- What on Earth happened to the "old" Texans? That being the first of the non-native settlers to colonize and settle the land that would eventually become the modern state of Texas in the United States. In today's video let's discuss a few of the various colonial periods and waves of migration that have impacted the culture and demography of my home state.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on Texas history and the modern day descendants of the Tejanos and Texians. Thanks for watching!

Masaman based mason
@@Masaman lol
Deport to northern Alaska now!
They died of old age, duh
Actually in a recent report from the U.S. Surgeon General’s Office, they died out as a result of excessive amounts of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll.
@Agis lol
I enjoy your work. It's well detailed and spoken...my grandparents are Mestizos from New Mexico (Pueblo &Spaniard) and we share the southwestern history. Thank you for explaining a dynamic of Chicano...as my elders say "we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us"
I love your thoroughness! I myself am probably an example of some of what you spoke. I was born in West Texas and come from English and Turkish stock. I was told the United States in general and Texas in particular was viewed as great lands of opportunity for immigrants. Keep up the good work, Masaman!
What on earth happened to mameluks please
My great great grandmother was the granddaughter of the last mameluk ruler Khorshid Pasha. Most of mameluks were slaughtered by Muhammed Ali Pasha in Egypt and Nubia , and the very few remainings of Mameluks were assimilated (like my grandmother).
Yet there is an ethnic minority in Egypt called Guazi who are believed to be the only non-assimilated Mameluk group.
I'm Pretty Sure The Ottomans Happened.
kurd means strong psycho
kurd means strong I agree actually
rate eightx the Ottomans invaded the Mameluk Sultanate but the Mameluks remained as the ruling class.
@@sepep6288 Yeah, But The Ottomans Happened To Them... Just Saying... Ey They Defeated The Mongols That One Time So It's All Good.
Thank you so much Mason! I've been waiting for this episode for a long time! I myself am Hispanic, for Texas. I self identity as Tejano, and always wondered how true that was.
When you said only 800,000 people with pre-immigration Hispanic roots live in Texas, I start to have my doubts.
English is my first language, and all my relatives going back to my great-grand parents spoke English, and learned it at the same time as Spanish (I'm 35, btw). No one blood related to me, as far as I know, has lived, or was born outside the counties between San Antonio and Austin. Of cousre, that does not mean they didn't emigrated form Mexico before that.
Oh, Also one of my great-great grandmother's was supposedly a white woman from Spain, so who knows!
Thanks again!
I think your on to something I’m tejano, and My dna results were 63% Spanish, 4% portugues,4% English. 25% Native American and 4% African. Which is in my opinion significantly more European , where as alot of the Mexicans are 50% plus Native American
@@elchirstiano Actually if you have around 5% black, and 25% Native American, (With a Dominant Spanish heritage) it is very probably that your antecesor came from Northern Mexico.
Hawaii was its own country before being taken over by the USA
Blau BayouTM Please stop.
Blau BayouTM This is completely irrelevant to Dotard’s comment.
Hawaii wanted to be owned by the British but the British didn't want them that's why the union jack is on the Hawaii state flag
Dole with support from the US Government Minister John L. Stevens who sent marines to help, overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy. So yes, the US govt technically did take over Hawaii.
President Grover Cleveland wasn't for the overthrow of Hawaii and was appalled when his minister encouraged and supported a overthrow of the Monarchy - recalling the representative and rejecting the desire of the white coup leaders to join the US (though the Queen was not given real power back and the nation briefly became a republic). The next administration under William McKinley reversed Cleveland's policy and even publicly embraced imperialism - leading to Annexation in the same two-year strategy that occupied Cuba and the Philippines, took Guam and Puerto Rico, and purchased the Virgin Islands. Nearly all the native Hawaiians stayed indoors on Annexation Day out of protest.
"California's all right too"
That is the biggest Texan mood ever
Proud 4th generation Texan from El Paso here. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us. I love your channel!
Oscar Aguilar nah, many have and are crossing the border. The spanish language gets lost in basically 2 generations as even first generation americans of hispanic heritage struggle to cope with native mexicans and other native spanish speakers. Also, compare the populations pre-treaty of Guadalupe to now. Way larger!
Nah, you come from further south. Look at your face. You have no claim over Texas.
