud that we had learned all of the things in this video this year! This video made it come alive to them. They did not want to leave the class today, but instead wanted to stay and discuss. Thank you!!
didnt ask
Hip hip hooray I love this guy I would marry him if I could I love you day trpper
Greatest state in the Union!
Agreed!
Texas Revolution? Which Independence? It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes? Jeezzz!!!
Definitely not, that common sewer to which all the filth of the slave states run too, the home of the murderer and thief, a territory filched from Mexico and occupied against the constitution and the laws of nations, against the interest of many of our northern states like Illinois and New York who declared to rather not see Texas annexed as inexpedient and dangerous to the union as whole. Texas is occupied by the most lawless and uncivilized of races, and most have committed little to any to achieve our national independence like most of the northern states population who is descended from those who fought at bunker hill. Texas is just an appendage of the old sinners from Maryland , Virginia and the other southern slave states used as a tool to make a preponderance against the north and northern industry, read the anti Texas legion and let the “true American and lover of his country” determine the facts and matter related to Texas. Like Lincoln said himself in his spot resolutions, if the facts of the matter are otherwise, say so, if not, then I shall know you are wrong and in the guilty of this unjust war with Mexico.
Hey Chet what generation Texan are you?
I'm the 7th generation to live in Texas. B

In your dreams Texas, Mexicos coming back for Texas before anything like that ever occurs, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already
Your show is awesome man! Love you bro!
This video was the best video ive ever watched
Excellent as Always!!!
I hate pledge week when your shows are not on.
Did the signers of the Declaration of Undependence really risk death? Sam Houston left to try to organize an army. The others remained to write a Cinstitutuon based on the US constitution but with extra guarantees for slavery included
The worthles at Washington heard of the Alamo and Goliad and left on the Runaway Scrape
Sam Houston beat Santa Ana and the worthless, including most big slave owners, returned to reap the rewards. For which others had fought...
War is full of heroes and cowards. We can't fail to honor the heroes because a few cowards are in the mix. But, yes, if the revolution had failed. Everyone of the signers was a marked man and a "traitor.". Same with our US declaration
A whole bunch of lie 😮
i had to watch this in class im subbing even though i didnt have headphone, put cc on, put it on 2x speed and didnt pay attention
186 years ago, the insurgent fort, The Alamo fell to federalist Mexican forces. It was and is a GREAT Mexican victory for all time. It's nice to see Texans celebrate a Mexican victory.
Roger Borroel
I'm a Texan and I don't celebrate ANYTHING Santa Anna & his thugs did. The great Sam Houston was no question THE right leader for the Texas Independence heroes, but he made at least two mistakes.......he should have hung Santa Anna, along with Santa Anna's officers, and President/Governor/General Sam Houston should have backed the South during the War of Northern Aggression.
Santa Anna was a Butcher. He executed everyone that was in revolt against his Tyranny. He should have been strung up after he LOST the Battle of San Jacinto and the Mexican Armies retreated.
@@johnadams5489 Santa Anna was NOT a butcher, why do you and other so-called historians slander him? Yes, he was a conservative like trump & the NRA are, but at least he fought for his country...Mmmm, did trump ever serve his country that made him and his family rich? NO! As for the San Jacinto Massacre, he DID fail to put out guards, and this led to his fall at the Massacre of San Jacinto. Furthermore, Houston and his gang did NOT defeat the Mexican army, just the vanguard, led by your friend Santa Anny!
Lost the battle, but won the war
@@cornpop7176 Did the Mexicans really lose the war? There's only 40 MILLION here in every type of job one can think of. They hold offices and governorships...Mmmm, did they really lose the war?
