Why 'Come and Take It' endures in the small Texas town of Gonzales

As UTSA distances itself from the saying, Gonzales residents explain how it's ingrained in their history.

Nothing weaker than when you say "Come and Take it" then willfully Forfeit it.

[@justin6888]

I agree. Them mother fuckers did "Come and Take It" lol.

I’m Mexican and this is my favorite part of TX history 😂

[@zaboha]

many people of Mexican descent served in the Texas army that flew that flag or uttered the phrase.

[@beachbum1523]

And many people of Irish descent fought for Mexico because they opposed slavery.

[@Bthecreator1]

Because they became defeated

⁠@@Bthecreator1late seeing all the comments but that’s what I was going to say. They were not getting along like that comment suggests. The Texas legend Gregario Cortez who was imprisoned there became a legend precisely because of different feelings. I’m related to one of the Sheriffs he unalived and it’s a crazy story 😅 I have the narration of his close deputy and I’m like this is a Western movie I’m reading only it wasn’t lol.. The first Sherrif was the not so liked one, but the second sherrif he hit was just from crossfire of posse trying to take him in for the first one because well.. yeah crime

[@dustin612]

I went to Gonzales because of the flag. They should change the flag to come and look at it because I couldn't take it.😂
