"The actual battle of San Jacinto lasted less than twenty minutes, but it was in the making for six years."

And the aftershocks were felt for several more years, as the rest of Northern Mexico attempted to break away from the "Centralists" led by Santa Anna.
Some went so far as to come to Texas to ask for our help, and to try to raise an army.

We turned them away.

Because we honored a border, and a treaty. Mexico surrendered. Texans have honor. Northern Mexico needed then (and needs to now) fix their own problems. They need to quit p!ssin and moanin about how bad they have it, and how good we made it.
