      There’s a legend that Travis drew a line in the dirt with the sword, saying that anybody who crossed it would join him and stay. All did. Only one later left, purportedly a Frenchman named Moses Rose.

    I remember something that Sgt. Ward says later in the film. It was apparently a paraphrase of something one of the defenders said that read in The Blood of Heroes by James Donovan.
    "If we succeed, the country is ours. If we fail, death in the cause of liberty and humanity is not cause for shuddering. Out rifles are by our side. We know what awaits us, and are prepared to meet it."
    It's men like them that make me proud to be a born Texan.

    Speaking as an Alabamian, history has been far too unkind to William Barret Travis-- a brave, intelligent man from Conecuh County with nothing to lose, faced impossible odds and despite being executed at the Alamo, refused to surrender to a brutal dictator. He grew up a lot in a matter of days and proved he had courage under fire. Sure, he had no business as a military leader and had a lot of mortal failings (as we all do) but he died fighting for what he believed to be right.
    He is my favorite Alabamian and I'm proud to call him my fellow statesman.

      He abandoned his young wife and children in Alabama, leaving her to deal with his debts. He did so much whoring that he eventually contracted syphilis. He was a hothead and foolish leader who stayed in an indefensible position where his entire command was wiped out. Alabama has produced better men than Travis and I wouldn't want any my daughters to have anything to do with someone like him. That said, to each his own.

      Are any battles truly glorious, considering all the pain and death surrounding them, both of the soldiers fighting them, and also the innocent civilians - men, women, and children - who are all too often victimized by them?
      And remember, every soldier, no matter which side he is on, has a family that will grieve over him if he is killed. Where is the glory in that?
      I have an uncle who fought in Nam, and he told me stories of sorrow and death, and how the war effected both the soldiers and the civilians, and I have seen how it has effected him personally, and I'm sorry, but I can't see anything glorious about war.

    My ancestor on my Mother's side came to the Republic Of Texas in 1839 from England, and proclaimed "I've made Texas My Home, and never shall I abandon her lonely star.", and to this day the Gibbard family remains in Texas... and tho I've had the misfortune of growing up in Minnesota, where my Father's family is from, I will forever be linked to, and take pride in the fact, that my Family are Native Texans, I am... a Texan... these men, the 185 men who fought and died in the walls of the Alamo... are my people... and as Texans it is the solom pride that must be ours to have laid so costly a sacrifice apon the alter of freedom.

    Colonel Travis is the girls jump Maureen's fed drivers text included pig wagons with jeep. He uses it across street with my horse theves .he uses milk money truck also included speaker of the house by tellulahs father like mobile Alabama. It is the truck they called you in by laredo's cavalry units to decide the license span of testing passages .did this include rural free delivery Carriers because they did break rural free delivery Carriers legs in reeny. Did they by scoping past federal fire circuits jump this license would be speaker of the House more by tellulahs guy by camielle or Camilla Harris by Maureen's

    It would be interesting to know what Travis actually said to the men of the Alamo the day before the attack, if he even gave a speech at all.
    It would be interesting to know exactly how Crockett died, whether did he die fighting, or was he captured and then executed by Santa Anna, yet neither manner of death makes him any more or less of a hero.
    And it would be interesting to know the names of all the Alamo defenders, for according to the last thing I heard, only 189 men have been identified.
    The Alamo is a great story, not only because it involves fighting for freedom, and sacrifice, but also because it is so shrouded in mystery, which leaves a lot to our imagination.

    I think most people think the Alamo defenders were old white southerners, like John Wayne. They were not. They were young- mostly. And Anglo- Texians , And Tejanos- Mexican Texans. All opposing a tyrannical , centralists government in Santa Anna. Study history and the facts.

    Did you know that Mexico had Texas before the Texicans(American that have immigrated to Texas)? Mexico had set rules that the American immigrants had to follow, but the Texicans did not follow these rules. The rules are: No slaves, Learn Spanish, and convert to Catholiticism. The Americans did not follow these rules, so Mexico didn't want to take any of this, and tried to push the Texicans out. This wasn't a stomping on their freedoms, this wasn't an act of injustice, but an act of securing the national integrity.

