Nah* not Now. The translation is a bit wonk.

@@keelyourshelf really? Thanks for that. Think I was too busy laughing to catch that

“We can do that, but faster.” Also almost applies to South Africa.

Israel was already in America, they just didn't have their own country yet. Even in Jewish lore, if Israel has their own country, the end is nigh.

​​@@wildfire9280ooh sht don't say that!!!! 😂😂 I was arguing literally for a month with SA ppl particularly Johannesburg! It's like the white ppl down there REALLY BELIEVE THEY ARE AFRICAN AND NOT SCOTTISH OR BRITISH OR WHEREVER THERE DNA TRACES THEM BACK TOO! I WAS TRYING TO TELL THEM THAT THE SAN and KhoiKhoi PPL YOU KNOW THE ACTUAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE TO JOHANNESBURG (eGoli the zulu name or original) They act like they don't know or understand that Europeans settled there because of the emerald mines. It's amazing because a lot of black South Africans were defending them too! 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

@@oodo2908 dude said jewish lore this generation is cooked

@@Blend_it i mean its a correct use of the word, "Lore" has existed as a word for centuries bro, sounds like your vocab level is cooked

So Texas independence is just a US civil war prequel?

Yep!!...Last state to abolished slavery after it was deemed illegal.

Yeah it was the native Americans who threw that in the trash.

As a Texan, I’m soo shocked June 19th is a US holiday when it should just be in TEXAS!!

@@jakeshaify Talk to my Native American brothers and sisters about this one.

Thank you very much and very good catch yall, seeing things from their perspectives is key in my opinion when it comes to stories about the past. Glad you stuck around for the videos beyond that, more to come!

I have to strongly disagree. This is a pretty poor telling of the alamo and texas. We take texas history every 3 years. The battle wasn't 30 minutes it lasted an entire day when the seige actually happened with 3 different attempts in 1 day. Maybe it was the last seige that was 30 minutes but it wasn't a wash from us. Also yes they fought pretty bravely considering the force difference and the fact the U.S. couldn't directly support the people.

There are actually a lot of inaccuracies with this. U.S. might of secretly been supplying troops but most of the forces was literally letters sent across the states for anyone to join the cause. You have a huge wave of manifest destiny right now and promises. Texas also joined America because economically after the way it was extremely unstable.

I know it isn't a one answer one solution kind topic history has a lot of angles but this is pretty sub par.

​@@busterpropes2917 it was about a lot more than the alamo. The alamo was less than like 10% of the video. He managed to explain US-Mexico-Texas relations and developments, leading up to, during, and after, an extremely crucial juncture (the Mexican-American War), a period of several years, in just 5 minutes. Furthermore, he included a lot of color that you normally don't get, and gave a pretty damn good characterization of a whole lotta stuff, in a condensed, easy-to-digest, quick format. Frankly, you just sound like a butt hurt Texan.

It wasn’t a two week long battle. The encounter lasted 13 days total and while in the 13 days the few encounters they had Texas was quickly wrecked, when Mexico actually attacked March 6 they basically wiped them out as most of them ran into hiding in the interior or the building and some Texans surrendered and were then were executed. I’ve been to the Alamo a bunch of times, it’s the main star of downtown SA and it’s no surprise it went quick, it’s a tiny little place compared to buildings today. When they got wiped out march 6 that inspired others to come help

Yup

@@Hashdollars 13 days is nearly two weeks tho????

​@@dogcakewogThe encounter lasted 13 days. Most of that was not fighting but just the Mexican army sitting outside.

@@seanpellerin5703 If I sit on the toilet for 13 days but only poop for 5 minutes it was still a 13 day long poop session

I don’t think anyone here in SA really associates fiesta with the Alamo. It’s just an excuse for people to get drunk and party but I agree.

​@@rossbob5583similar to 5 de mayo in America

Thank you, will do. I have a lot of African history but most of them piss me off too much so I have to space them out lol

Why not try some African history pre colonialism? Kingdom of kush/Mali/Ghana, mansa musa etc.

​@@xeviuniverse do Ethiopian history specially Adwa battle bro. Ethio- italian war

​@@xeviuniverse talk about stuff related to how the ethiopian church is older than whatever tf the did in europe

@@xeviuniverseyou do a great job at dishing out the facts and perspectives in short informative video, glad i discovered ya

This. ☝🏽

Was looking for this comment lol

Then the Texans invited a bunch of Germans and Poles to settle their outskirts to serve as a buffer from Comanche and Apache raids, which is why there's a lot of German and Polish place names in certain places

That's how you play Civ alright​@@c.barclay8564

I am with my gf 😔

Yes. We are. That's why this guy who made the video had to be a racist and lie about history. The Siege of The Alamo lasted 13 days, in which the Mexican Army continuously bombarded by day and the fighters repaired by night. Numerous attempts were made to take the complex. What's in San Antonio now is less than 3% of the total engagement area back then; only the church remains, well, y'all would call it a church. Additionally, the Mexican Army numbered between 2,000 and 6,000 with more reinforcements in bound. Texans had approximately 200 defenders. The cannon was supposed to be scrapped and Texan forces moved on, but on site command decided to make a stand to buy Houston more time to build an Army. It was understood that all men would die in The Alamo. They knew it would happen. Santa Anna had murdered even American soldiers on his way to San Antonio. Nothing the guy in the video said is correct. Also, the Texans didn't run away. As the Mexican Army breached, one of the cannons was unable to be crippled, allowing the Mexicans to turn the cannon on the Texans. They repositioned to the Long House and other areas to try to avoid direct cannon fire. The entire thing was a delaying action that was designed, on site, to give Houston more time to build up an Army; which he did. Yes, initially it was hoped that major reinforcements would show, but the time the Mexicans showed, they new what they had to do. The Battle of San Jacinto, where in your vernacular, the Texans "clapped back", Houston smashed San Anna. 900 Texicans vs 1,300 Mexicans and they could NOT stop the Texans from killing them. 9 deaths, 30 wounded for the Texans and more than 600 dead and 700 captured for the Mexicans; including Santa Anna, who was found hiding as a regular soldier about a day later. Texans are so much "That guy" that we made the guy who fancied himself Napoleon cast off his rank of General and hide as a private. Yes, Texas is "That guy."
