with regards to history, Texans, of course, supported the Mexican Constitution of 1824 patterned after the US Constitution.

It was after Santa Anna suspended it, usurped power and began tyrannizing Texas that things changed.

Men at Alamo fought to the end, and died. The men at Goliad shortly after that thought it better to surrender. They were ruthlessly executed in cold blood, defenseless by Santa Anna the butcher.

Upon his capture after the battle of San Jacinto by Houston, President Santa Anna was of course much better treated than the men at Goliad and others, in spite of the calls to hang him high.

Mexico should be ashamed to have Santa Anna in their history. Let the truth be told. Forget Hollywood.

Fine. I'm not the one making the movie. If I see one that differs from this,...gee, I don't know what I'll do. Cry?

None of us have any control over this other than to not buy Disney or pay to see any movies made by them. I just thought that a filmmaker standing up against the studio was a good thing. I haven't seen the script, so I don't know what historical changes they made. I just know that Ron Howard is a stickler for details. That's it.

OK... I just got back in. What was D. Crocketts favorite saying?

I remember it from way back. I challenge you guys and gals to post it.

In exchange for Santa Anna's release, he relinquished all claims to Texas. That Houston was a pretty smart feller!

For the most part they are. They consider him a "traitor" to Mexico. This based on events during and following the U.S/Mexican War, after Texas had become a state, and which resulted in the "sale" of, by Mexico to the United States, of all lands, other than Texas, that were once part of Mexico and are now part of the United States. (Claims of an independent California Republic not withstanding) We, the United States, reinstalled Santa Anna in Mexico, after the then existing government had exiled him. It worked just as we intended, with Generalisimo Antonio López de Santa Annabecoming once again a big fish in a somewhat smaller Mexican pond, although not before Santa Anna, as was his wont, double crossed the US and led the Mexican Army, or part of it, against US forces. See Santa Anna or better yet just search on Santa Anna
