this is the best Christmas gift ever, i know you will do texas proud

Would you be coming out of Spring,North Harris County? Because l am from West of there, between Spring-Cypress and Louetta. Just west of Kuykendahl Rd.

Thank you so much for y’alls work, God bless and merry Christmas to everyone. This is a hell of a channel, love the detail you put into describing each units role in each historical battle ( when sources are available ofc lol ). It’s so unique and you can hear the passion in the script too.

Great video, as always, idea: every thought about doing the battles of the French foreign legion??

im actually from east houston, baytown area.

you're welcome man!

Support the independence of the Republic of Texas and the Republic of California! Americans have no right to interfere with the rights of the people of California and Texas! The US government is abusing, bullying, and oppressing the people of Texas and California 💔

Merry Christmas to you GC!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I dont think ive ever been commended for my pronunciation on here.

Thanks John, that’s why I am making them ;) I’ve seen pictures of the cannon but I definitely want to see it in real life.

I have to admit I was wrong in a previous post. I thought it was in the Bullock, but I guess that was a replica

Recently visited the Gonzales Museum. The representative there has a different story of the authentication of their "Come and Take It" Canon than the representative at the Alamo's story. One said it was turned into a bell in a church in San Antonio and one says their museum Canon is the real deal. 😮

@@14wheels75 That gun at the museum is definitely real and was there during the fighting. Lt. Castaneda commanding the Mexicans at Gonzales confirmed there were two cannons. The 6-pdr bronze gun, the one Castaneda was after, is the one that was melted down into a church bell.

You're welcome bro! Being a descendent of a Texas Independence signer and loving history, Ive always wanted to make this series. now i am!

Spot on

They fought at The Alamo for what was right, no thought had to go into it. I'm a fifth generation Texican myself.

As a fan of your channel and native Texan I thank you for tackling the Texas revolution

Yes hundreds of pale skins died properly for invading a territory that was not theirs. Who later became slave owners and fought on the side of the secessionist confederates.

Visited Goliad and the Fannin Battle Ground State Historic Site recently. Very disappointed at how poorly kept the location is and the poor signage on how to locate it. It is hallowed ground and deserves better.

Our pleasure!

Why should he?

​@@marthagomez7335why not?

@@LA-hx8gj what for!

@@marthagomez7335 I hope God blesses everyone 🙏, that's why.

thanks, Siege of bexar will be out in a few short days ;)

or we can see how they will compare when they'll face the USA in 10 years

yessir! im looking forward to it!@@WarhawkYT

@@WarhawkYT I think the Mexican Army did a better job in Texas than in the Mexican American War, when Mexico was mobilized they were able to repel Texans and retain the strategic initiative all the way until San Jacinto. Even after that, the Texan Raids at Mier and Santa Fe were failures while Mexico was able to retake San Antonio twice. Another thing is the naval warfare, Mexican Navy captured the Texan Schooner Independence, and the Brutus and the Invincible ran aground while fighting two mexican brigs. If Commodore David Porter was still in the Mexican Navy he probably would have crushed the Texan Navy and burned Galveston. This is understandable given that Texas was basically a filibuster affair, fighting against USA was a whole different thing.

An Interesting difference I noticed is that the big names of the mexican army during the war against France tend to be on the younger side and didnt participate in the Mexican American War. Sherman, Grant, McClellan, Meade, Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Longstreet were veterans of the Mexican American War. However, Ignacio Zaragoza (the one who defeated the French in the Cinco de Mayo Battle), Porfirio Diaz (the big hero of the war), Ramon Corona and Sostenes Rocha (one of the most skilled generals in Mexican History) were just Teenagers during the Mexican American War, Gonzalez Ortega (who bravely defended Puebla against the french) was an adult however he didnt serve in the war, an exception would be Mariano Escobedo who served as a foot soldier.

@@moic9704 I thought it interesting too. One would think that if the big names from the American civil war showed up in the Mexican American war the reverse would be true too during the french intervention. yet, folks like Zaragoza were born in what was at the time the state of coahuila y tejas. A loose connection, but one that exists all the same. I suppose the anarchy in between conflicts that occur don't allow for very much continuity.

we will, we are just taking a break from the civil war. I appreciate that

😂😂

OP must’ve never seen kings and general channel jaja

@@Pwnulolumad Yea I am subscribed to them every other video is just stupid graphics about how"The Vikings settlement in England were made" I don't give a damn about any of that, these videos are all great... Where's my damn SHARPSBURG VIDEO!!!

HistoryMarche, Epic History TV, Montemayor, The Operations Room, and Warhawk

Thanks man, glad to be back!

Thanks bro what are the chances. I should’ve had this done a lot sooner but I got a little lazy lol Edit: do you have a discord or email I can reach out with? I have a question

It shouldn’t be a touchy subject. This should be like any other era in history.

It’s my home state too! I live just 20m from San Jacinto!

"Remember the Alamo", in Texas, Mexico. "The Watermelon Slice", by Jack Oliver, in Panama. "The Sinking of the Battleship Maine", in Havana, Cuba. "The sinking of the RMS Lusitania", off the coast of Ireland. Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. Gulf of Tonkin, in Vietnam. "The Invasion of the Tiny Island of Grenada", for the construction of... An Airport? The 911, in New York. "Weapons of Mass Destruction", in Iran... It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, to the Looting, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes?

