Sam Houston was the only Southern Governor who opposed breaking from America and joining the Confederacy. He spent the last year of his life under House Arrest, and he died thinking his life was a failure....all because his beloved Texas broke from America and joined the Confederates.

Antifa had better be prepared for the fight of their lives, if they intend to remove any monument to Sam Houston in Texas.

Straw men. The Antifa people never said anything about the Confederacy in regards to Houston.
Sam Houston was white, male and owned slaves, ergo, he's evil to the Left.
To: jospehm20
The leftists and their GOP conspirators don’t care about the actual history, they just want to erase it.

Houston's Unionist leanings make no difference. He was an evil white man and a supporter of slavery. Leninism lives in America even if Russia has repudiated it.
To: Trump20162020
I know it’s just a movie, and I am OLD enough to have been taught our country’s TRUE History but having just watched, ‘The Alamo’ again, I disagree!
Sam Houston made all the right choices at a critical juncture! God Bless Him!
WTF is WRONG with these brainwashed Socialists? How on Earth can they think they’d be part of The Ruling Class, or on the top of the heap, should they get their wish to destroy America?
They. Are. Puppets. Collateral Damage. Cannon Fodder.
P.S. But don’t tell them, LOL!

Michelle Obama’s face is gonna look real nice on the $1 bill — just as soon as we get rid of the slave owner who is currently occupying her spot!

"Nikki Haley helped get this ball rolling." She is only technically American.

Sam Houston was a HERO of the first order.
There will be a FIGHT in Houston, if/when they try taking this statue down.

First they start with the Confederate Statues, now they will go after Texas history.

What gets me is the Lefts feeling about our history, considering that most of them are decedents of those who migrated here in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Those Ellis Island legal immigrants. Its like asking Italy to remove all those Roman era statues. I probably have Roman slave blood, but who cares? I’m not going to whine about it and ask for the Colosseum to be bull dozed because some ancient relative of mine was fed to the lions. There are peoiple out there who are worst than terrorists, they are deviding us to destroy us and start a new country. They’ll call it Utopia and ship anyone who disagrees with them to Northern Alaska to work in the gold and Uranium mines. Then they’ll be happy.
