As a Texan myself, they teach us this stuff religiously. This video didn’t mention how the Alamo was so vital, as the hundred men defending it literally managed to kill 1500 of Mexico’s army!! You should watch the movie The Alamo made in 2004! I watched it in school when I was a kid back when the movie was brand new. It’s a good watch!
Uh no, the Mexicans had about 1,800 troops to assault the Alamo and about a third of them killed or wounded. Say around 600. Still that's about 3 men killed/wounded per every 1 Texian as there was close to 200 defenders. I think you're confusing casualty counts of the whole war which puts Mexican killed and wounded at around 1500. I agree the movie though is very poggers.
@@TKDragon75 My teacher told me the Mexicans lost like a thousand men, but he could’ve been wrong. That dude was crazy! What does Poggers mean??
I prefer the John Wayne movie version myself, but what the hell, folks have their own favorites of the story.
Yep, I still have my William Travis letter memorized
@@TKDragon75 -- thanks for making the correction.
Guy really glossed over the Alamo. Every person was given the option to leave by stepping over a line drawn in the sand before the Mexicans had arrived. Only one chose to flee. The rest were willing to fight to the death. The Alamo was a battle lost in order to win a war. That is why the Alamo is special.
Also, Davy Crockett was famous for his raccoon skin cap and also his saying "you can all go to hell and I will go to Texas."
That one probably regretted it the rest of his life.
Well, about 50 went over the wall during the assault and were cut down by the Mexican cavalry
"You may go to hell, I will go too Texas." Davy Crockett
That "Come and Take it." Sure hit then and it definitely hit now.
The San Jacinto Monument is the world's tallest war memorial, standing 15 feet taller than the Washington Monument and honors all those who fought for Texas' independence. Yeah! Texans are a proud people!
When you come to the US, you need to visit the Alamo. It is a very moving place.
I agree though the Plaza and Mission is currently being renovated...I believe you can still visit the site.
I have had a couple of relatives tell me how much they wanted to look around the oldest town in Texas when they were visiting the area
I actually watched my grandson play a 🏈 game in Gonzalez, Tx last week! The massacre in Goliad was important, too. I live about 25 miles away from there now. It is an important part of this time, too. My 5th great grandfather was the oldest signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. I love my state and our love of Freedom.
Hey! Me too, I live near Goliad, there are a lot of super interesting historical areas. That being said, as a born Houstonian, there are many such areas around here, Port Lavaca, Indianola, Matagorda and on.
32 Men from Gonzalez, TX fought their way IN to the Alamo and fought there to their death.
The cool part about Texas is how much we're taught Texas history in particular, especially the Texas Revolution
That's not the cool part. I bet they dont mention how broke Texas was and needed help paying its bills but Congress said no the first time.
@@jacklewis5452 they did when I went to school. They also taught about how Sam Houston tried to get us admitted into the United States twice before Anson Jones finally did in 1845.
Florida teaches state history in 4th and 7ths grade as well
proud to live in San Antonio, Texas. such an historical place and I couldn't see myself living anywhere else
Sure. The Lousiana purchase is interesting. And the Lewis & Clark expedition that first explored it. That would be a good one.
There was a TV mini series: Texas Rising. It sort of lays out what happened after the Alamo. It gives a good portrayal of why Texas owes its formation to a woman. An interesting thing about Texas is you had the collision of three entirely different "Empires." You had the Spanish aka Mexican Empire which had it's own language, laws and culture. You had Americans who moved there, comprised largely of northern Europeans, with their totally different language, laws and culture. And then you had the Comanche, a people with a separate language, laws and culture. All three of these "Empires" ran head-long into each other - in Texas. Texas was a separate country before it became a state. That's why, even today, a Texan will still say they're a Texan before they say they're an American.
Absolutely correct on your last sentence... I'm a Texan before all else
God bless texas
Texas sucks
@@jacklewis5452 don't confuse Texas with your mom.
Santa Anna, a womanizer, was distracted in his tent before the battle by a beautiful freed slave named Emily West. She was the legendary Yellow Rose if Texas. At least that's how the story goes.