It was Mexican territory until American illegals (Davy Crockett) crossed into Mexico and declared themselves independent. And then two two hundred years Americans said they don’t like illegals. I would suggest you read about it but I’m sure any book that makes whites look or feel bad has been banned.

​@liberalman8319 yeah, but at least Texas isn't part of a shithole country anymore (at least not until it becomes predominantly hispanic).

And remember Goliad!

I really appreciate you saying that, thanks!

I appreciate that!

My pleasure

He was only popular because he wasn't Bustamante. It's kind of like modern day Biden was only elected because enough lies were told and spread about Trump that got him elected along with other shenanigans. Today Biden is hated so much that the only way Trump doesn't win will be because of shenanigans.

And slaves, don't forget them afro slaves. It's not a just war nor an honorable one, the aggressors were the usians were just looking to expand and mexicos mistake was letting them in.

thanks ben dover, youre my favorite childhood name

yep im glad to be back!

Thank you very much!

Yes I am!

Are you going to produce a video on the Battle of Sharpesburg? I have been looking forward to seeing it since September.@@WarhawkYT

We will, just kinda burnout of Civil War atm

I appreciate it! I’m like 2/3 done with it. You can always see my progress in our discord, link is in the description!

Thank you very much!

hell yeah brother

Appreciate it

im excited too!

I’ve been thinking about that

Right you are. It is the largest battle with the highest casualties of any battle ever fought in Texas and most people have never heard of it.

I might do a special video for Medina when I cover the Mexican war of independence

A quick look at wiki says that Cos was the husband of Lucinda Lopez de Santa Anna, however in the biography of Santa Anna written by Will Fowler that sister doesnt exists, according to Fowler Santa Anna had four sisters: Francisca, Merced, Guadalupe and Mariana. Francisca and Merced were married but not with Cos, there is little data about Guadalupe and Mariana and Fowler makes no mention of a marriage with Cos as far as I remember. Fowler mentions that Santa Anna's father was close to the Cos family but I am not sure if this is the same family of General Cos. There is also a book that contains biographies of all mexican generals and colonels in 1840, Cos is recorded as "40 years old, single and of good health"

thanks and a weird suggestion

@@WarhawkYT Epic History's videos narrated by Charles Nove; History Marche's by David McCallion. Both narrators have that bass vocal range which gave the pronounciations and way of narration more gravitas, which add an additional quality to their works. Just a personal opinion here.

Yeah, I know. I do almost all myself and still don’t make much off of the channel. Decent narrators I’ve found cost way more than I make. So I’ve decided to keep doing it myself.

Sounds fine to me. If you want to listen to men with deep baritone voices might I suggest Barry White?

I lived on Hwy 21 when I lived in Nacogdoches. Driven west on El Camino Real many times

@@mcgregorpiperI’ve only taken 21 from Alto, driving from Tyler to Houston

I might have seen their stuff before, Thanks for the tip!

I’ve been there! I’m an SFA Alumni!

Sadly, it fell through, maybe we might do something in the future but as of now, nothing

@@WarhawkYT that is really sad to hear i was expecting the video to be almost finished. Im hoping for the best:)

@@MarbleHit indeed

You should get checked for GRIDS.

I miss seeing you bb

You’re welcome rabbit!

War of southern treason

Merry Christmas! We do not, thanks for the offer though!

@@WarhawkYT okay I filled out the form months ago and never heard back

Hell ya

For real

Thanks bro!

only if I had that type of stuff lol

Yes I know, I went just Anglo Americans to distinguish the Americans from Mexicans

Ayyyy, SFA graduate here 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Indeed

california's and illegal aliens.

Care to elaborate on what I said wrong?

@@WarhawkYT do not take this as a dig at you but many of the Spanish/Mexican names just the way you say them sounds like an English speaker who sounds them out. Living in South Texas and spending most of my life very much in the culture plus the wife/mother in law who are both Mexican(nationals not just Texan of Mexican decent) I get corrected on how I say or speak Spanish/Mexican names. You did a great job on the video but an example is La Bahia in Goliad TX or some of the Mexican last names. I know you do not have an accent also like many Mexicans or S. Texans but just would round the video out a bit working on pronunciations. Again not trying to be rude or put down the hard work you did to publish the video I actually liked the video overall.

Thanks, I work with some spanish speakers who helped me with my pronunciations and the way I said them in the narration is what they approved.

History is full of ironies. It's why we study it.

To move into Texas they just had agree to be a loyal supporter of Mexico, agree to be catholic and don’t have slaves. Could they do that? OF COURSE NOT!!!!! so Mexico closed the border and Americans crossed illegally. Davy Crockett was an illegal. There were slaves at the Alamo which showed these Americans weren’t even pretending to follow Mexico law.

No Americans improved Texas. Not Americans fault that mestizos were scared of Indians.

are you complaning the americans conquered land which the mexicans had r)ped and killed the indians for?

Except Mexicans aren't forming their own militias and attacking forts whenever they feel like it, nor are they trying to overthrow the existing government to create their own.

In the beginning….
