Well, the Mexicans were surely not very honorable in this fight.
MS-13 material. Maybe the originals.
Democrats would have cheered these killings, saying those Americans in Texas should not have had guns in the first place, and that they deserved this
The character of the mexican uncivilized culture hasn’t changed much, has it.
This is why We never surrender!
Should have started the wall right after San Jacinto.
I don’t recall Texan or American troops ordering the mass execution of Mexican prisoners at any point.
Heck, we paid the Braceros ... their government kept the money. The Mexican government is why Mexico has problems. Mexico could have had everything West of the Mississippi and south of Canada but with the same folks in charge in Mexico City it would still be a (much larger) mess.
So in summation, it’s okay with me that we sent Santa Anna back to be an incompetent tyrant over Mexico rather than do Mexico a favor and sting him up from some tree after San Jacinto as he deserved.
The Democrats would have tried to disarm Christians in Spain for the Muslim invaders.
And yet Santa Anna lived to a ripe old age, even after San Jacinto.
IIRC, an elderly Santa Anna tried to meddle in the Caste War and was saved from execution by the U.S. Counsel to the Yucatan.
George P. Bush wants to change the Alamo exhibits to reflect the Mexican side of the story.
He sold us another piece of Mexico with the Gasdsen Purchase in 1853.

The History channel has an excellent series on now called The Men who made the America-Frontiermen.

Where did you see that?
The Mexican side is already represented. Most in the Alamo were Mexican citizens anyway.
I believe all of us recognize these rebels were trattors
> Well, the Mexicans were surely not very honorable in this fight.
When were Mexicans ever honorable?
During the Mexican-American War, 1846-1846, the Mexican Troops used hollow point copper bullets with the hollow being filled with copper sulfate, i.e., poison bullets. These bullets had been outlawed by international treaty for over a century at that time. Virtually all wounds resulted in death by copper poisoning.
If Sam Houston had shot Santa Anna he would hailed as the Geo. Washington of Mexico. SA was a thorn in the side of Mexico for decades after Texas left.
Always remember that. When you invite people in who you don't 'force' to assimilate, there is always the chance they become the conquerors.
