Bump.
See, the “anglos” weren’t Americans...cuz everyone’s an American!
They couldn’t say that there were Americans and Mexicans because...those Mexican troops were just as American as you and me!
Got it?
It was “Ahn-glows” who we would now be forced to call “European-Americans” or just whites without any nationality tied to them. The Mexican troops would be Mexican-Americans of course, misunderstood and victimized poverty stricken Mestizos who were only expressing themselves the way they can!
The whole world is now hyphenated, just not...the actual Americans.
Wonder if the guys at Alamo knew about that? I’m bettin they did. Malmedy in WWII, word got out and Hilter had his ass handed to him. Live free or die. IMO.
I watched an entertaining ten part miniseries on Prime video,”Texas Rising,” about these events, from the aftermath of the Alamo to Jacinto and the beginnings of the Texas republic.
It was originally aired on the History channel in 2014. Bill Paxton as Sam Houston, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Deaf Smith, Kris Kristofferson as Andrew Jackson.
For historical precision I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it was a fun entertaining western.
Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad! God Bless Texas!