The story of the Yellow Rose of Texas is lost to myth & legend. She was probably a hostage rumored to be Emily Morgan and had no choice in the matter. There is a slight chance she seduced Santa Ana by choice & got messages in & out of his camp sporadically. Her identity was kept secret long after the battle so she may well have been a spy & her identity has been questioned by some historians.
@Atheos B. Sapien
A freed slave is free. She was already free in Texas. Everybody hated Santa Anna the dictator.
@Atheos B. Sapien Santa Ana proved she wouldn't be free in either.
I’m a TEXAN , great reaction of the great state of Texas! 🇺🇸💪😉
Jim Bowie, who died at the Alamo was my 5th great uncle
The Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 was the proving ground for the commanders of Union and Confederate forces during the US Civil War.
A portion of the Alamo still stands today. It takes up a whole city block in downtown San Antonio.
Bees, there is an old country singer/story teller Marty Robins he has a great song that pretty much sums ups the battle of the Alamo. It's a quick listen but a good one.
The reason why the Texans at Gonzales were originally allowed that canon has to do with defense against raids on the town by Comanche horsemen.
My family came to Texas in 1832 and did a large part in founding the government of Texas. As a result our family walks in 2 worlds and both are firmly rooted in stubbornness. I am a Parker and will always be a Texan first.
Yea, the Americans have never been good at surrendering. The vid on "The Star Spangled Banner" in the War of 1812, The Alamo and Goliad in Texas, and Pearl Harbor. The many forts and frontier towns by Native Americans. You would think people would just stop. We might squabble amongst ourselves, but they don't want to give us a reason to focus on them.
The Star Spangled Banner as You've Never Seen It video is very inaccurate. It's a misrepresentation of the actual events.
You mentioned how smart the Texans played things after capturing Santa Anna. But you have to remember that many of these men were experienced politicians and businessmen from the U S. Sam Houston was a lawyer who had served 2 terms as a state representative and as governor of Tennessee of Tennessee before emigrating to Texas. They are often portrayed as uneducated backwoods men, but they were far from that.
And Santa Anna was sent to the US who then returned him to Mexico.
Sam Houston was not the only president of Texas. Mirabeau Lamar and Anson Jones were also presidents.
That is true and they were very acquainted with each other.
There's a huge carnival type celebration in San Antonio and surrounding called Fiesta that celebrates Texas' defeat against Santa Anna.
It's a great time if you ever get the opportunity.
And the Come and Take it in Gonzales.
Texas is the greatest country on earth
You should watch some videos by Kings and Generals or epic history TV. They both make great history documentaries. They are pretty long but pretty entertaining. I would suggest watching either Epic history TV’s video on Alexander the Great, or Kings and General’s video on the Mongol empire
I'm sure lots know this. But it was 185 soldiers comprised of native Americans, Tennessee volunteers, and Texans holding back 6,500 Mexican soldiers for 10 days
You are leaving out Mexicans or Tejanos. One in every six men was a Tejano in the Álamo.
@@cyberassassin2012 I count them as Texan
I’m not sure if his dates are off or not. My great great…. Grandfather came to Texas in 1821 and was the Empresario of Brazoria. The town Goliad is pronounced Go Lee Ad.
Yes please react to the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican American War and the Spainish American War!
Don’t mess with Texas - Established, 1836
Beesley, back in 1960, the movie icon John Wayne starred in "The Alamo" as Davy Crockett. I hope you're able to find it at a local library, or online. It's a great movie!
Yea that is a good movie. There is also a newer version that is good staring Dennis Quaid.
@@G-grandma_Army , except for a very few, such as the amazing remake of the old black & white version of 1936's Last of the Mohicans, I've found, in my personal opinion, that so many are disappointing. Case in point was "The 300". The old one from 1962, called "300 Spartans", had the Spartans acting dignified and brave, whereas in the new one, they all acted like they were high on something, and did these ridiculous aerial gymnastics in the battle scenes.
In so many remakes these days, they'll do this sort of thing, move things at a 100mph pace, and/or trash it up with a ton of '4-letter' words, since today's moviegoers supposedly can't handle decent "Leave it to Beaver"-type material. I hope I haven't offended you, but that's my personal opinion.
