Great that you were there, at this historic event.
I’m sure it did appear to be spontaneous.
There were celebrations after all the missions but the one after 11 was incredible. Texas had no liquor by the drink at that time. He hotels in the area had private clubs. The law did not prevent them from giving it away. And they did. Opened their doors and let the booze roll out. It was against the law to drink on the street but it wasn’t enforce.
