I heard a snippet of the book writer’s interview on the radio, may have been NPR.

The thrust of it is that we need to teach that Santa Anna’s primary purposes in attacking the Alamo was to recapture lands illegally taken from Mexico and to free slaves.

Painting Santa Anna as a Good Guy is amusing. Because the more I learn about the Goliad Massacre, the less I care for him.

Great-great grandpa was one of the scouts who captured Santa Anna.

Of course, we have to change history for Pee Bush and his illegals.

Whenever I’ve come across an idiot that said they want their stolen land back, other than telling them it was paid for, I explained to them it’s not the land that makes the difference in the two countries, it’s the laws and the people. Do they think if Texas, California, etc. Became part of Mexico they would still be under US laws, opportunities, etc? No one could answer.