@@jimgreen5788 the Last Mohicans is one of my favorite movies. I didn’t know there was an older version. But I personally did like the Dennis Quaid version of The Alamo, too. Of course, no one can ever outdo John Wayne, IMO 🙂.
I'm a John Wayne guy, and his version of The Alamo is great, not nearly as historically accurate as the Dennis Quaid one, but it's better in terms of production and entertainment value.
One big reason they allowed settlers into Texas was to create a buffer between Mexico and the Comanches indians, who the Mexican government could never control or defeat thier raiding parties.
A funny fact that wasn't mentioned in the video that I learned in history a few weeks back was that they captured Santa Ana in his undergarments and out of uniform, so his own men didn't realize it was him and didn't protect him.
Kraut has quite a bit about these frontier zones th-cam.com/video/SPs6tjXsf7M/w-d-xo.html
San Jacinto wasn't really an "Ambush", the armies were camped within a mile of each other for days in a little bend of the river. Santa Anna was waiting for more of his troops to arrive, when Houston attacked, at 4 in the afternoon. Attacking in broad daylight, and the hottest part of the day quite literally caught many of the Mexicans (including Santa Anna, with or without "company") napping and meant they were caught in their camp with no place to form up. The "battle" (mostly taking over a cannon battery) took 16 minutes, the killing went on for much longer. San Jacinto is the "Most Dangerous Game" of battles. Santa Anna thought that he had Houston Trapped, when the battle proved that his army was "locked in a room" with the Texan Army.
Exactly correct. The video James decided to react is about 80% false. That's before he starts reacting to it gullibly. Stuff happens. James needs to actually do research on history before he reacts to it.
The Battle actually lasted 13 days, not just four, which considering the difference in numbers was astounding. The congress declared independence on March 2, but hostilities started well before that. Those days are sometimes called THIRTEEN DAYS OF GLORY. You should listen to Marty Robbins song, THE BALLAD OF THE ALAMO.
Texas here.... Yee Yee
If they have a video on the Mexican-American war I recommend it.
Oh lord here come the loud Texans in the comment section 🤣
We are loud and proud, and unashamedly so. 🤓😁😂
Yeppers. We yell the facts just like we keep the faith and ideals of democracy.
9:41 If my memory is correct then the banner was made from a wedding dress
They never talked about Stephen F Austin for some reason he was one of the main reasons that Texas was independent
Santa Anna was also known as the Napoleon of the West
If you're interested in a kewl story, check out the one about the Texas Rangers--our first law enforcement agency that still exists today. Thanks for the reaction video.
I am born and raised in Texas and they teach this in school to us you should check out more about Texas history
4000 troops was a lot for the Americas but you must remember, just 20years before at Waterloo the French had 72,000 men, Wellington had 68,000, and the Prussians chimed in with 45,000. For a grand total of 185,000 people trying to kill each other. Damn, I never thought about it that way. Time Team 2020 did some digs at the Chateau de Hougoumont. Loved Time Team!!!
The Florida Gators Fans collectively singing "Wont Back Down" after Tom Petty died
Go Saints....joking
From what I've seen an heard many Mexicans consider Santa Anna the worst president in their history. Still, in the end Mexico had a very bad 18th century. Even if they won i would assume they would of eventually lost Texas to the USA. Still, I can just imagine your reaction to the Mexican-American war. A war so bad for Mexico that even non- Mexicans feel the Mexican's pain when they hear the result!
After loosing in congress Davy Crocket said, "You all can go to Hell, as for me I'm going to Texas."
React to "The Nanjing Massacre by History of China"
The panhandle of Texas was controlled by the Comanche. The Comanche beat the French, Spanish, Mexico, Texas, and the US armies. It was the Buffalo hunters that finally cause the Comanches to surrender. I suggest reading something like Empire of the Summer Moon by SC Gwynne.
When the Comanche were finally defeated they had conquistador armor. They were considered the best light calvary ever.
Now you know why the Texas flag flies at the same height as the USA flag 😊
Beesley, I heard you beloved Saints lost the other night......sorry a bout that.... I have been to Texas manny times...Houston Dallas Austin. I don't want to start a war in your comments but great place to party but couldn't live there.
Need to watch The Alamo. Importent history of the US too.
