Good narrative, but Texans pronounce Bastrop and Bastrup. And for San Jacinto you technically pronounced it properly for Spanish, Texans pronounce the J rather than a hu sound.
@@vanringo I live right across the river from the battlefield, I’m never heard one person say Bastrup lol I decided to call San Jacinto in its appropriate Hispanic way
And to be a member you shouldn't have to pay more to be called a veteran. Veterans have experience not wide pocketbooks. It's kind of disrespectful to real veterans.
Here in Texas in any city you will find at least one street and several other places with names related to Cincinnati, forever grateful for the twin sisters 🤝
this is because the combatants on both sides were relatively poor(could not afford larger armies) and did not have a large population to call upon in time of war. this was a frontier after all so not many people lived there at the time.
Happens more often than most people think. The battle of Trenton in 1776 which helped turn the American revolution around their armies were similar in size.
It’s fun watching this as a Texan who knows city and street names. You hear “a random private named Lamar. . .” And you think “wait I know Lamar Avenue, something tells me he’s about to do some hero s***”
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew. You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee, But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me! I haven't seen the Texas Revolution covered with battle maps before. Thanks for a great series!
The Texan revolutionaries sure won a decisive victory and got some brutal payback. Apparently Santa Anna never wavered in his 'take no prisoners' mentality throughout his life, even when his own country disregarded it as inhumane. His time in the Spanish Royalist army sure left its bloody mark on him.
"I have been in forty battles and never once shown my back. I am too old to do so now."-Major General Manuel Fernández Castrillón to his routing soldiers at San Jacinto when told to flee with them before being killed by the Texians. Castrillón had opposed several of Santa Anna's actions in the war, such as the massed assault at the Alamo as well as the slaughter of prisoners..
Castrillón was a good man, as was Urrea. In all honesty, there were several of the Mexican generals and officers that were deeply affected by Santa Anna's conduct.
Leaving us all on a cliffhanger there! Are you planning to do the Mexican American war next? Or are you heading back to the American Civil War and the Battle of Antietam that I've eagerly been awaiting?
@@WarhawkYTI love the aspects you put into making these videos for us. I love how you put each Regiments number and name and same with brigades, divisions, corps.
That’s why he was a good commander. He knew his men only had enough gusto in them for one real good fight, so he made sure that he stacked the deck as much in his favor as possible to maximize that.
It should be noted: Santa Anna wasn't just captured in a marsh. He was captured with several other prisoners of war. He was thought to be just another prisoner but was saluted by some of his men, upone seeing him. This gave him away.
A couple of additions: 1) Santa Anna was hated all over Mexico not only for his coup to establish his dictatorship but his brutality to anyone who opposed him (Re: Zacatecas). 2) He truly saw himself as the "Napoleon of the West" and (forgetting Napoleon's foray into Russia) since he felt that New Orleans had truly belonged to Spain (not France) and, by extension, Mexico, he planned to march east and capture the city (ignoring the swamps in between). Given the size of his army, IF he had made it, there is a good chance he could have captured it. Now held it is another thing.
Though it’s certainly fun to think about, I’m not sure there’s any realistic alternate scenario where Santa Anna could have captured New Orleans without a significantly larger force than he mustered for the Texas campaign. Around this time, New Orleans was the third largest city in the entire United States behind only New York and Philadelphia. The city had easily repulsed a much larger British force at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Other than a shared Catholic heritage, the locals of Louisiana (I’m one, myself) would not have reacted kindly to an attempted forced annexation to Mexico by Santa Anna. And that’s not even considering how the US government would have reacted. Personally, I think the outcome of the Mexican-American War was always inevitable, but the surprising success of the Texans in 1836 definitely sped up the timeline by a few decades. Santa Anna is certainly a fascinating man.
In Mexico we see him as a national hero but he was a complete moron. Just another militarist with aspirations to be “Napoleon” but no talent to show for it. He was only good at suppressing his own people.
Same with me but I think there’s a thing from that timeline that you might be interested in and it’s called the Black Hawk War and like it’s interesting as the war saw a non combatant who would be instrumental in the timeline between 1850 and 1865 and this non combatant was Abraham Lincoln.
