    An important omission here: Crockett was involved in the Creek War alongside Jackson. He was reputed to have been alienated from Jackson's Indian-hating because of a massacre during the war. That crucial early interaction colors their entire relationship. Jackson was politically ruthless, and Crockett's opposition to Indian removal (the Trail of Tears is only one tribe of the 5 major tribes affected, BTW) meant that he became alienated from the administration. So it's important to connect the Creek War to Crockett

    I think Davy Crockett was a good man who's herorism was to fight off what he believed was a tyrant. Crockett served with Jackson during the War of 1812 and saw how he horribly treated the Indians. Crockett knew Native American culture well since he would talk with them all the time when hunting. He also didn't like how Jackson treated him and his other volunteers. He didn't give them food, so he led volunteers to find some by disobeying orders to not leave camp.

    9:26 It is highly unlikely that Davy Crockett was one of the men captured. They were taken in a room of a building. Crockett's station was defending the barricade around the low wall. It would have been very difficult for him to get inside and in to a room. The Mexican officer who recorded in his journal that one of the prisoners was Crockett does not say that he heard the man identify himself as such, or that he knew Crockett on sight. He simply says that the man was tall and good looking and he therefore concluded that it must have been Crockett. If the prisoners were at all interrogated before being murdered there is no record of it. Crockett was well known in his day, and it was known that he was among the defenders, but no one ever recorded any of the prisoners actually being identified as him. I'll tell you right now, it wasn't.
