Texas Revolution in 3 Minutes

I'm a 4th generation Texan, and I have lived my entire life in Texas. We took Texas history in public schools. I was fascinated by it back then, as I am now. I've been to all the places mentioned in this video in my 66 years. If you're from Texas, it should be a prerequisite to learn and visit this great state's history.

[@MasterCraft325]

That's not what we've been taught in Mexico's schools. In Mexico, they told us that Texas wanted legal slavery and Mexico wanted to free slaves and that's why the Texas revolution started. It's funny that each country teaches according to their point of view but we need to know both to approach the truth.

[@fernandomilmo1676]

You are correct, Daniel. One of the biggest reasons Texas sought its independence was because they wanted to keep and bring more slaves. Another reason was that they wanted to regain the freedoms Federalism granted them in the constitution of 1824. There are many other reasons. I can't give this video a like because it leaves the whole debate of slavery out.

[@TheDaytripper]

You're both right. Read the declaration of independence and there are lots of reasons. Too many for a three minute video. Santa Anna's power grab had made him a dictator. Broken promises from the 1824 constitution. Slavery.

[@t4texastom587]

@@fernandomilmo1676 Why SOME people want to believe that slavery was the reason that the war for Texas Independence was fought is almost comical. Santa Anna, and no one else in Mexico gave a rat's rear-end about slavery in the U.S., or anywhere else for that matter. As everyone knows, Santa Anna and his thugs had plenty of their own slaves. So why would he give a crap about someone else using slaves. And besides, few Anglos residing in Texas and willing to fight for Texas owned slaves in the first place.🇺🇲

[@ThesL_CF]

It was cause they thought texas should be apart of the us

[@wdavis6814]

The Texas Revolution wasn't necessarily all for slavery. Nevertheless, slavery was practiced in the region despite the Mexican Constitution forbidding it. But this fact did lead Southern Democrats in the 1840s to hatch a plan where Texas would be added as a state to the American Union. Thereby, adding an additional slave state to Congress helping other slave states fight for slavery on the floors of the U.S. Congress. This ultimately culminated in the American Mexican War, which would, in turn, lead to the U.S. Civil War. Greed and tyranny, when you boil it down, would ultimately result in over one million Americans dying. Luckily, slavery was outlawed in the end. You do bring up a good point about how different regions teach history sometimes so differently. Humans are funny.

Goliad is a must. A visit to the grave of Fanin and his brave men will let you know that all the goodies we have in this state came at a HUGE cost.

[@rogerborroel4707]

186 years ago, federalist Mexican forces captured the Alamo fort, it was a GREAT Mexican victory! Nice to see that Texans celebrate a Mexican victory. Then on Palm Sunday, American pirates were leggally executed at Goliad to a tune of 445 illegal alien rebels from the ports of the North!

[@t4texastom587]

Roger Borroel Just so you'll know, 185 yrs. ago, right there in the same Alamo building where Santa Anna and his murderous thugs headed to eventually get their asses kicked by the brave Texan army at San Jacinto in 1836, a mexican garrison of an unknown quantity were defeated by the Texans and instead of being "Leggally" slaughtered, were given the opportunity to return to their homes in mexico. If you are going to leave stupid AND incorrect comments dude......at least learn how to spell.🇺🇲

@@jak6589 The Alamo defenders in the end stole a land that was not theirs and are not really heroes.

Today there are 40 MILLION Mexicans here in all trades and political offices, did they really loose? Plus, they were here BEFORE any Europeans came here too.

[@walterknight2947]

The Texicans (both white and brown skinned) who died at the Alamo did not die for slavery. Those 180 plus men died for freedom denied them by a Mexican Dictator. Over the Alamo for 13 days they did fly the American flag. They did not flay a Texas flag. Instead they flew the Mexican flag. A Mexican flag with the numbers 1832 added to it, is what the Texas fighters flew over the Alamo. 1823 was the year of the most democratic constitution in the world. It freed the slaves of Mexico. It provided many basic freedoms the men had in their old homes of Tennessee and Kentucky. Freedoms trashed by the Dictator Santa Anna. The freedom loving Texans clearly supported the Mexican Constitution of 1836. So the Texas did not die for slavery as proven by their flag. What did they die for. Lt. COL Travis wrote passionately as to what was most important to him, freedom from a tyrant of Mexico. His letters written during the siege of the Alamo. Right before he gave his last full measure. Then when in Mexico There was no constitutional right to keep and bare arms. They fought off a group of Mexican soldiers when the soldiers came to take their cannon. They fought for the right to defend themselves. And the defense of this cannon is now a symbol used today to support OUR constitution right to keep and bear arms without government infringement.

[@HenryDiaz-kg6lc]

Wrong again muchacho, they wanted slavery

[@Shadowrifta]

Rule of Thumb: Don't Mess With Texas.

[@billmundell4512]

The Texans did not want to revolute they just want to live by the constitution of 1821. That is why you see the Mexican flag flying over the Alamo with the numbers 1821. Austin went to Santa Ann to say this. Austin was put into jail for this idea. It was later when the Texans knew that Santa Anna would not go by the 1821 Constitution that the Texans decided to fight for Independence.