@chasechristophermurraydola9314 yeah, similarly there's another person who was instrumental in this period and he would late be on the opposite side as Lincoln, his name is Jefferson Davis.
Great series. I grew up/live in either Galveston or the Galveston area. A lot of folks don't know that Santa Anna was treated rather well after the battle of San Jacinto as he travled all the way to Washington DC before returning home. Burnet is buried on Gaveston Island and on broadway there is a monument to Sherman as well as the Texas Heroes monument on 25th street.
I'll be visiting San Jacinto come this November after my deployment. I love that place Houston/Galveston area. Ofc I love the Astros as well. All things considered.
Mexico did send its army into the Republic of Texas after the revolution. In fact, the Mexican army captured San Antonio 3 times during the 9 years of the Republic of Texas. Repeatedly repelling the Mexican invasions was one of the major factors that bankrupted the republic of Texas and forced them to join the United States.
Been waiting for this haha, love the channel, the potential is immense, please make it a series abt the Mexican American war, a very underrated conflict and there's no solid documentaries abt it here on yt
Don’t you dare ever forget the Alamo! Shoutout to Ohio, I never knew of their role in the revolution as a Texan but who knows what it would’ve been like with out those two girls
Sun Tzu famously said that men with no escape will fight to the death. Houston brought his men to a place where they could not escape, and the slaughters at the Alamo and Goliad showed the Texians that if they didn’t win, they would die. The result was a Texians army that would not surrender or back down.
Santa Anna was a moron, Urrea would've crushed Sam Houston and ended the "revolution". Now you land grabbers are losing your women, the entire United States and now all of Europe. Karma is a b*tcg isnt it. America will be ours now not just Texas and Europe will be African and Islamic. Enjoy your karma
i love how you cover wars that dont really receive too much attention, could i perhaps propose you do the mexican-american war next? i've only ever seen montemayor cover a few battles
Thank you for making this series! First time seeing your videos and being a native Texan I absolutely loved learning about our conception as a republic.
Huzzah!! Another superb video, sir! I wonder if you will cover some of the battles of the Republican years. There was more than a few cross-border raids with Mexico not to mention fights with the Comanche. For such a small battle, relatively speaking, its outcome would essentially open the west to the United States.
Sam Houston is buried in Huntsville, Tx and ive visited his grave and even took my children when they were young to pay our respects as well as the alamo and Long before our time but it still resonates to this very day and without their sacrifice and bravery Texas wouldn't be home and in my opinion the greatest place to call home.
Great video! I love that you mentioned the Mexican/American War. One of my 3X great grandfathers reinforced General Taylor's forces after the Battle of Monterrey.
The Strategy of the continuous retreating really was a perfect strategy for the Texans. Good replica of the Russian tactics in 1812. Another excellent video, well worth the wait ❤️❤️
In 7th Grade ('77-'78), as part of Texas History Class, I was assigned Mrs. Almeron Dickinson, for 5 page paper. At my School's Library(TMI), I found NOTHING on this brave lady. I went to Trinity University's Library, again NOTHING. I did not turn in the Paper. My best Class in all of My Educational History. 100s on all quizzes and Tests. First hand up for every question. I got a C for the Year. Thanks Susanna.😢😢😢
This is a very good video on Texas history. A few notes: Sam Houston in Texas is mostly depicted as dark haired. In Tennessee they show him as a redhead. In one of your paintings you showed the Mexican women and camp followers. The Mexican army reflected the old style. When the man was drafted by larriat rope in the Yucatan, the women picked up and came with them. When they got to Texas, they busted cotton bales to sleep on. When the Texas heroes finished up that the Battle of San Jacinto, the gathered up the women. They were unrepentant slavers. Mexico did try again. Adrian Woll got as far as San Antonio. Thanks for the maps.
@@WarhawkYTI suppose. But the starting point of their morale or willingness to fight was pretty low, especially after marching across the wilderness for so long. Conscripts that are veterans are probably about as reliable as green volunteers.

