I love that I live so close to this monument I see it everyday I will never get tired of seeing it

[@juliosifuentes6499]

But the smell if those refineries, yuk!

[@mojosvideos2298]

We used to picnic here as a kid. That museum is awesome

[@chiefbobdavis99]

Happy San Jacinto Day! Best 18 minutes in history!!

[@marthagomez7335]

We got you back at the battle of salado creek where Mexican troops lead by a French brigadier general crushed the texians in 1842. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 remember Juan Cortina’s raids!!!

I watched the Video by the man who manages the San Jacinto Battlefield. In the background I could see the TALL GRASS and the rise in the ground that the Texans used to sneak up on Santa Anna's army. They managed to get with 50 to 75 yards of the Mexican army then opened fire on the Mexicans. A Total Surprise attack while the Mexicans were taking a nap late in the afternoon. Santa Anna was Overconfident and lost the battle of only 18 minutes.

If you haven't gone, go. If you already have been there, go again.

[@istudyyou2130]

You can take a small ferry Rid not too far from the Monument.

[@garymarshall5296]

The San Jacinto Battleground is not in La Porte, it's in Deer Park

[@orochimaru3950]

Which is why I'm confused. I just moved to Deer Park and I'm right down the street... but address says La Port.

I like Texas videos, from the imperial co California.

Birthday Pasadena Tx 1970 .

[@pamelarose1834]

Texans need to rally at La Porte and support defending our border.

[@mattjahnke239]

Thank you.

[@dannyramirez8094]

There’s no stopping it, like white settlers illegally coming to Texas in the 1830s.

[@pamelarose1834]

How about the French and Spanish in the !500 and !600? Or the previous migrations throughout history? Or maybe you might be a racist? I live on a Spanish Land Grant from 1506. The conquistadores killed everyone to take this land. And then later sold it to settlers moving west. When was your land stolen?@@dannyramirez8094

@@dannyramirez8094the whites came and built. The others come to destroy.

[@Texasbluestunes]

@@dannyramirez8094they emigrated legally.. land grants administered by the governor in Coahuila. My 5th great grandfather Green DeWitt named the town of Gonzales after the Governor of Coahuila, Don Rafael Gonzales. Mexico needed at least a buffer zone and possibly another group of people to defeat the Comanches, which the Spanish and Mexicans never could.

Not the same since you can't see the battleship texas....

[@mattjahnke239]

I know. I hate that, but what can you do?

[@Bowie_knife_713]

Tejano pride

[@rogerborroel4707]

It's way about time that some type of Memorial be erected in honor of the Mexican troops who fell there and made it Holy ground. What's more worthy, some column, or the spilled blood there that made it a Holy cemetery?

[@Juggernaut-fg2up]

That area is so incredibly polluted it's not funny. Look at these peoples eyes you can see how sick they are

[@Bowie_knife_713]

It's surrounded by chemical plants for miles.

[@Juggernaut-fg2up]

@@Bowie_knife_713 absolutely. I am permanently disabled from a chemical injury from one of those refineries, it destroyed my entire life

[@chelleroberson3222]

Tell the real story about what the battle was really about ? ....slavery

[@cameraman655]

Why don’t you enlighten us, “Woke Chelle...” No doubt you were there...

I think you are mistaking the civil war with the war for texas independence