      Pre revolt Mexico was the best example of how far down the drain a liberal government can go.. Ruled by a dictator they hailed as a hero, until they realised he would fuck them too. Strange that Mexican documents show slave auctions occuring in Mexico all the way till 1883.. Texas doesn't accept "rules for thee, not for me". And it really doesn't have anything to do with fairness at all, we just hate rules.

    It was another case of unskilled milita fighting a skilled army. Like in the America Revoltion. A lot of the British armies victories were because the farmers did not have the skills of a soldier. The Alamo defenders were true patriots, but as Patton said, " You are not in the business to die for your country, but make that other SOB die for his." They should have destoried the Alamo, took the guns and sliced the Mexican Army to pieces. They would have crippled the army with such a long supply line. The one thing Santa Ana did that the Brits did was punish every one, because he could not tell the difference. Doing this he had Texans and Teho's fighting him. There was not a sea of white faces in the Alamo, but a bi racial army. Still the best Alamo movie every. Who every knew David Crockett played the violin. lol

    What is your point? You know nothing more than anyone else about what happened there. The resulting state is far better off than if it had remained part of Mexico. You seem hung up on slavery? Is that all you think about? Slavery has been gone more than 100 years- if you live forever will you still be whining about slavery 100 years from now, How about 200 years from now or 1000?

      Texas was a legally recognized province by the Mexican government and the Americans who lived there agreed to become Mexican. However, when Santa Anna's coup against the government was successful, he rescinded the recognition. Houston and company refused to bow down before a dictator.

    The Trinity of Crockett, Bowie and Travis, how did they really died at the Alamo? Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost. Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiery, only to be executed within moments, and Bowie was found hiding under his bed covers, then killed. It's nice to see that Texas celebrates a Mexican victory every year. BTW, there needs to be a monument at Alamo Plaza in remembrance of the 60 Mexican soldiers who died there defending their homeland against armed illegal aliens from the states.

    • @televisor9506

      I must assume that you think that you were actually there during that battle or that you choose to believe what that murderous liar Santa Anna wrote or perhaps the falsehoods that his soldados reported to him after the battle since they were likely too afraid to truthfully state to him about what actually happened. Santa Anna was a butcher who was even very cruel to his own fellow countrymen.Travis' slave Joe, who was beside him on that rampart when he was killed, reported that Travis was shot directly in the forehead. In any case, how could Travis have committed suicide by shooting himself through the forehead while holding a rifle in such a way as to be able to do so? And, William B. Travis and David Crockett were no cowards either. If so, they and the rest of the brave Alamo garrison had time to either escape or beg to be allowed to surrender. Regarding James Bowie, who happens to be a distant relative of mine, he was certainly no coward, especially considering his previous exploits. He was on his deathbed due to sickness- typhoid fever and/or tuberculosis. And, it's said that Crockett gave Jim two pistols since he was probably already much too weak by March 6th to wield his famous knife. If he wasn't already dead due to his illness when Mexican troops stormed his room, I'm sure that Jim took a couple of them out before being shot and bayonetted to death. I've also noticed that you've conveniently failed to ever mention the numerous brave Mexican Tejanos who fought along side of those "treasonous" Norte Americanos, "treasonous" because many of them had become Mexican citizens. The indigenous Tejanos were fighting with them inside of those walls because they were also opposing "The Napoleon Of The West" dictator Santa Anna's tyranny. So from all of the many skewed, if not ridiculous, "comments" which you've made here and elsewhere about the battle of the Alamo, it's quite obvious what your personal revisionist agenda is trying to promote... and it's all quite silly and nonsensical (only sixty soldados killed?). And no, I was not there during the battle, if so, I would have died fighting along side of my comrades inside of those walls. However, since you obviously weren't there either, I CHOOSE to believe what I'm sure are much more likely scenarios derived from much more likely truthful and factual sources, such as the very similar statements and testimonies later made by a number of reliable Mexican soldados, who breached the Alamo walls, as well as what the surviving women, children, and other non-combatants of the Alamo said about what they eye-witnessed during that horrific siege. I proudly live in Texas and I am extremely grateful to those great men in the Alamo who gave their lives to enable me to do so.
