Nickelodeon is no running an "educational" commercial which purports to be the true history of texas.
If emphasises that texas was in fact part of mexico, BUT it has a little girl narating that the white farmers were trying to keep their slaves after mexico outlawed slavery.
A group of the IMPLIED slave owner farmers were holed up in the alamo and Santa Anna showed up with 5000 mexican soldiers and killed them.
Basically Linda Elerby is quoting "La Raza" material.
This is what Nickelodeon is directing at children of the united states.
Even a V Chip will not protect children from this leftist and socialist effort to indoctrinate children. There is no labeling of alleged PSA commercials.
sorry folks OC =PC
BTTT

Conceivably, the Mexican forces wanted to move behind the US forces and keep expansion to a minimum, creating their own country through a large swath of the US West, up to the Oregon territories. This would have had major implications for a possible alliance with the South in the US Civil War later on, when a very different look would have been had in the conflict and strategy. Also, the French realized by this time that they lost out on Louisiana Purchase, giving up all those resources.
Some Mexicans owned slaves though. This can be researched. The US history, on the other hand, has record of Black cowboys.
We cancelled cable yeeeaaarrrrs ago. Never once regretted it.

It's not that simple, but early Texans DID have slaves
until the Mexican govt declared no more settlers could
enter the Texas Territory, and slavery should be outlawed.
It was one of the pickles that Stephen Austin had to deal
with.

Conferences/wars that took place giving land back

I love studying history...and believe me, having majored
in it, I've learned that prejudices aside, there are
always two/three sides to every issue. But as always,
he who wins the FINAL battle writes the history books
and can omit what he chooses! <>g<> Most kids (and too
many adults) think the San Antonio Battle of the Alamo
with Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie was the only fighting
that took place in Texas. There were at least 4 major
battles, the Texans winning the last one.

The actress who said that in the Pee Wee Herman movie is now Jimminy Glick's wife(another great performance).
Ok, let's assume for the moment that the Nickolodeon/La Raza disinfomercial is true.
Why would millions of Mexicans be swarming across the border to get into a place that was settled (stolen in their perverse world) by slaveowners??
Doesn't make sense.
Huh??
When your brainwashing the masses, making sense is way down the list. Look at Hitler.
The Texans were just doing jobs the Mexicans didn't want to do. :-) Seriously though, there is truth to that. Santa Anna wanted to populate the desert Southwest to solidify Mexico's claim to the area and to expand his empire. Few Mexicans were interested. Other immigrants filled the void, having to come through Texas to get there though many were not Texans. Davie Crockett and Jim Bowie are examples. As the numbers grew Santa Anna became concerned and the battles began.
We may have been better off to let the Mexicans fight it out with the Apaches and Comanches first and then moved in after each was weaker.
I have always felt that much of what the Mexicans claimed as Mexico were simply early Spanish outpost and Catholic monasteries spread out over a vast area. None had any ties to Mexico.
all well and true BUT, the specific SPIN of this was to make Texas appear STOLLEN by the "gringos" just so they can keep humans as slaves. The slave liberator santa ana flooded over the texas border with a hoard of liberating mexicans and killed the rebels at the alamo.
No mention of any other battles. Story ends there with a picture of the alamo mission standing today. Any CHILD watching this gets the impression that the alamo was the LAST battle of texas and the mexicans won.
It does NOT have anything else about texas history or the fact that texas is part of the USA as a result of BUYING land and surrenders of the Mexican dictators.
If I only tell a child only about british victories during the American Revolution, they will believe england won.
The story is accurate, although somewhat one-sided.
A major reason for Texian dissatisfaction with the Mexican government was its expressed intention to begin enforcing its anti-slavery laws, which had been unenforced for many years.
This is similar to a major factor in the American revolution being anger that the British were trying to enforce longstanding laws against smuggling.
