[@WarhawkYT]

We will go back to the civil war after this. I’ve been working on the civil war for 3 years and I’ve been kinda burnt out on it.

[@WyomingTraveler]

I understand burn out. I enjoyed your Civil War series a lot. I am also enjoying the Texas Revolution series. I lived in San Antonio for 15 years, so was familiar with many of the locations you discussed in this video. @@WarhawkYT

this is pretty great. Hope you will cover the American-Mexican war as well.

[@nagel133]

very impressed that you actually use an accurate map of early texas

[@Jdcie]

Heck yeah!!! Warhawk is back! I love your style. You taught me a lot about the early Civil War that I had no clue about. You really put it into a perspective that showed just how intense and high stakes it was for all sides. A tenuous power balance and brutal slug match; what a terrible thing for our countrymen to go through. If you ever delve back into the mid-late eras, I'm there!

[@thetapheonix]

Just found your channel. I’m a history buff and a native of San Antonio. You’ve clearly done your homework. Very well done, I’ll be sticking around and I look forward to watching more of your work.

[@alexanderswift6362]

Awesome. :-)@@WarhawkYT

[@R34LI7Y]

The fact that you are calling the two sides Federalists and Centralists means you did more research than 90% of the people who’ve covered this conflict already

[@WarhawkYT]

If it’s one thing I know, it’s the Texas Revolution. Being a native Texan and history buff, I’ve deep dived into the history. Making sure my information is up to stuff. One thing you might notice in the later videos, I quit calling them those terms as we get to the Declaration of Independence. Now the fight is between two countries.

[@projectforce3727]

I like your videos. Your maps look complicated yet simple at the same time.

[@WarhawkYT]

Glad you like them!

[@andrewphillips8341]

[@javel114]

Your channel is amazing! The most I as a finn has learned about U.S battles history. Especially the civil war. Texas is ofc an important part as an border state and one of the most recent joined states, and the contemporary situation looks a bit like finland, we got rushed by "refugees" from russia, and closed the border.

[@javel114]

And nothing new with intrusions from the opfor. Most people arriving at our border are combat aged men, from Syria, Afghanistan etc.. Plus our international police branch estimates 40% of about 150 workers at the Russian embassy in helsinki are on espionage mission.

[@Bobby_TX-210]

This was a very well researched and executed video. One thing though, here in San Antonio when we pronounce Bexar like the word Bear, the x is silent.

[@vincnetjones3037]

The given number of Texian dead and wounded during the 3 day battle to take the Town's Plaza just don't tally with the Mexican dead. This is close quarter house to house fighting and would have left probably equal numbers of dead on either side. Mexican moral never broke during their steady push back into the Town centre. They had a small company of sharp shooters in reserve and twice flanked the Texians [both beaten off]. Wikipedia gives different numbers completely. Anyone have any idea of the real numbers of dead and wounded during this intense 3 day battle during the overall siege. Also sieges of length in this period would have produced many non-combat dead. Any thoughts and points would be great.

[@WarhawkYT]

Besides the 750 captured (the remaining army), my causalities mirrors the one on Wikipedia.

[@youngarchivest9092]

Great video and love your civil war series! Man, it is so crazy how poorly the Mexican Army's forces are. I get that most of the army was demoralized and had no interest in fighting, but how are they still numerically superior but yet still can barely graze the Texans? I am guessing most of the Mexican army was conscripted and fired their guns only a handful of times ever before being sent into battle. Not to mention the Texans superior rifles, commanders and fighting spirit.

[@WarhawkYT]

Yeah, their men were not happy being there, their guns and ammunition sucked. Actually at Concepcion, one Texian was hit by a bullet and it bounced off because the Mexican powder was horrible. Did you watch my army composition section?

[@danielkitchens4512]

Good history that gets little notice in today's world.

[@loslobos786]

I read somewhere that the reason the Mexican Army's marksmanship was so bad in these battles was because the French & English had sold them old Muskets with barrels so worn down they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn? In your research have you come upon anything like this explanation?

[@WarhawkYT]

Oh yes definitely, the Mexicans bought all the surplus rifles from the European powers. Probably guns used during the napoleonic wars. Not only that but what I told another, they also bought poor powder as well. Theres a few reports of Texians being shot but the balls just bouncing off because they had no power behind their shots. When the Texians captured Mexican powder, they would just dump it because it was useless compared to the powder they have.

[@loslobos786]

@@WarhawkYT thank you, I had heard about the bullets bouncing off but I had always thought that was obvious propaganda. However hearing about the Powder being so bad it all makes sense now. Again thank you. Keep up the good work love your stuff.

In a 3 day, house to house fight, the Mexican garrison only inflicted 35 casualties on a 700 man force? What are they shooting at?

[@WarhawkYT]

Besides the Alamo and Coleto Creek, the Mexicans have a hard time killing the Texians. The texians used modern rifles compared to the brown besses of the Mexican army. Yeah that might be the standard infantry gun of the day but also, one note people don’t take into consideration is the quality of the powder. The powder that the Mexicans used was cheap and did not have the same hitting power compared to the texians. There are reports of some Mexican balls bouncing off the Texians because their powder was so useless.
