ALAMO - The Finale

Crouch End Festival Chorus / City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra / Nic Raine
Lyrics:
Let the old men tell the story
Let the legend grow and grow
Of the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo.
Lift the tattered banners proudly
While the eyes of Texas shine.
Let the fort that was a mission
Be an everlasting shrine.
Once they fought to give us freedom.
That is all we need to know
Of the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo ...

[@warlord8954]

Back then they were called Texicans and Tejanos. May God Bless them for making such a stand. Also, to the choir, the Siege of Alamo was 13 days. Not 30. At least it sounds like that's what they're singing.

[@tommythompson1172]

They are singing "13 days of glory." Texans might again be called to duty...to defend our soil of a new Republic of Texas. We shall see. I believe we are eagerly en masse awaiting, and we shall indeed remember the Alamo and Goliad and San Jacinto. This time we shall stand shoulder to shoulder with our Mexican and Mexican American brethren in a war against Communist tyranny.

[@teller1290]

​@@tommythompson1172 fantasyland, man. The time for such a fight was yrs ago. And these Mexicans and Latins are Africans are coming here to eat from the leftist -run gravy train that has been used to lure all these people here in the first place. It's being done to break down the whole structure of the country, not just Texas. I was eating at a restaurant the other day in coastal Mississippi and no one in the place was speaking English. This nightmare has been unfolding since Reagan was foolish enough, in '86, to sign off on amnesty for three million in promises that left would then get serious about border. Fooled him and have been out fighting GOP on this issue for two generations. Total victory by communists and they are now in the very beginning of the exploitation phase of that victory. They are replacing Americans with new ones. We will be canceled and won't lift a finger because that would be RACISS. Racism charge has paralyzed whites since that bullet went through King's head in '68. There will be no fight this time around. Rome went from republic to tyranny; so are we now. And Rome, btw, was being overrun by foreigners and barbarians. They lost the will to fight for whatever reason. Our reason? The left has used race like a cudgel for over 50 yrs, with no end in sight. We can't beat it. Just too much "white guilt", so we give our country, fought for by our betters, and deny our children and grandchildren their birthright just hoping we won't be called racists by communists. History will record the giving away of this mighty power to bums, negrose, mestizos from third world tyrannies as the greatest, seemingly inexplicable waste in history. I'm depressed and sad to wake up in it every day. I'm 60, served in military in Cold War, retired fed LEO, pay my taxes, pray, warned people about communism having open-field running in America since I was a teen. Nobody listens.

[@horseman528]

I read that the defenders of the Alamo ran out of ammunition on the third charge on the morning of March 6, 1836, but had repelled two earlier charges that same morning. I believe it was the south wall the Mexican army overwhelmed with large numbers and there weren't enough defenders to hold them off. Might want to check that out, but I believe that is what I heard.

I agree that it was badass. But one really needs to read the history. Mexico had banned slavery, and many Southerners from the US ignored that and brought their slaves anyway. I do believe in the bravery of the Texicans who defended the Alamo, but there really is another part to the story that the movies leave out. God bless the USA!

[@paulmentzer7658]

Slavery was illegal in Mexico, but Peonage was perfectly legal. The difference was a slave could be sold free of the land the slave worked on. A Peon could only be sold with the land he lived on. Worse, while Peonage survived in Mexico till while into the 20th century, so did Slavery. Now, technically Slavery was illegal in Mexico after 1821, it still existed into the 20th century. This was so well known that when the Navajo were defeated in 1864, it was talked about selling all of the survivors in Mexico. This proposal was vetoed, but it was seen as a doable option (I e. the Navajos could be sold as slaves in the 1860s in Mexico). It takes more then words to outlaw Slavery, even in the US there were attempts to perserve slaves after 1865. Those attempts were suppressed but attempts were made.

Don't forget this: In Section 9 of the General Provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, it is stated how the new republic would resolve their greatest problem under Mexican rule: “All persons of color who were slaves for life previous to their emigration to Texas, and who are now held in bondage, shall remain in the like state of servitude ... Congress shall pass no laws to prohibit emigrants from bringing their slaves into the republic with them, and holding them by the same tenure by which such slaves were held in the United States; nor shall congress have power to emancipate slaves.” This is an ugly detail of the Alamo saga no educated Texan should be proud of.

The battle of the Alamo was no Thermopylae at all, by any kind if imagination! At that Greek battle, the Greeks WERE fighting for their homeland from an invader, however, in Texas, 1836, the illegal aliens from the states were STEALING and robbing a land NOT theirs. See the difference folks? Also, Crockett surrender to the Mexicans, only to be executed moments later. Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost and, Bowie was hiding under his mattress, and was killed in this way. There were 253 Alamo defenders, over 90% of them were from the states, having illegally entered Texas, and they were fighting for a future slave state, as Texas did become. Some heroes! HOWEVER, it is nice that Texans celebrate a Mexican victory every year, I hope it continues forever!

[@martyrobbins5241]

Roger Borroel no, when Santa Anna came to power he dissolved the 1824 constitution, the flag above the alamo said 1824, the revolution was not just independence but reinstating the constitution. Itvwas not stealing a country

Up to a point, that is! Austin wanted to take apart the Mexican Federation step by step, he says so in one of his letters in 1835, dated, October 5th. Jackson send Houston to Texas with one object: steal Texas, period. Travis was a member of the extreme right, the War Party, who started the war. Nope, the Texas War was just one huge land grab to add another SLAVE state to the South. And the FIRST official law given by the new Texan state was that no free blacks were allowed in the state. The cause for Liberty and freedom was only for white southerners, who needed the slaves to work free for them!
