This is also a great example of why taking prisoners is not just humane, but strategic. Fannin’s soldiers surrendered because they believed it was their best chance of survival. When news spread of their execution, it galvanized the Texians, and showed them that there would be no mercy, meaning their best chance to survive was to fight to the death

Texas and its Independence? Texas did NOT fight for its Independence. These territories were stolen from Mexico by Pirates, with the support of the United States Gov't. It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes?

The authors of many of the books I've read on the Texas Revolution have struggled with Fannin. The politicians trying to run the Texas government loved the guy because he'd been at West Point, conveniently ignoring the fact that Fannin never graduated, having dropped out after his second year. Fannin knew he was no commander, a fact he admitted in a Feb.14, 1836, letter he wrote to James Robinson, the then-acting governor of Texas: "I do not desire any command, and particularly that of chief. I know, if you and the council do not, that I am incompetent. Fortune, and brave soldiers, may favor me and save the State, and establish for me a reputation far beyond my deserts. I do not covet, and I do earnestly ask of you . . . to relieve me, and make a selection of one possessing all the requisites of a commander." On Feb. 22, Fannin wrote the brass: "I am a better judge of my military abilities than others, and if I am qualified to command an Army, I have not found it out." In over his head as a C in C, but unquestionably brave. A good fighter (under the right circumstances). As Houston described him, Fannin was "an ill-fated man."

Well, this is something. Great. Although, Fannin had a West Point education he shows hesitation and indecision in regards to his men. He could have left Goliad before Urrea came and trapped him. Fannin was overconfident in his belief that his men could beat Mexican soldiers. Him staying at Goliad was his downfall. He showed indecision in not supporting the defenders at the Alamo and not listening to Sam Houston. The massacre at Goliad was seen in Gone to Texas and Texas Rising. After news of the massacre at Goliad reached Houston, the Texian hatred for Mexicans grew. Now, they had two battle cries. "Remember the Alamo!, Remember Goliad!"

There were several survivors of the initial musket volleys who then ran like hell. Some escaped, but many did not. Some of the survivors left accounts, as did some of the Mexican officers.

I don't blame Santa Anna for the executions, he was doing what every person who cares about his country would do against rebels. It's easy to blame him as a monster, when you remember the Americans later took Utah, California etc in the Mexican-American War (which I hope, you make a series). I feel bad for Urrea, such a great commander but was overshadowed by Santa Anna's recklessness and stupidity. Had he been the overall commander, I think he'd defeat the Texians. He could have been the Scipio to Sam Houstin/Hannibal. Sad that he faded away in history for his lack of political power.

Idk man, we didn't need to execute our rebels in our own Civil War.

Santa Anna overthrew his own country's constitution to seize power, then committed heinous war crimes against any who objected. I definitely do blame Santa Anna.

To the Mexicans that keep demanding for us to return to y'all, we will not because of this incident. We do not forget Goliad or the Alamo up here.

After Santa Ana lost the and moved to New Jersey. He tried to sell an artificial rubber product that didn't work. So he added flavor and sugar to it 😂 and called it chewing gum. Yes Santa Ana lost the war and invented chewing gum and sold it in New Jersey.

Didn’t bother watching the whole video. What’s the difference between white Spanish and white Anglos and what you all have done through history other than just a fraction of what you all have done since arriving here illegally!

Get out of here with your misinformation "Austin's Colony was the first and largest Anglo-American settlement in Mexican Texas and was established by Stephen F. Austin in 1821. It was authorized by the Mexican government and allowed for the introduction of 300 families into Texas. Austin received permission to introduce an additional 1700 families into the colony between 1825 and 1831 under the terms of four colonization contracts made with the state of Coahuila and Texas under Mexican laws providing land for immigrants. By the time the colonial land offices were closed in 1835, almost 1,000 land titles had been issued in Austin's Colony." There is many historical accounts and records that prove that the Mexican government invited anglo settlers
