Yes, Remember the Alamo, BUT
More important:
Remember San Jacinto, 18 minutes that spawned a Republic.
God Bless the US, God Bless Texas, God Bless your family and mine.
If not for the battle of San Jacinto, no independent Texas. If no independent Texas, no US annexation of Texas. If no US annexation of Texas, no Mexican War. If no Mexican War, no War between the States. If no WBTS, slavery might still exist. So the battle of San Jacinto led to the abolition of slavery.
Counterfactual history: the sky's the limit.
