The Alamo was a dry run for the civil war. Factually, the Alamo is where the Mexican government smashed domestic terrorists and insurrectionists who were fighting for the institution of slavery. This should be a landmark against the inhumanity of southern heritage.
Nope: Santa Anna was confronted with the problem of disposing the dead. He directed the Alcalde, Ruiz, to have built two immense wooden pyres. These were located on what was then known as the Alameda, or Cottonwood grove roadway. It is now a wide portion of East Commerce Street. The northeast end of one of the pyres extended into the eastern portion of the front yard of what is now the Ludlow House. The other pyre was in what is now the yard of Dr. Ferdinand Herff Sr.’s old Post, or Springfield House. I have had both pyres’ positions positively located by those who saw the corpses of the slain placed there. Two days later, only a few skulls and limbs were left, and after being exposed for several more days, a small pit was dug in what is now the Ludlow front yard where the remains were buried. The wind had dispersed the remaining ashes.

The government pees on the memory of the Alamo every time they let an illegal cross that border or let someone speak Spanish or any other language other than English in the USA.
All you people calling the cenotaph a piece of history should know that it was commissioned in 1936, a full century after the battle of the Alamo. It's not as historic as you think it is. You could just replace it with another piece of masonry if it's destroyed.
The city of San Antonio has lost their damn minds and are being unreasonable. The cenotaph is a part of San Antonio's past history. They're just too cheap to want to take care of such an important landmark. That would be like New York City not wanting to help with the upkeep of the World Trade Center Reflection Pools, even though it sits right in the heart of Downtown Manhattan.
I think we usually forget an important thing about The Alamo. There were four slaves the Mexican army freed from their captivity. Travis was a slave owner. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. If they won against Mexico, it would have been a win for slavery in 1836.

Yesterday's heroes, today's villains...

In 1835, Mexico passed a centralizing constitution abolishing slavery...' "The Alamo memorializes the first battle of the American Civil War, a full twenty-five years before the battle of Fort Sumter. It is the first Confederate monument to slavery." History... Don't act like you din't know, Texas. God bless ya'll anyway.
I support Texas's maintainance of the cenotaph, but I also agree that we have to be honest about the Alamo. Texans need to plainly admit that the Texas Revolution was largely about slavery. I don't agree with taking down the monuments or slandering the revolutionaries. But it's just foolishness to expunge any mention of slavery, as though not mentioning it somehow makes the fight legitimate.