@@dnick91095 technically he's right. The people and culture were here before the Anglos and independence and are still here. Yes the modern border gets crossed but the people crossing it carry the same mestizo blood.
@@davidcervantes9336 what does that even mean? So only light skinned people have a "claim over Texas"? I don't get you.
Love the line "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us."
Love the video I come from Tejano stock on my mom's side. A lot of Tejano history and culture is overshadowed by Mexican history, it's a welcome change to see it examined independently. Well done.
David Fogle, I totally agree Mexican history seems to overshadow Tejano/Chicano history & nowadays even the Mexican culture & music is doing the same to us Tejanos/Chicanos within Texas & the Southwest USA. I would like to see Masaman do a video on that. Or do a video showing the differences between both cultures who are similar to some extent but still different.
Chicano tejano is a stupid sub culture of Mexican culture. It's just divisional bullshit.
Cause it's a subset from Mexican culture.
An idea for the next video, maybe cover the German Mennonites in Latin America. There are like 100,000+ of them in Mexico alone and they are one of the most rapidly growing populations.
How interesting, why are they experiencing rapid growth? I read they're mostly conservative, farm workers, but they're experiencing droughts and some of them are moving to Canada, as well as into South America. I think there was a sort of Russian delegation hoping to interest Russian descent Mennonites from Mexico back to Russia.
Maybe Mason can make a video on this.
Joni Zymberi the south of Brazil is filled with at least 6 million of them
@@Brother_Mouse_ Yes they are very conservative and belong to a Protestant Anabaptist branch of Christianity. The rapid population growth is driven purely by their birth rates, averaging at 6-7 children per women, and as a result their population doubles every 20-25 years. No modern European country comes close to this. For example in Albania, where I was born, average in 1940s used to be 5-6 kids per women and has declined to 1.6 now. For the Mennonites its remained at high levels consistently.
About 10 years ago I was in the Mexican city of Chihuahua at a restaurant when a family of Mennonites came in to eat. It was an odd site because they didn't look like everyone else, spoke perfect Mexican Spanish as they were actually Mexican citizens, and they're German-ish language was different too since I know German. It all made me smile.
U r right zacatecaz chuhaha and jalisco have them or german blood like me there alll over the mountains farmers for over 200 years
Thank you Masaman,
I enjoy all your videos on history,
As for your Texan voice, that too was enjoyable. Based on all of your historical
Knowledge, maybe you can create some what if scenarios for our future.
History is important and will hopefully guide us to a better future.
Keep up the good work.
cobainzlady
I think I would rather hear about a possible future from Masaman,
Since he seems so positive.
Someone else may give a bleak outlook. But you never know
An excellent summary view of the history of Texas.
Another great episode! I'm looking forward to one on New Mexico.
- Mexico: Hey people, would you like to come and live in Tejas? All you have to do is to be respectful with the law, pay taxes, and form a respectable family.
- Anglo-Texians: Sounds good. I'm in. Oh, but one thing, can I keep my English language? Spanish is not really my thing.
- Mexico: Sure thing.
- Ango-Texians: Great! Oh, one more thing, can I keep my protestant religion? I think catholicism is crap.
- Mexico: Ah? Well... I guess you can. Just please respect catholic Spanish speakers already living here, please.
- Anglo-Texians: Awesome! *Settles in*
Oh, just one more little thing: Can I keep my slaves?
- Mexico: Hey, hold on! Slaves!? Slavery is not allowed here since...I mean, I don't think you....
- Anglo-Texians: Aha!!! Oppressor!! This is outrage! I want freedom! *Rebels*
- Mexico: Wait, what? You can't rebel. This is not your land for you to....
*Texan revolution*
Are you a historian? Because that is an accurate and succinct description of Texas history LOL.
Amazing description !
You forgot to mention how white texans think they invented cowboy culture
Seems to me like the Mexicans were just a bunch of racists that didn't accommodate the new Texans and their diverse, vibrant culture
@@spacepopevii3284 the Texans actually adopted the cowboy culture/lifestyle of the Mexicans
I loved this video! I’m from the Texas Czechoslovakian and Germans as well as from one of the original Alsatian families! (None of them owned slaves FYI) Also you forgot to mention there were many tejano families (Spanish and Mexican) who also wanted and fought for the revolution. It wasn’t just new people move in and take the land. I love our state history! Thanks for another awesome video!
