The astonishing thing about Santa Ana is that even after his pitiful performance in this battle, he regained the presidency of Mexico.

Three more times!

Once even after losing the war with the United States and all of what is now our Southwest.

led to annexation and to the Mexican War, resulting in the acquisition by the United States of the states of Texas, New Mexico

Well, that's a stupid claim. If the annexation of Texas led to the Mexican War, then how could the war have resulted in gaining Texas?

It lasted 18 minutes.

The Texans stormed the field, rousted the Mexicans from afternoon lethargy, backed them into the marsh and then killed them hand to hand by the hundreds.

I have visited the site and am forever thankful for the opportunity.

In my mind, the founders of Texas should be included in the model for the new America that will come when the Neoeuropan states of the northeast are purged from the current Union.

“With Antonio López de Santa Anna’s return to Texas in 1836, Ware reenlisted in the Texas army on March 12, 1836, and was elected captain of the Second Company of Col. Sidney Sherman’s Second Regiment, Texas Volunteers. He took part in the battle of San Jacinto, where James Washington Winters described his effort “like a wild mustang.”

Within the next 10-15 years the PC crowd will cry out for justice and demand the return of those lands “stolen” from
Mexico or at the very least reparation payments to Mexico.

And remember, Jacinto is pronounced with a “j”, not an “h”.