Cities will only get poorer the more we keep building neighborhoods and suburbs like we do. Single family home neighborhoods don’t bring in enough tax revenue to pay for the infrastructure.
So... you've decided that we all should only live in apartments and condos. How generous of you. How about cities and states stop wasting tax dollars.
@@markgoostree6334 I didn’t decide anything. The numbers don’t lie. The way we build is not sustainable if only because we can’t afford it.
The biggest biggest budget item after health care is the police force in most municipalities. @@markgoostree6334
Unfortunately too many Californians live here in now. If you dont understand big red and barbacoa you should leave.(edit) There's also to many people from Austin moving to San Antonio. They say we are mean in SA I say we aren't fake or put on earth to please out of towners, we don't claim to roll with them Go Spurs Go. Bob Wills is still King
Preach it brother!
"Unfortunately to many Californians live here in now." Written like the well educated republican you must be...
@barrydavey7188 if you didn't know San antonio is and has been a big democrat city. It's Californians that are the problem.
@@barrydavey7188You are a pedantic bore. 🥱
@@barrydavey7188 go back to California
It saddens me San Antonio is dying out more and more 😢from everything I know about it looking more like new York
Not it’s not wtf 😂
🙄
Have you actually been there lately?
@@Lone_Star_Proud yes during fiesta it needs a lil adjustment but still looks the same from when I was a kid
So it's looking much better???
we we need to remember our past so in order to remember the futur 2:30 e
Only problem is, no one knows what a cenotaph is.
As long as it doesn't turn into another woke Austin .
SA is Blue, as Houston, Dallas
Give it to the State of Florida. DeSantis will protect it.
Give that many everything he needs. A man of honor and it's about honor. Not one thin dime will be misspent if he's in charge.
The Elmo has one of the only things I liked about Texas.
The government pees on the memory of the Alamo every time they let an illegal cross that border or let someone speak Spanish or any other language other than English in the USA.
The Abbot administration will move the cenotaph and The Alamo to some suburban location and charge admission.
This monument does not mark actual cremation site. It is the product of myths, not history.
It will be taken down soon
❤
Monument to battle to keep slaves…..
WTH Texas?
Oh gees it’s just fine
WHY?
WUT IN TARNATION!!!
Its our history leave it alone
All you people calling the cenotaph a piece of history should know that it was commissioned in 1936, a full century after the battle of the Alamo. It's not as historic as you think it is. You could just replace it with another piece of masonry if it's destroyed.
The city of San Antonio has lost their damn minds and are being unreasonable. The cenotaph is a part of San Antonio's past history. They're just too cheap to want to take care of such an important landmark. That would be like New York City not wanting to help with the upkeep of the World Trade Center Reflection Pools, even though it sits right in the heart of Downtown Manhattan.
Good move
I think we usually forget an important thing about The Alamo. There were four slaves the Mexican army freed from their captivity. Travis was a slave owner. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. If they won against Mexico, it would have been a win for slavery in 1836.
They did win against Mexico.
@@dannytallmage2971 Is that why they used to say the motto "Remember, The Alamo!"? Because they won? And Davy Crockett got out alive and became the first senator of Texas, I guess?
@@ignatzmuskrat3000 so to be clear in your mind the US lost WW2 because of Pearl Harbor. Do you have a high school education? I suppose the US lost the Spanish American war to because of remember the Maine.
They didn’t win the battle of the Alamo and that is what he was talking about, not the whole war. So his statement is accurate.
@@brianphillips7696 no clearly not. Because the cause he’s being a whiny little dork about did prevail. I guess George Washington didn’t win the revolutionary war since he lost a bunch of battles. Combined IQ of you two isn’t even brushing 100.
Good idea for the city, they don’t need a fight with the state
No No wayyyyyyyyy k,,
* pronounced bow y not booy 😂
oh no it's something that lets people be proud of America and our warriors. some people did some things to statues like that. instead of the state being able to protect it now the federal government that has no pride will be able to take it and put it someplace. what do they have to hide. the fact that this country was full of Patriots that wanted to be free
LOL, your grasp of history is truly hilarious...
For those that are bothered by TEXAS History, then y'all should Leave.
Don't Mess With TEXAS.
It's in better hands with the State then that lunatic left city council.
Something's off.
Yesterday's heroes, today's villains...
'For a full decade (1825-1835)...generals and politicians in Mexico City witnessed with growing concern the expansion of racialized plantation slavery in Texas. In 1835, Mexico passed a centralizing constitution abolishing slavery...'
"The Alamo memorializes the first battle of the American Civil War, a full twenty-five years before the battle of Fort Sumter. It is the first Confederate monument to slavery."
History...
Don't act like you din't know, Texas.
God bless ya'll anyway.
So the Egyptians built pyramids that can last thousands of years, and with all of our “advances”, we can’t make a statue that lasts 100 years.
Lol imagine comparing two ton blocks of stone to a sculpted piece of marble and thinking you made a point, silly goober
The Egyptian pyramids have disintegrated considerably since they were built. They use to be clad in white shells.
Are the transpeople represented on this monument?
I hope not!
How does this affect the LGBTQ+ community?
Who cares?
Just Texas being Texas. Talks trash about every other state but can’t even run a single city.
😂
The fact that they have constitutional carry automatically makes it better than most states lmao
@@everydaychemistry6231 kingtwisted can stay in California.
@@Crimepaysaskapolitician What’s it like have California being the boogeyman while you subsist off of its GDP?
You ever been here? No? Maybe stop talking then
Why would the city even consider to move it. It just ridiculous . Wokeisim will not last longer then the age of theses statues.
Please define wokeism, clown...
This monument is critical to commemorating the martyrs of the Texas Slave Republic.🤠
I support Texas's maintainance of the cenotaph, but I also agree that we have to be honest about the Alamo. Texans need to plainly admit that the Texas Revolution was largely about slavery. I don't agree with taking down the monuments or slandering the revolutionaries. But it's just foolishness to expunge any mention of slavery, as though not mentioning it somehow makes the fight legitimate.
But what about racism. Isnt any monument racism.
