But just to clarify, Mexico didn't completely abolish slavery until 1857, with the first attempt in 1810 (only in regions the army controlled) and the second in 1821 (designed to free just the children of slaves), not widespread or accepted in 1836.
$450 million to renovate the Alamo? Isn’t it a building about the size of a single suburban lot?
I'd imagine real Texans would do it for nothing so it will still be there for OUR posterity.
Keep in mind that the entire purpose of the Deep State and the Democrat Party is to eradicate America and (insert word of violence here) all Western Civilization promoters. It’s really that simple.
Jorge P Bush’s fingerprints all over this.
Just turn it into another woke reeducation museum full of fake history. Don’t remember the Alamo at all.
the most revered battle site in Texas history
No offense, but for me, personally, I remember both Goliad and the Alamo the same.
Again, for me, San Jacinto is the most revered site. Why? The Texan Army was vastly outnumbered, and won decisively in less than 20 minutes.
And, not just as a native Texan, but a native Pasadenaian who literally grew up 15 minutes from the battlegrounds. Hell, my uncle literally hung off the star at the top of the monument to clean it. We used to have family picnic’s out there through the 70’s and early 80’s. I’ve got pics and memories of that, and, as a kid, I used to picture the armies just relaxing across from each other - and then, BLAM! The Texans attacked. Just amazing.
The pro-independence forces were not just white Americans but also Mexicans and some free slaves or free blacks.
Don’t let the anti-American revisionist Left rewrite history. Only Nazis and Communists do that. Oh wait, we’d better look at the revisionists again. I think we’re on to something.
OK, get a few negros with a grievance to work on it.
Problem solved, they got their part in it.
Ok I told the south bashers listed on my homepage it would come to this
Them and their glee over demonizing Dixie ....calling my ancestors Nazis
So
Where are you effing cowards now...
On a kinder note stucco and Adobe need reskinning fairly often
The drier the area the less frequent
Stucco is more durable on the exterior
Total BS! The writer is a ding bat.

Forget the Alamo!
How about leave it alone?
There’s a LOT that can be said of JFK, JFK’s father, MLK, and literally EVERY other Leftist hero, along with slavery (to this day), in the ‘old country’. Do they REALLY want to go there?
Isaac Ryan’s name is on the back interior wall in the Alamo. I have a copy of his Baptism certificate and his parents’ wedding license. He is in my family history book. I guess you would call him a cousin.
He was on the north wall near canon, one of the first to be killed. Came from Louisiana to help defend the American patriots.
Isaac Ryan Private, Whites infantry 1805 Louisiana killed in Fought at Bexar, remained in
marksman battle Alamo as Bexar Guard[II7]
From what I’ve read Mexico abolished slavery in 1829.
YET fifty years later you could still buy slaves in Mexico, mostly American Indian children captured in the US Southwest.
It was very disheartening the last time I visited the Alamo. It has been transformed from a shrine into a cheap tourist attraction.