I enjoyed this video. I thought your introduction was very good and set the stage for what was going to occur. Now that the Texas revolution is over, are you going to cover the Mexican-American war or go back to the Civil War?
Thanks WT, we are heading back to the Civil War now, even though i mentioned the Mexican American war. Texas' victory at San Jacinto and its effects are the whole reason why the US eventually went to war with Mexico a decade later.
I read about the Tx war of independence but I didn't know about conflict that Sam Houston had to face with his soldiers. Never realized that his command was on the brink in subordination and how he had to make concession with his troops
I used to reenact the american civil war with the 1st chicago light. The units history goes back to the mexican american war. The bronze gun we had was a veteran of the two wars and original to the unit and battery. On the back of the gun the civil war veterans of the battery inscribed the battles on the back.
While it ended horribly, would you be willing to do the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition? Arguably this would bring the number of Flags over Texas to 7, instead of 6. Just as we count the failed rebellion of the Confederates, so too should this count. And it is much lesser known, but I think is extremely important.
As a native Texan myself, it just makes me smile remembering how the Republic of Texas was born. Side note for those who don't know, Texas is the ONLY state to enter into the union by way of a treaty. A treaty that still exists today and can in fact be ripped up. Texas never gave up her sovereignty and its truly fascinating to me.
An army of 900 men is no Army and if I was a Mexican I would be embarrassed by this defeat that's why they tried to gain it back during World War I in a plot with Germany that's what allowed the US to enter the war which they were waiting for and the scary part is it only takes a few thousand with brave crazy Commanders to change territorial claims of thousands of kilometers and countries future
Houston: Give me Texas Santa Ana: No te de chinges Pendajo Houston: Yea? Santa Ana: Peca tello! Houston: Ok, Hang or sign! Santa Ann: Pos chingo, no mamez gue!
Hey Warhawk. Fancy doing that collaboration we spoke about? I'd love to know how you make your videos - the arrows, general banners etc. Let me know when you're free?
It would seem that Texas won this great victory despite Houston never wanting to engage the enemy. The Texans themselves had their fill of waiting and took the victory.
EXCEPT they were NOT TEXANS 😂😂😂… They were majority Tennesseans… Like Houston himself. Official Records from the San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield Association: “There were many who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto whose birth origin or previous residence is unknown. Of those whose are known, the majority were not Texans. Tennesseans arguably volunteered more than anyone else to help win Texas independence and shape Texas history, according to state records. Of the 638 whose birthplace is known, the majority were born in Tennessee (123), Kentucky (64), Virginia (53), Georgia (45), North Carolina (37), South Carolina (32), Alabama (28), and New York (27), according to the museum and association’s data.” The 2ND largest number of soldiers who fought at San Jacinto were born in what are now the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Maryland, Arkansas, Maine, Vermont, Indiana, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Florida, and Colorado.

Crazy how a battle with only 1200 men on each side completely changed the course of history.
Back then Armies were not huge. Even in the revolutionary war there were only a few thousands on each side.
The battle was actually 2100, Sant Anna’s army was 1200 men
@@vanringo Napoleonic Wars saw armies regularly reach 60,000-150,000 men. Europe had massive armies. It was just America that had small armies.
this is because the combatants on both sides were relatively poor(could not afford larger armies) and did not have a large population to call upon in time of war. this was a frontier after all so not many people lived there at the time.

He was an American criminal who fled to Mexican Texas, not sure why didn’t close the border on the white wet-back

Unfortunate how Houston was viewed, he wasn't timid, but meticulous. His men were just undisciplined and impatient.

Its always "Remember the Alamo"... ppl tend forget the other part, "Remember Goliad." In Goliad, the captured soldiers were executed.
Are you gonna finish the civil war videos
yes? i never said I wasnt
The only person you can really hate in this war is Santa Anna, everyone else was human.
I salute you general Manuel Fernandez Castrillon
indeed
I read about the Tx war of independence but I didn't know about conflict that Sam Houston had to face with his soldiers.
Never realized that his command was on the brink in subordination and how he had to make concession with his troops
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
To be mercy against the enemy brings more success.
