And president Andrew Jackson released General Santa Anna back to Mexico the very next year. Eleven years after the Alamo Americans once again had to fight Santa Anna at the battle of Chapultepec. In his later years Santa Anna lived on Staten island in New York. Does this traitorous act by a president sound familiar. This man had prisoners executed and is given a free pass to wage war on Americans once again, if this doesn’t put a fire in your eye nothing will.
Fun fact. in his days in New York Santa Anna tried to sell chewing gum as a replacement for rubber to the gringos.

Probably kicking some sand where Crockett was concerned. Jackson hated him for opposing his Indian removal programs.
“Remember the Alamo!”
With all my heart.
