It one goes to the Alamo in Texas and read the names on the walls of those heros and place of origin it is very revealing. You will find Irish, Scot, English, German, a few other nations and also American born and very oddly Mexican patriots names. This was a rebellion of the people against the tyranny of Santa Anna. Most of the Mexican patriots were born in what was then Mexico but what is now Texas.
When I visited the Alamo, I noticed several of the defenders were from Alabama.
“It one goes to the Alamo in Texas and read the names on the walls of those heros and place of origin it is very revealing.”
Now that you mention it, I remember being surprised at all of the places the defenders of the Alamo had come from, including the one or ones from Germany. There were even one or two from New Hampshire, IIRC.
Same thing at the San Jacinto monument.
A lot of Irish, Scots, Germans were there.