The only mistake we made, was joining the Union!
As a Texan living today, I'll let everyone know, we still "Remember the Alamo!" Just like those patriots then some of us may not have been born here. If anyone presses us, we're more than willing to die here. So to anyone who thinks they'll take our freedom or our guns, i have one thing to say. "Come and take it!"
Yea this video leaves alot of things out completely cutting out mirabeau lamar and other key events
Texas is one big proud state, with sufficient resources to be self-reliant. "Don't tread on me", "don't mess with Texas".
Fun Fact: Even though Texas was annexed in 1845, Anson Johnson's, the then Republic of Texas president, term didn't end until February of 1846. So there was a time in which the U.S. had two presidents.
The U.S did not have two presidents.
@@jacklewis5452 Texas was annexed Dec. 29, 1945 becoming a state in the union. However, James K. Polk let Anson Johnson, the President of the Republic Of Texas, to finish his term as President up until Feb. 19, 1846. During this time Anson Johnson still held the power of the president over Texas despite it being a state, while James K Polk was the President of the U.S. Thus being the only times in which the U.S. had two presidents.
His name was Anson Jones, not Anson Johnson.
A great video on this point in history is "How the US stole Mexico" by Johnny Harris, he talks about Texas, the Mexican-American war and some stuff after.
The US stole it from Mexico, who stole it from Spain, who stole it from the Natives. Such is life...
@@george217 Mexico did not steal it and even when people had rights to the land they were called Bandidos and killed so that they could steal their land.
If there is a video on the Mexican-American War, you should react to it. Also, if there is one on the Louis and Clark expedition, you should do a video on it.
Hello James. You said after the massacre at the Alamo that things could go two ways for the Texicans remaining and forming army. Either they could surrender or fight. Actually, it could only go one way because Texans don't surrender. We fight harder. We stayed at the Alamo to fight to the last man. There was no chance at all that the remaining Texans would dishonor there fellow, slaughtered Texans with surrender. All General Santa Anna accomplished was losing many killed soldiers and more wounded ones while motivating General Sam Houston's troops to fight like crazy.
Also James, the video maker is wrong at many points. For instance he says that many Mexican soldiers tried to surrender, "but to no avail", instead they were all murdered. That is untrue. Though many of the Mexicans were killed, many were let surrender. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been a large group of them present when captured Santa Anna was matched through them, causing them to react with salutes and consternation, inadvertently giving away Santa Anna presence and rank.
Many years later another similar situation happened in WWII. A US army battalion composed entirely of Texas soldiers, part of a division, found itself surrounded by one or two German elite divisions. The Germans had supporting divisions, air support, logistical support and reinforcements. The Texas battalion would have none of that. The Texas battalion never thought of giving up, surrendering. For days they fought wave after wave of German Attacks by infantry, tanks, rockets. They started to run out of ammo and fought by hand.
Finally the US army broke through using the most decorated troop element in the US European command. One made entirely of US Japanese-American soldiers. The Japanese-Americans had left American camps were they were held with their families, imprisoned till the end of the war. But they wanted to prove their loyalty to America in battle and often yelled in attacks not banzai, but Go For Broke. The Japanese Americans broke through the German battle lines at high cost, joining the Texans in a desperate, hand to hand battle against the German forces. Many on both sides died, but in the end the Germans were beat and retreated away.
So it is many Texans were the first to help end the camps and welcomed Japanese to Texas to live if they chose to. But Texans were going to again fight to the last man regardless. It's our heritage. Whether against Santa Anna, during the US-Mexican war, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, or any war, it's likely Texans are at the front. You'll find them mixed in with their fellow Americans.
Also James, at the end of the video you said that if Santa Anna had not been allowed to go home but was 'slaughtered' it would have caused Mexico to come attack again due to a 'massive uproar'. That is incorrect. Indeed there was a massive uproar because no one in Mexico had wanted Santa Anna to conduct this war. Neither his supporters, his opponents, the people or the other military leaders. Santa Anna was a deadly dictator who killed his political opponents. But by the time he arrived back in Mexico City without an army, he'd been deposed of his office. He was replaced by another corrupt power seeker and had to protect his life from his own people. Eventually he regained his position as El President of Mexico which lead to an attempt of revenge on Texas and the US, after years gone by and Texas becoming a state. Thus Texas could now legitimately be defended by the US Army of the time and that led to the US-Mexican war. Which Santa Anna lost again. Which resulted in even more of Mexico becoming part of the US. A fact Mexicans at the time who lived in the affected boundaries that became more US didn't complain about since they had more chance to become Americans.