Great job Masaman! This is one of your most informative vids. Shout out from S.C.!
Good job on the Texas history. I'm an original California descendant. Settlers of the San Francisco Mission. Once again. Good job on your history I subscribed keep up the good work
Does that mean you have Portuguese descent?
I'm a super fan of this channel, thanks for everything
Reppin Dallas Texas our here 💪
Watching this on a highway between Austin and Dallas, yeeyee
_ PorteDeStCloud while supporting a “French” commie kick ball team founded by Muslim oil dictators... ah the joy of globalism...
Leonardo Parra I’m from Paris moved to Texas in August... PSG season ticket holder from father to son
And fuck your racism
Keep doing that on I-35 and you will soon be flat. Those trucks on that highway are aggressive and simply don't care about you.
Looks like little leo is a right leaning xenophobe who criticizes European as commies when he's likely never lived there so therefore really has nothing to base his opinion on.
Do a video on Louisiana and the French settlers of the territory like this video
@ShymFan2007 same with texas german... But atleast german is still spoken in the amish communities.. But for gernans who are not from the south west or germans who speak standart german it is very hard to understand unlike texas german, which is basically standart german with some english influence
He already has. He did Cajuns vs Creoles video
@ShymFan2007 The southern region of Louisiana called Acadiana should be a new state with both French and English as its official languages. Acadiana is the heart of the Cajun country but it's also the place where most Créoles live. The Cajuns and the Créoles are 2 very distinct groups but they have a lot in common. Like the language and the religion. On the other hand, the cuisine and the music are very different.
Houston Represent! 🤠🚀
Thanks for educating the Internet on the history of our great state.
Maybe you could try New York? It's really interesting seeing how the different waves of different European and later non-European migrants all came together and formed multiple unique identities. Maybe you could talk about the cultural divides between New York City, Long Island, and the rest of the state!
Loved your video.....as a Texas born American it made me proud...
Love geekin our with you thanks for the video!
As a very proud native Texan and lover of history, I enjoyed this video and thought it was very well done, as always. Don’t let the negative jealous boo boos mislead you, we can still secede. We should never have annexed the United States! Lol. Please keep the awesome videos coming and God bless you and the great State of Texas!!!
Secession is a natural state right
@@thomaswatson1739 Amen! If one can accede, one can certainly secede.
Your 100% correct! I'm a Texan, born and raised in the east Texas piney woods.
Im Texan but i gotta say that this is a bunch of foolish pride.
The matter of secession was never established in court of law, and is far from established.
I would love for you to do a similar video on New Mexico. The states heritage fascinates me!
A video on the Tejanos would be cool. Also a video on each state and who settled there and its history would be cool too. Could do the same with Canada and Mexico.
Florida is a huge state that I believe was once even larger than it is now. On tv in New Orleans, they always mention “the Florida parishes” during the weather forecasts. I would love to see a video on Florida’s development as a colony and how it became and evolved as a state. And thanks for another great video Mason!
Florida panhandle went all the way to the Mississippi River, Lake Ponchitraine was the Southern border of West Florida . During British rule they divided Florida into East Florida and West Florida with the Appalachicolq River as the boundary.
So the florida parishes are the North shore of Lake Ponchitraine
I watched your stuff for while and didn't know you were a fellow Texan!
Well done! Love your videos!
Interesting video especially since I spent quite a few months researching Texan history in the early 19th century
Thanks for making a video of my people!
Argentina here...we gave you Emanuel Ginobili :)))
Ouchies. Six Flags is in Arlington. Close to GP though.
IKR
not only that, the picture he put was a six flags in California xD
Six Flags in Texas takes on an entirely different meaning!
@@davidrosner6267 oh yeah how ? I've been there it's the same shit as the 6 flags here in Chicago
maybe he meant six flags mall lmao which shut down and was in GP
Learned most of that stuff in my 7th grade Texas History class at Forest Park Junior High in Longview, Texas.
