Also, one man did take Barrett’s offer to leave. He lived to tell the tale. Forgot his name

*well, not all was told. I understand this was just a brief vid, but nevertheless. 1- Mexican politics were a mess back then with the only positive thing was the abolishment of slavery in 1825. 2- Land grants were handed out in order for people to settle Tejas ON CONDITION. a- become catholic b-speak spanish c- no slaves. (at least for the future) 3- Austin, Travis, Bowie and others were slave owners. 4- Thinks went out of control with the vast migration of settlers coming in from primary the South U.S. 5- Lots of slaves in the South, why? KING COTTON. 6- Labor (ie: slaves) were needed in Texas in order to develop the cotton industry. 7- when Santa Anna tried to clamp down on this--- the settlers got upset and the ball got rolling. 8- i cannot begin to Imagin what those men went through in the Alamo knowing there was no hope. Must've been a terrible battle. 9- I'm happy I live in Texas, not happy with the GOP. And happy I'm in the US. not Mexico 😃

The story as you explained it was completely white washed... you should investigate before you post.. Typical though.. Not heroes.. The land was granted under conditions but as usual entitlement kicked in so the rebellion was addressed for wanting to continue to be slave owners which was illegal in that area and part of the conditions for the granted opportunities... I'm from San Antonio and this view is somewhat disrespectful and misleading....
