Forging Texas Episode 3: Season of Victory

Episode Three explores the Battle of San Jacinto, a fight some historians have referred to as "one of the most one-sided victories in history."
General Sam Houston and some 900 Texians faced Santa Anna’s approximately 1,300 troops on April 21, 1836 in what would ultimately decide the fate of Texas’ Independence.

Settlers started plantations in Texas and we know that slavery is a key element of a plantation, but Mexican law prohibited slavery so that started a conflict between local authorities and settlers. That's one of the arguments that it's thought in Mexican schools for the conflict.

[@MMASulu]

Before the battle, Sam Houston gave a big motivational speech and then ordered the troops to attack in three waves. The first wave was sent and all the troops went against Houston's orders and slaughtered Santa Anna's men in a matter of minutes. It is regarded as one of the most one-sided battles in the history of the world.

[@briansheehan5256]

1,508 Mexicans against 913 Texians. Texaian casualties were 2 killed in action, 7 mortally wounded, and 30 slightly wounded. Mexican casualties were, as reported by Houston, 630 killed in action, 208 wounded, and 730 captured. Complete 100% annihilation.

The hand to hand is really good but the Battle of San Jacinto actually started with Cannon Fire on the encampment and was fought little bit differently. Plus not all of the Texas Forces were volunteers or militia.... Texas Regulars also was present in the battle an actually dressed like SOLDIERS with UNIFORMS. But still great melee combat in this video clip.

Boy my 4th grade Texas history class was so one sided lol

[@4NaturesStory]

Yeah, mine too. I was like not allowed to comment because I have ancestors that where involved. I grew up in South Texas with mostly Mexicans who hated Texas history, BUT it is madatory curriculum. Mexican kids would fail it on purpose and never participate in a sort of rebellion thing their ignorant parents taught them. So sad. They are all still in the same place. I moved away from the valley and live in San Antonio. Whote people are accepted here and is better for me and my family. Long live Texas.

@@gulfcoastaero8048 What really hid them was the weeds and brush which were fairly thick so that Houstons army could get almost on top of the mexican camp, Added to the fact there wasnt much in the way of sentries on the barricade.

what is the historical significance of using the 13 stripe USA flag with a lone star blue field? what is the historical verification of this flag?

[@yobamajoe2595]

Though I don’t know if the 13 stripes were ever used on flags and such, that Lone Star and Blue Canton design is Texas’ first official flag when it declared independence from Mexico in 1836. Tejano patriot Lorenzo de Zavala is the credited designer of the Star and Blues background with Texas written in it.
