Thank you Tim!

Wdym change styles like the others

I appreciate that!

Texas and its Independence? Texas did NOT fight for its Independence. These territories were stolen from Mexico by Pirates, with the support of the United States Gov't. 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, 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?

6th Gen here. 3rdGGF was at the Siege of Bexar and San Jacinto and I happen to agree.

My BS detector is going off. 1805 was 15 years before Mexico became independent of Spain. Natively your family are Spanish? Then Mexican then Texan and finally American, lol. My family settled just South of Ft Worth. The Haley Branch of the Nolan River is named after my g-gramps James Haley.

@Despiser25 Ya know, you're right. I re-read the ancestry doc and it's say, "My Family came from Germany in 1846. Our Kerr County ranch has been in the family for 100 years." Thank you for correcting my error. Much love and respect to your family, friend.

One of the biggest artifact displays that affected me the most were the displays of buttons from the funeral pyres of Goliad displayed at The Alamo. It really hit me hard and made you feel the gravity of the situation they were in.

@@Taocat1 ya, I can’t imagine going through all that. My great grandmother visited the Alamo decades ago before it changed ownership, and there was still blood on the walls. That was probably I’m guessing in the 50s or 60s but I can’t remember. It’s a shame they washed it off!

You should try reading books.

@@Ureconstructed I’ve read a few. I’m very slow at reading, so when I can learn large amounts of information from shorter videos I opt to maximize my time that way.

@@trev5.566 that’s like saying you’re working out by lifting your tv remote to watch a workout show. These videos are informative and entertaining, but you can learn more by reading. If you’re slow at reading, that’s fine, be slow. Just don’t expect to learn more form a video than by reading a book. That’s foolish.

I like Fannin as a leader in the revolution and it’s really a sad story about his fate. He didn’t deserve to be executed but such is the fate of wars

@@WarhawkYT Agreed. I've visited La Bahia, Coleto Creek and other Texas Revolution sites. In fact, the sites where the three columns of Fannin's troops were executed are remarkably unchanged, but they sit on privately-owned lands and are inaccessible to the public. Perhaps one day . . .

Thanks, will do!

Gracias por las palabras amables. Perdón por la mala traducción. Ese es el objetivo de esta serie, quiero mostrar toda la revolución, no sólo los aspectos más destacados que todos conocen.

Much appreciated!

I appreciate that!

you're welcome!

Interesting how the men under his command still spoke highly of him though. Makes me think a lot of the delay was from his subordinates wishing to make a stand at Goliad rather than retreat to Houstons lines

Mark Clark called…he said good job Fannin

Me to Fannin: you lost Fannin: I didn't lose. I merely fail to win

@stevencooper4422 it is the same thing with McClellan...inept in getting done what is needed to be done. However atleast Fannin didnt fall apart in combat. McClellan would.

@@SoulKiller7Eternal I agree. McClellan had the additional fault of always OVERestimating enemy strength while Fannin thought the opposite.

Thank you fellow Texan

That's what happens when you underestimate your enemy. A tale as old as time.

Houston waits for army to go to sleep, that is the only way the drunkard coward could have ever won. Dishonorably and cowardly.

Much appreciated!

Thanks again!

Awesome, thank you!

gracias señor

Thank you! Cheers!

Lol

Yep, despite their failure and execution, the men at Goliad help energize the men under Houston’s command to fight hard until they win

The Mexicans are still losing because of these massacres to this very day..

Thanks dim!

thanks brother!

Thank you 👍

Thanks!

Thanks John!

thank you

You weren't there so your comment is unfounded. Enough said.

​@@user-ed2wq4wu8cNot unfounded at all. All the facts are known. Santa Anna was a tyrant.

Maybe with a video on Fort Pillow...

And that's why we have a big ol' statue of him located just north of the very city named after him.

Well it’s after all called the Goliad “Massacre”

Sorry to hear that bro, I lost a coach who got me into history as well.

The algorithm prefers frequent uploads rather than video quality 🙄

This, I can’t get videos out fast enough to have the algorithm favor me and I would rather not rush videos.

@@WarhawkYT Ain't fair, you deserve much more appreciation.

@@deadtreb1509 it is what it is

i 'member

hell yeah brother

They did surrender

@@pandookrb yeah after we got Mexicans confused for texans… don’t come around here point out facts now go on git

The anglicized version is

Thanks, that's where my family is from.

big time, leaders of armies and countries play a crucial war in a war's outcome

Texans were called Texians from 1834-1850, when Texas joined the US, they switched to Texans. Look up Texians on wikipedia.

if there is, i havent seen any of it

For real lol

San Jacinto is actually a month and 4 days later. The Goliad massacre was March 27, San Jacinto was April 21

I dont think every single person who graduates from West Point is going to be a military genius. However, there are also plenty of guys who proved to be the best in their time.

@@WarhawkYT fair enough

you make me giggle

And can you blame them? Santa Anna made his message clear as to how Mexico viewed them.

​@@troybaxterUrrea was a million times that twink was

i finally got to visit Goliad during spring break, it was a cool place!

Mexico never had the best army. The army was full of unreliable conscripts, bad morale, worthless weapons, and inexperienced officers

Idk man, we didn't need to execute our rebels in our own Civil War.

Santa Anna overthrew his own country's constitution to seize power, then committed heinous war crimes against any who objected. I definitely do blame Santa Anna.

You enslaved your own people. Santa Anna didn't. ​@@FieldMarshalYT

Field marshal’s people fought against the slavers lol

@@FieldMarshalYT Idk man, maybe Santa Anna didn't steal half of your country

Get out of here with your misinformation "Austin's Colony was the first and largest Anglo-American settlement in Mexican Texas and was established by Stephen F. Austin in 1821. It was authorized by the Mexican government and allowed for the introduction of 300 families into Texas. Austin received permission to introduce an additional 1700 families into the colony between 1825 and 1831 under the terms of four colonization contracts made with the state of Coahuila and Texas under Mexican laws providing land for immigrants. By the time the colonial land offices were closed in 1835, almost 1,000 land titles had been issued in Austin's Colony." There is many historical accounts and records that prove that the Mexican government invited anglo settlers

You don’t get it, bonehead badger!
