I'm a South Texan & everyone I know is aware of 'Remember Goliad!' Col. Fannin is legendary. Just this morn there was a discussion on talk radio about Ron Howard coming to Goliad as part of his research for an upcoming movie on the Alamo. It would be nice to include the tragedy that occured at Goliad. Most folks never heard of this event... 26 posted on 3/24/02 1:31 PM Pacific by Jane Dough

Yes, I am a Southerner as well. My ancestors fought to set Texas free. I have a strong distrust of anything "mexican", and I am highly supportive of the idea of rounding up illegals and booting them out of the country.

I don't know about Texans in your part of the Great Lone Star State, but up here where I am, many are really PO'ed.

We are not ready to hand over our state to the enemy south of the border. But, it seems our government is.

Do you think Ron Howard will make the movie perfectly historically correct? Or, will he add in just enough political correctness so that no one is offended?

Texas history offends Mexico. Toooo damn bad.

I too, am native, but don't believe Texas belongs only to whites. So do you simply ignore Mexicans that fought alongside the immigrants against the tyrannical Mexican govt? They were just as important in securing independence for Texas.
