TEXAS: U.S. EXPANSION

More than 20 years ago filmmaker Don Klugman manually zoomed and panned across hand-colored historic pictures to tell the story of Texas: a tale of Spanish conquest, Mexican sovereignty, independence and U.S. statehood.

If Yu accept the information that is being thought in U.S schools,you are most likely to succeed.You can't fight against the system and expect to win.Work for the system and u live a good life.

What kind of Marxist bullshit is this?

The Mexican messenger at the beginning of the Alamo war, and the general kill the messenger, because they want the land,so

Jajaja, una vez más los estadounidenses aplicando su toque para justificar su historia. Ya dejen de publicar estos videos que para este tiempo son más que risibles.

This video is by far the best video on youtube for Texas History. Thank you so much Mr. Klugman! We just moved to Texas and I am using it to teach my nieces Texas History. You Rock Sir!

[@LilSickofrmPtown]

I suggest you get an alternate perspective so your niece gets both sides of the story. This video is pretty biased.

[@LilSickofrmPtown]

LilSickofrmPtown Not a bad video however

[@scottosborn4110]

LilSickofrmPtown How is it biased?

[@donklugman]

Scott Osborn I'm glad you've asked that question, Scott. I'll be interested to see the reply (if there is one).

[@scottosborn4110]

Me too...

[@fcr7577]

Wonderful.

[@marciasmith5010]

This video offers by far, the most student-friendly treatment of the Texas-US saga. Santa Ana's position on the "to be or not to be" of Texas and the US, allows for a less damning perception of the young militant Mexican who had thrown off the yoke of Spanish domination! Nationalism,motivated Santa Ana, Manifest Destiny (a species of nationalism) motivated the Americans Where does the blame for the Alamo rest? "We hold these truths to be self-evident ..."

[@donklugman]

Yes, Marcia. History's "good guys" and "bad guys" were thinking human beings who behaved logically in terms of their backgrounds and perceptions. Watch for upcoming postings of my histories of World War I and World War II.

[@marciasmith5010]

Don Klugman I appreciate your response. I look forward to the WWs!

[@ceaserverduzco7102]

The real reason of this fight was the money of another president name BENITO JUAREZ , who was good friend with George washinton ,by asking for the money and no been pay on time that was the reason of the invasion of the Mexican land, due to the desire of expansion of land for the usa nation