Any new videos coming??
@@user-mc4sq3fk5d yes, Antietam is 4/5 done
I see. I still think the Revolution and War of 1812 would do well as there is a lot of Cuvil War content out there already.
#RemembertheAlamo Sam Houston was a great leader "GIVE ME TEXAS!"
SAM HOUSTON WAS AN AMERICAN CRIMINAL! WHO SOUGHT REFUGE IN MEXICO! MEXICO WAKE UP WITH AMERICANS TAKING REFUGE/RETIREMENT
God bless you Warhawk, I love you.
Thanks Thymari!
Is San Felipe modern day Katy?
Just west of Katy
Cara o seu canal ia fazer um grande sucesso aqui no Brasil dupla
I used to reenact the american civil war with the 1st chicago light. The units history goes back to the mexican american war. The bronze gun we had was a veteran of the two wars and original to the unit and battery. On the back of the gun the civil war veterans of the battery inscribed the battles on the back.
Remember the Alamo
Remember Goliad😮😮😮😮
As a resident of Bexar, I must let you know it’s BExAR, like the animal
While it ended horribly, would you be willing to do the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition? Arguably this would bring the number of Flags over Texas to 7, instead of 6. Just as we count the failed rebellion of the Confederates, so too should this count. And it is much lesser known, but I think is extremely important.
I would like to but not any time soon
@@WarhawkYT I look forward to it if you do! Great video!
As a native Texan myself, it just makes me smile remembering how the Republic of Texas was born. Side note for those who don't know, Texas is the ONLY state to enter into the union by way of a treaty. A treaty that still exists today and can in fact be ripped up. Texas never gave up her sovereignty and its truly fascinating to me.
An army of 900 men is no Army and if I was a Mexican I would be embarrassed by this defeat that's why they tried to gain it back during World War I in a plot with Germany that's what allowed the US to enter the war which they were waiting for and the scary part is it only takes a few thousand with brave crazy Commanders to change territorial claims of thousands of kilometers and countries future
Houston: Give me Texas
Santa Ana: No te de chinges Pendajo
Houston: Yea?
Santa Ana: Peca tello!
Houston: Ok, Hang or sign!
Santa Ann: Pos chingo, no mamez gue!
You Spanish ehh. It more or less
Hey Warhawk. Fancy doing that collaboration we spoke about? I'd love to know how you make your videos - the arrows, general banners etc. Let me know when you're free?
Hey Thomas, I’m down, I’m usually free every day and most weekends are good too
@@WarhawkYT Awesome. I'll send you an email.
In West Texas, we remember the salt war
It would seem that Texas won this great victory despite Houston never wanting to engage the enemy. The Texans themselves had their fill of waiting and took the victory.
EXCEPT they were NOT TEXANS 😂😂😂… They were majority Tennesseans… Like Houston himself. Official Records from the San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield Association: “There were many who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto whose birth origin or previous residence is unknown. Of those whose are known, the majority were not Texans.
Tennesseans arguably volunteered more than anyone else to help win Texas independence and shape Texas history, according to state records.
Of the 638 whose birthplace is known, the majority were born in Tennessee (123), Kentucky (64), Virginia (53), Georgia (45), North Carolina (37), South Carolina (32), Alabama (28), and New York (27), according to the museum and association’s data.”
The 2ND largest number of soldiers who fought at San Jacinto were born in what are now the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Maryland, Arkansas, Maine, Vermont, Indiana, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Florida, and Colorado.
Great vid. Just an FYI the "J" in "San Jacinto" is pronounced normally
@@Jdavid1976 check my community tab and no, the modern pronunciation is an anglicized version of its original name.
It's actually pronounced Darude Sandstorm.

A statement from The Center Square: Tennesseans arguably volunteered more than anyone else to help win Texas independence and shape Texas history, according to state records.
Its wild to think that hundreds of thousamds would fight in some battles...yet the biggest battle of this war one side couldnt even muster 1000 men
The texas rev was really frontier fighting at its finest
@@WarhawkYT it's interesting that such a low scale conflict played out to have massive global ramifications into the future
