lorenzo zavala TRAIDOR A LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS VENDE PATRIA ...

My ancestors...Ybarbo, de la Cerda, Chireno

I've told my Georgia friends this, but they think I'm just a bragging Texan. It ain't bragging if you've done it.

YOung Dr. F.- superb.

That Mexican that showed up dressed in a Mexican Uniform is obviously still upset with that FACT that the United States won the Mexican War, which Mexico STARTED. They US Conquered Mexico and COULD have taken the entire country, but did not. In addition. the US Government PAID Mexico 15 million dollars for the land it had already captured. This is an OLD Story and Mexico is now invading US.

Liberals= Masons= Luciferians

Thanks for the info! I really enjoyed your presentation!!

The first Texas constitution established slavery. One of the first laws was to expel all free Blacks from Texas. The Texas revolution was all about slavery.

Has Dr Hardin ever once stood his ground against an overwhelming force - or even stood over looking any enemy force where his life may end on that day? The answer is an obvious NO!! 189 men stood their ground against some 3,000 knowing that death was eminent, yet they fought to the last man killing at least 600 Mexicans. Hardin is filled with bluster and a disdain for the military because he himself is a coward who never served. As for the line in the sand - It was drawn the moment these men entered the Alamo. Why is it that so many liberals make it their just cause to destroy things like honor and loyalty? because they have none of their own....

So there was historically speaking a time when a KING was acknowledged to have ruled here. COTTON?

The rapid development of technology combined with the avarice surely contributed to the continuation of slavery. 1786 steam power is invented and the cotton gin in 1793. These inventions made the large scale production of cotton cloth possible. Governments were attempting to eliminate slavery. England abolished the importation of slaves in 1807 and America in 1808. Money, however, trumped morality for a time though. Neither the Alamo nor the War Between the States were inevitable. I recently visited the Alamo. Slavery and Mexican sovereignty are not themes presented there. Yes, the victorious often write history.

A great learn and experience.. ya'll come out!

Also why don't talk about Lorenzo de Zavala?

Great lecture but Why wait until Q&A to talk about slavery?

unbearable. This guy is trying way too hard....

Un "liberal" que ayudo a crear un República con Esclavistas, además, fue falso que hubiera un dictadura: el congreso emitió un decreto y siguió existiendo, solo se cambió la forma de administrar el país. El señor, que no era precisamente una "blanca paloma" seguramente buscaba fusionar ese nuevo país a EEUU, para adquirir la nacionalidad y seguir haciendo carrera política en USA, ya que en México estaba muy desprestigiado.

This is an excerptional talk in using the Alamo to explore how myth, legend and imagination , how we interpret events, often are more mportant than the facts of the event itself. My only concern is the lack of mention of slavery as part of the function of that event.

To try to diminish slavery as a significant and crucial driving aspect for Texian Independence is willful blindness. Was it the only factor? No.Was it central? Yes. Just look at the number of slaves that flooded Texas after independence. There is a forest and there are trees. Austin's constant behavior is telling. What was part and parcel of "Texas general defiance attitude" .A ream of data and the Texas Constitution which is incredibly extensive abiout slavery, says otherwise. The beliefs of a part of the garrison does not tell the entire story. Individual soldiers in Vietnam may not have fought for American imperial or anti Communist reasons in a war for naional independence by the Vietnamese, but those who shaped the policies and those who profited from it did. The stated aims of policy makers often leave great truths unsaid.

MY 7 GREAT GRAND FATHER TOMAS SANCHEZ (FOUNDER OF LAREDO)AND MY 8 GREAT GRAND FATHER JOSE VASQUEZ BORREGO FOUNDER OF : San Juan de Casta, Las Encinas, El Borrego, Las Sardinas, Hacienda San Juan del Alamo, San Ygnacio, Corralitos, Hacienda del Rosario and Nuestra Senora de los Dolores

Amazing talk!

Let me say this, you keep pushing people to the point where people go rise

😢😢😢😢

Dr. Conrad was my professor and this video demonstrates his scholarship, contribution to Native American studies, and his influence on several fields. As I watched this video, I learned several components about Native American, Texas history, and U.S. history! Dr. Conrad did an outstanding job!

This guy knows very well that slot of what he says is not true. Juan Seguin was turned on against by the traitor Texans and forced to go back to the country he had fought against. He is full of shit.

Thanks for posting.

Why not call Joe Travis a slave? It's not like he was there for the pay...