James, pick and get better sources of the truth and don't jump to conclusions about things you don't really know.
Hey y’all, the Alamo.
don't mess with texas
It is understandable that people who went to Texas at that time were not the height of great citizens. Those people had no need to go west. They were content back in their homes.
Hmmm reminds me of a president we have in office now.
Beesley The Louisiana Purchase is a deffo mate good story also Lewis and Clark expedition is a deffo.cheer mate
@Beesley This video lies and paints Texians in a bad light, most were not criminals, miscreants, and outcasts. Most Texians were hard working farmers, ranchers, tradesmen, and upstanding citizens who saw a new opportunity in Tejas. I'm proud 6th generation Texan, My ancestors Solomon Barrow and Jeremiah Conrad Fisher (grandson of, and named after, Conrad Fisher who served with distinction in the American Revolution) were just two of the thousands who legally emigrated to Tejas under the Empressarios - Solomon Barrow was even one of Austin's original 300 and settled east of current Houston, TX.
Where's Millie?!?!
In the comments instead!! 😆😆
Beesley I want your MLS playoff picks!
Something i do need to look at! be sure to keep me updated if there is some insane games!
@@TheBeesleys99 so all 3 Cascadia teams (Sounders, Timbers and the Whitecaps) are in it so if they play each other those games will be good. Both the New York teams are in so if the Red Bulls and NYCFC play each other thats a derby in the playoffs. Also Orlando City vs. Nashville will be a good game and if Orlando plays Atlanta United or NYC FC. Those are the games I'm looking at so far.
Find a different video for this. This one missed so many important details. Kind of insulting to the heroes at the Alamo as well.
React to the Spanish-American War, please.
The name of the war between Mexico and America you're looking for, is called the Mexican-American war😅
You need to watch forget the Alamo and learn the real truth
i don’t know what qualifies this guy ( the guy who made the video)to speak about the moral character of people like William Travis and Sam Houston?
Thank you!! Or Texans in general. 2 of my ancestors legally emigrated to Mexican Tejas under the 1824 Empressarios and I'm proud to be a 6th generation Texan!
He probably had liberal qualifications

The Mexican American War...
The Mexican American war
Japan should have remembered the Alamo in Dec 7, 1941.
The American war cry during WWII wasn't, 'remember the Alamo", but a native American icon, "Geronimo!"
Actually, it was "Remember Pearl Harbor!"
Inter, that's wrong. The other reply from Patrick Kelly to your comment is right, not you.
Mexican American war
Texas is my state. We still see no one as a stranger. We are a friendly state which takes pride in our hospitality and friendliness.
And then there were more problems between the US and Mexico that led to the Mexican-American War, which was huge because Mexico's defeat in that war forced Mexico to hand over the whole northern part of their country to the U.S. That area is the southwestern corner of the US today. The reason states in that part of the U.S. have such strong elements of Mexican/Spanish culture is because that part of the U.S.was once Mexico.
TExians?
It's how they said it at the time.
Some are proud to remember old prorities.
Texans when referring to the dictator Santa Anna usually leave off the "tator". I hate when people and events in history are studied through the 21st century lens.
In 76 year
s here here that is new to me with native Texans- It would never have been said in front of women -not polite or good manners- not honorable choice of language- Southern influence- they usually say just Santa Anna- every one knows he was a dictator
Texas had an embassy in Washington D.C., London, and Paris. Those were the only 3 countries that recognized Texas as a country.
Just as they said, Mexico was nervous about the western expansion movement of the US, and wanted to colonize Texas, but they could not get enough of the Mexican citizens back in Mexico to go to Texas, so they offered the land to Americans. One of my ancestors came to Texas with Stephen F. Austin, the original Empizarro. The plan was more than successful. It was scary successful. Mexico envisioned a few thousand settlers at a time who would settle down, hopefully marry Mexican women and become happy contented Mexican citizens.
