Same thing Texan brother the old 300

Very well done. Surprisingly, I must not have been as stupid and bad a student as I thought I was when I was young. I actually recall some of this, when memories are triggered! But they are very dusty! (40 years old, too.)

Thanks for watching, Mr. Hughes. Same to you!

P.M. Laberge I'm sure you were smarter than you give yourself credit for. Thanks for watching and for the kind words :D

Keith Hughes is

Thanks so much! :) Glad you could use it.

@Student Derrick Wolford LOOOOOOOLLLLL

Thanks Dylan!

Well, God remembers those who enslaved other human beings and there is the judgement for that at end time by our Lord Jesus Christ.

@@shenghan9385 reminder that only 3 percent of all Texians owned slaves. And that was not the purpose of the revolution.

​@@shenghan9385God also remembers those who slaughtered the surrendered troops, piled them up, and burned them

+Danielle Moore Thanks so much! :D

+Political Junkie News Yeah, this one really took off for some reason. Thanks! I hope to visit Austin soon, actually. I have friends down there.

Great city! I should warn you that a lot of the effort in designing that museum was made drawing parallels between the US rev. War and the Texan one. That's not to say there aren't any- but they're pretty over the top! Looking forward to our discussion today.

No surprise...after all, in Texas students learn Texas history for an entire year! Wait a sec, is that where you are originally from?

+Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel love social studies, teach some more!

Everywhere I go, I find you Political Junkie. I think the internet is saying we should collaborate.

Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

I didn’t know Texas used to be an independent country

+josue fernandez Thanks Josue :)

Awesome. Thanks for watching! :D

This is the cutest thing I’ve seen today.

That's kind of you to write :)

Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel :)

It's not about making it better, ya numb-skull. It's recognizing that people are crossing over the border and regardless of our efforts to extricate them they keep coming back - so continually sending them back is at best a stop-gap solution - building a wall is itself asinine - we're left with some more options, we could actively invest in their home countries and help make them places that they wouldn't want to leave in the first place but that's pretty Globalist of us to do and I doubt certain elected representatives would be too keen with sending money abroad - so.... what are YOU suggesting we do? Don't make the mistake of thinking it's some effort to DRAW people to the US in order to.... do something intentional. The draw is purely unconscious on our part - as long as people believe they have no chance at a better life in their own countries, they will seek opportunities elsewhere. I'd LOVE to hear your well thought-out and nuanced proposal for the problem. lol

Also, it's sorta like when you cheat on your girl and because YOU'VE cheated you're now ten-times more paranoid that SHE'LL cheat on you. That's the vibe I'm getting here - because the US did it to them in the past a lot of people are paranoid something similar will happen.

Yes and no - it's true I don't want to do it, but not because of moral or ideological reasons. Purely practical - first of all, it wouldn't stop illegal immigration. There's the common saying "The solution to a 20-foot wall is a 21-foot ladder" and that doesn't even begin to delve into the issue of it, every time we've developed measures to stop illegal immigration they've thought up counter-measures. What about the tunnels that are already used to smuggle both people and drugs? How is a wall supposed to stop them? Walls have failed throughout history - they failed in China to keep the Mongols out. The even more elaborate set of walls and forts in the Roman Empire utterly failed to stop Barbarian incursions and eventually Rome was sacked - multiple times. Hadrian's wall was a boondoggle in and of itself, costly and for no positive benefit. That's one aspect of it - the fact it wouldn't work, but there's another, what about the cost? We know it wont be foolproof, but we DO know it will be costly, having to build in areas that are as remote as they are inhospitable and rugged. Not only that, but US citizens OWN some of that land. You're suggesting the Government deprive them of their land? Many of them have already refused to sell - and a lot of those people are Trump voted themselves. We're going to pull imminent domain on our citizens to build a costly wall that wont even fucking work? REALLY!? What about the illegal immigrants that don't hump it across the rio grande? What about the LARGE AMOUNT of the ones that come in on a work Visa or similar purpose and simply don't leave when it expires? In the age of the plane, the helicopter, the fucking hot-air balloon how is a wall an adequate answer? ALL OF THAT SAID - HOW DO WE PUNISH THEM!? They aren't our citizens, you're saying we put them in prison? Well congrats, then, dude - they're in the US, they're legitimized, and they get three hots and a cot in prison. So realistically you want to put them in prison? Which YOU AND I will end up paying for via taxes? How is that punishment? All we can realistically do - which is what we've already been doing for years - is deport them. So let me ask you, you speak tough about punishing them and they wont come here anymore - how? What form will that punishment take?

Seriously, though - have you really considered that there are only two ways to 'punish' them like you say? Put them in prison - or deport them. With the former they are officially in America - and they get three hots and a cot - and our tax money pays for them. On the other - we do the exact some thing we been doin'.

What do you mean by "pain"? Be specific. When a child crosses the border - let's say, about 12 - 14 years old since that's been close to the average for kids crossing the border alone (It's actually been largely females and children crossing the border in recent years - not so much males - www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/jun/29/does-america-face-refugee-or-immigration-problem/ ) what specifically should we do to them in order to teach them not to, and then after we do that to them what do we do with them? Also, what's the crime we're talking about, here? You mean specifically crossing the border?

+superbford Thanks for the feedback!

so texas was established illegally lol

as a state

i know it was am just rubbing it in

The main reason why the Mexican American War began was due to a border dispute between Texas and Mexico, yes.

To the winner goes the spoils. Some Americans wanted to take ALL of Mexico after winning the war. Alas, they were "nice" and only took the northern half.

+kmerian I simply didn't mention it because I was *trying* to be brief and had to leave stuff out. Thanks for watching!

Mr. Beat yeah.. That's bull

+Kareen Alada Awesome. Thanks for watching! Glad it helped :)

Thanks! Yeah, I should have mixed it up with the music...it got repetitive. Thanks for watching :)

Very funny, kid. It happens that I like music and don't listen to it casually. In your Texas video - which I like and which I assume you took pride in producing - I'm faced with either listening to what you took time and effort to research, write, and present, or a mindless, continuous, repetitive loop of music that adds nothing to the story. One is a distraction to the other - Which would you prefer I pay attention to? Many people are exposed to background noise and music all day, and have learned to ignore it, and no doubt have no trouble ignoring it in this video. Therefore you have two responses to the music - Either it annoys your audience of they ignore it. So where's the benefit to using it?

I made this video a long time ago and yes, the music was a mistake. I have learned from my mistakes. My recent videos don't have this issue. Thanks for taking the time for the constructive criticism.

There still is.

andrewwantsafreetibet it’s a joke

@@andrewlikestrains4138 that's the joke

Definitely.

+Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel I was born in spring.

Heck yeah! Glad to hear it :)

1. What did Mexican Independence do for the people of Texas? 2. To settle in Mexico what did you have to agree to do? 3. How did Mexico treat Americans trying to settle in Texas illegally? can you please help

I read a letter online from one of the survivors of the Goliad massacre telling about how he escaped.

I'm wondering how he forgot the 1824 constitution and the central government eschewing federalism in favor of central governance.

Goliad Massacre was Sunday March 27,1836 the men of Goliad met the same fate as the men of the Alamo did 3 weeks before Sunday March 6,1836 the runway scrap began March 31,1836 when Texans began fleeing the region Houston did not take action till April 21,1836 at San Jacinto when the main army of Texas defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto with remember the Alamo and Goliad

Yes. Texas is forever and Texans sin in slavery which is marked against God will remain forever too.

Aubry Bend Middle in Kansas

also you forgot Goliad :(

I just don't see Texas seceding any time soon, but I could be wrong.