Should see the video history of the Texas rangers

Need to clear why USA excluded ownership of Mexican American owned land. Results of treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo promised they could keep

Very informative all Mexican Americans need to know this.

Typical for thems , hide & wait to runaway.

Too bad JOE didn't have the brains to snuff out Travis during the fighting at the Alamo !

Fighting for " liberty " while owning a slave ? That sounds about right ?

Sam Houston didn't do it for Texas. A traitor before Texas becomes a country.

The typical down play of whites in Texas.

What about Navarro?

Mexico wanted immigrants from the USA because they couldn't get Mexicans to settle Texas because of the indians like the Comanche, Apache, Karankawa and others.

A Texan is somebody born in Texas.

The Americans helped Mexico win it's independence from Spain.

Cattle originally from Europe.

just picked up the " Texas Illiad " any thought on this book ?

Oh my god this guy was my US history professor. He was one of the best teachers I've ever had. So glad to have found this; it's like I get to be back in his class again.

This is fascinating material....but, after revealing the mythical nature of the Alamo story, the speaker seemed to "cop-out" at the very end...which kind've blew me away.

She was only half Tejana and was raised in Anglo culture. She didn’t even speak Spanish.

The battle of the Alamo is the most important and most significant historical aspect of those missions. Without the battle and the greater Texas revolution, most people wouldn’t care about those missions at all. It’s like you’re trying to downplay the battle. When it’s the entire reason we remember the Alamo in the first place. You’re trying to uplift others while rendering Anglo Texans to a lower status. The Cowboy hat was invented by Stetson an American. In fact while the American Cowboy originated with Mexican Vaqueros. It soon took on a life and culture of its own. A mixture of frontier and Victorian values with vestiges of chivalry. Another point is that you seem to be disregarding the whole reason that Anglos were invited in the first place. It was because the land was very sparsely populated. Yet you make it seem like it was very densely populated by non Anglos. As if there were just as many Tejanos as there were Anglos. If that were the case there would have been no reason to invite Anglos in the first place. The fact is that by the time of the Texas revolution the Anglos were easily the overwhelming majority. The Anglos were the founding population of the Texas Republic. Steven F. Austin is the father of Texas an Anglo. Now I’m not trying to downplay the Tejanos many of them fought bravely and deserve to be remembered as Texas heroes. However I find it odd that you never mentioned the many Tejanos that were against the Texas revolution and independence from Mexico. Now what is a Texan ? Well that can be defined through Texan culture. Some aspects of Texas culture and identity are in no particular order as follows. 1.) Cowboys and country music. 2.) Chili and especially with no beans. 3.) Blue bonnets. 4.) Texas English. The founding fathers of Texas spoke English. So it makes sense that they would found an English speaking nation. 5.) supporting the right to keep and bare arms. 6.) Chicken fried Steak. 7.) Texas legends and myths like the Marfa lights, El Muerto, Lechuza, and the tales of various Texas outlaws. Like John Westly Hardin, Sam Bass and Bonnie and Clyde. 8.) remembering the Alamo. 9.) the belief that everything is bigger (and better) in Texas. And these are just off the top of my head.

12:30 Alamo strategic value

Were the Alamo defenders angels. No Were Alamo defenders flawed and pro slavery. Very Were Alamo defenders brave. Yes Did several Alamo defenders surrender. Yes Davy was cool but washed out looking for a fresh start. Travis was a player. Bowie was scammer who made a new knife he never got any rolyalties for and was depressed and drunk about his wife dying. Were Mexicans evil. No (many forced to fight) Did Mexicans give defenders a a chance to surrender at first. Yes Was Santa Ana himself evil? Not at first but by the time of Alamo, yes Was Mexican government abusing new settlers? No, they actually spoiled them at first In Santa Ana’s defense he started by appeasing the Americans. He gave them rights Mexicans didn’t even have. And the Americans spit in his face and still rebelled bc they get paranoid if even there is a hint they might lose their slaves. So he was not mad, he was f*cking furious but I can’t condone killing prisoners. Myself and the world as a whole draws a line, even in war, and we have to label people, bad or evil, when they kill people who have surrendered. Throw them in a Mexico City jail but you can’t kill them cold blooded like that.

Only now do I realize most of Texas History I learned in school was a lie. Granted history is written by the winners so it’s nothing new…

??? C'mon....

shout out lacson

13 days to raise and train soldier's? that's undoable at anytime ...except 2175 when it could happen.
