    I've visited the Alamo many times and heard the stroies. Of course I have not seen anthing out ofthe ordinary. You may like the folowing, About 5 years ago I visited the Mexican History Museum which to Americans is the Halls of Montezuma. In a room called "The Alamo" is a tall glass case which held the flag of the New Orleans Grays, 2 pistols, 2 long guns and a pennant of black, red and white boarder. In the center is the Skull and Cross bones. On a wood sled is a small cannon, (2lb?) Across the room is the small box holding Santa Anna's pistols and shoulder boards. In the far end there is the origional 1824 Mexican Constitution. No where in the museum is a picture of Santa Anna. One mone long wall are depictions of all the Mexican Heros but Santa Anna is not among them.

    Interesting reference, when opponents of the Texas annexation from Mexico to the United States was occuring, members and politicians from the northern free states like Massachusetts and Maine states that of the main justifications for the annexation and war with Mexico, many were falsehoods and fabrications to instigate a war as a defensive part when it wasn’t, then quoted LA SALLES Voyages as of the claims of the Texans to territory but it was a known falsehood to justify their claim to Texas and their right to take it from Mexico. The exact quote is here “ Set up rights which are impossible to sustain in a serious discussion, and to bring forward ridiculously pretensions, founded upon historical facts that are admitted by nobody, such as LASALLES VOYAGES, now known to be a falsehood, but which serves as a point for their claim to Texas.”

    “I spent New Year’s day on the battle ground counting dead Indians. There were not as many killed as was reported. There was not more than one hundred and thirty killed, but most of them were women and children and all of them scalped.” - Silas Soule Jan. 8, 1865 I respect the dedication for working on making a comprehensive video but it seems immensely one sided with the evidence or lack there of included in the video. That was a first hand account of a man who would later testify. Yes different regiments claimed different numbers of casualties and different percentages of women and children, but you seem to nullify the fact that almost all testimonies concluded that women and children were an integral number of the dead.

Of course than you wouldn’t be punished for being racist and genocide wasn’t a punishable crime until The Holocaust. Abraham Lincoln doesn’t deserve blame for it because it wasn’t under his control and he and Congress did investigate and condemn them.
