interesting, but a little off the mark at least where Texas is concerned.
Don’t Mess With Texas - it was indeed selected as a slogan against littering. But what makes it a powerful slogan is it plays to the broad concept at already exists, which is Texas has a State Identity that is very strong, whereas, most other states have lost the concept somewhere after 1913.
The Alamo - please, the author needs to do more studying and stop thinking he is the smartest guy in the room - he is not. Like most rebellions, there were many causes. Texas was very sparsely populated and following Mexico’s independence from Spain, immigration into Texas from the US into basically unoccupied land lead to the majority of people have US culture and expectations. There were issues with Spanish and US racism, cultural issues, economic issues as well as governance issues. Yes slavery was one of many issues. But this author is not being accurate by pulling out one issue from 50 and trying to make his point.

Tell me about it, I’m from the cradle of the confederacy, born, raised and picked cotton within ten miles of the site of the first secession meeting. Confederate veterans on both sides of my family tree. I laugh at the clowns who think Lincoln’s whole focus was to do away with slavery.
I was going to comment but saw yours. Right on the mark for what I would have said.
You complete me..... LOL
