If one goes to the Alamo and reads the names on the walls it is patriots from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ireland, Great Britain etc. and very importantly Mexicans from Texas. They all stood together against tyranny and they died together. That is what Texas is today. It is our state of all the above.
Politicians try to divide us by race today. They are charlatans. WE ARE TEXANS FIRST, though our skin colors may be different we are damn sure Texans!
I am from Tennessee. Its why we are called the Volunteers.