However what they got were thousands upon thousands of Americans eager for land. So the Mexican government became even more nervous about so many Americans moving into the area. But instead of sticking to their original plan of absorbing the new settlers and turning them into loyal Mexicans they tried to suppress them through taxes and military force. They also began to revoke the promises they had made to the colonists. Pretty much the same thing the English did to the American colonies. But they also supressed the 😮Tejanos (local Mexicans) as well. THE American settlers and the Tejanos did not take kindly to this treatment. And it eventually led to the revolution. And it is pretty well established that there was some US meddling involved.
I grew up watching westerns and was shocked to see how small the Alamo is! Texas was annexed in 1845 but seceded in 1861 in order to maintain slavery. Not so heroic.
The buildings that stand there today is only the chapel and the long barracks. The actual Alamo compound was about 3 acres. Approximately 185 men had to cover 1320 linear feet of wall, or just over 7 feet of wall per man. Then, you have 1800 Mexicans attacking from all sides and an slmost continuous bombardment for 12 days.
Texas did secede in 1861 and join the Confederacy, and the Confederate Constitution of Texas does list slavery as one of the reasons for secession, among others like states rights to government themselves, leveeing of unfair taxes - especially against agriculture. and others. Yes slavery was a reason for sucession, but not the only one.
Patrick, I think you misinterpreted why Texas politicians included slavery in that document. Texas had few slaves at that time, so there wasn't a defense to support slavery or keep slaves. The reason they entered the war was because of one thing only. It was to defend 'States Rights', which were supposed to be superior to Federal Rights as you noted. The reason slavery is mentioned as a cause was to cite an example of the incursion of the Federal government to decide that issue instead of states deciding independently without coercion or force.
Patrick, I would have to check, but I don't think a roughly rectangular area where one measure is over a thousand feet cannot be reduced to a mere 3 acres. My guess is you meant 13 acres, which is what I recall.
So much left out. Houston was fleeing east in the hope of having to US troops in New Orleans to intervene. Santa Anna considered himself the Napoleon of the West and with the largest army in the region, planned to take New Orleans which he felt belonged to Mexico since the French had taken it back from the Spanish. San Jacinto occurred because the men in Houston's army forced him to take a stand. Once it had independence, Great Britain and France set up Legations in recognition of Texas's independence (and to try to keep Texas from joining the US).
Dear stischer, you are so wrong on every point it can only get explained as flat out lying. Houston met with the US president who realized he was disgusted with US politics and being in Congress, not going to run again for Congress. The President ask Houston to go to Texas as a favor and help the Texans, but not to expect any help for diplomacy reasons. The US was not prepared in any way to send a large army to Texas to fight. They had no funds for such an endeavor and the Congress would not declare war on Mexico to help Texas who wasn't even a territory. It simple was no business to the US.
Houston never expected help from New Orleans and New Orleans was part of America by then, but still basically full of french. There was no force there to help Texas. Neither did Santa Anna intend to go to New Orleans. No history or documentation even suggests that.
Furthermore Texans under Houston's command never forced him to do anything. They weren't pleased to perform a purposeful retreat, but Sam Houston had made clear his intent even before the Alamo fell. The men understood exactly the plan and all were volunteers. They didn't have to agree to that plan. They choose to follow that plan which worked out perfectly for quite a few reasons.
As for receiving Ambassadors, what is your lack of understanding? Texas became a country for years. Of course there would be ambassadors. And the ambassadors might have had various motives, like friendly relations on the edge of the American empire. But there was never a chance Texas and Texans weren't going to join the US. That was one of the reasons so many US citizens went there. Houston knew what was coming and as President of Texas oversaw the actions of preparing Texas for entrance to the US as a country becoming a state. Texas was never even a territory like everyone else was west of the Mississippi. Texas joined the US as another sovereignty, an equal.
Stischer, here's my conclusion. You are a premeditated liar. An internet troll. Probably a radical democratic festering boil of hate and envy. So says this Texan.
First😎
It’s Tex-ans NOT Tex-ih-ans
And the US has regretted their annexation every since lol.
fvck the alamo