Although I generally feel bad for the vast majority of Native American ethnicities who had their lands stolen from them, the Comanche are DEFINITELY an exception to this for sure. To put it this way: If the surrounding Native American tribes had been given the offer of destroying the Comanche on their behalf in exchange for being annexed, as oppose to conquered, most of them have might have very well taken such an offer.
I remember hearing somewhere that the name "Comanche" actually meant something like harasser or marauder, and was given to them by another native tribe. They were pretty much the equivalent of the bad guys from Mad Max with horses instead of cars and trucks. They were the reason that places like the Alamo had cannons. Fighting the Comanches was one of big reasons for the creation of the Texas Rangers.
Bro just take your L and move on
Recently I read Bertrand Russell from 1941 discussing Alexander the Great and he mentioned that some old men in the Afghan mountains still claim him as their forefather. I immediately recalled your video about them still existing. Your channel is a very unique source of information. I couldn't imagine a better spokesperson against the current growth of nationalist sentiments around the world. These videos aptly speak to how diverse and unique human life on this planet really is.
The kalash people of Afghanistan
You sure have some interesting maps! Hard to read on my computer though. Thanks for listing sources, I'll have to check them out.
I'm finally here after 211 views love your channel
My understanding is that the hispanic population was actually not the majority in some of the border areas for awhile (the video highlights some of the discontinuity between early hispanic settlement and modern demographics, but the "strong hispanic majority" referenced at around 10:40 hasn't always been there in places like Brownsville--according to T. R. Fehrenbach's book Lone Star, anyway).
A large portion of my family on my father's side descend from pre-immigration mestizo families in the territory of New Mexico, so I find that to be particularly interesting
*Were all my Catholics at?*
🇮🇪🇮🇹🇲🇽
The original Spanish community in Dodge City, Kansas is incredibly interesting.
This was a great video! Hello from Houston!
the Nieuw Nederlands are a fascinating and often overlooked subject that you may find interesting for a video. New Amsterdam alone had at least 17 spoken languages.
Interesting note, I can find records of my family living in Southern Texas before they seceded from Mexico, and after Texas joined the US, but searching thru the single census the Republic of Texas carried out, those ancestors seem to be missing. At first I thought this was because some Mexicans in the region evacuated, and simply returned after things settled down, but looking at some of the maps in this video, it's simply possible that the Republic of Texas's influence simply didn't reach where my ancestors were living, and so they weren't counted.
Good video Masaman! Can you make a video on just the Tejano culture from then until today?
That was great! Thanks!
I would love to see you do a video on the Californios
A video focusing on the families of The Old 300 would be great.
Might be cool to do one on the Navajo, Apache and other South Athabaskan People.
they were wipe off the face of the earth by the US
Want Some Soup? They were not I know Navajos, and apaches and I’m Comanche and Aztec
@@19ars92 weird my grandmother is Apache. We live in south Texas.
Growing up, I was always told a great deal of history about my (Texas) ancestry. Both my parents could be categorized as being of white and native descent racially but my mom's side was what is called Mexican or Hispanic here and dad's was of an Anglo culture from Tennessee. Quite a representative of old Texas demographics, I'd say. And both had things like German as well. The Spanish population quite early on started mixing and intermarrying with the English speakers; and one fact you neglected to mention is that there was a lot of Spanish support for the revolution as well. It wasn't entirely an Anglo thing. That being said, my mom's family, at least, has been both culturally assimilated and distinct. Many of us only consider ourselves Americans, not Mexicans, though we've for the most part stayed bilingual until the present day. Unfortunately I neglected learning Spanish very well but one complaint my bilingual mom always has about the more recent arrivals is how sloppily they speak Spanish compared to the West Texas old school speakers.
Excellent presentation.
I was really hoping you to touch on the Alamo. I remember it from history class but I forgot what it was over. I think it was something with the mexican-american war? Like a small amount of troops held out for a long period of time? Forgot the significance. I'll google it. But this was a great vid!
great video. i'd like to know more about pre-anglo and latino california, particularly in the Chumash region of souther california. also interesting to me is lingual studies saying many of the native languages in north america had gaelic foundations?? cheers!
Just one correction, not all mestizos are of half Mesoamerican descent. I’ll give you some examples. Modern day Mexican mestizos in the north like the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, have Yaqui/Mayo and Raramuri respectively instead of Mesoamerican native ancestry. These tribes are closer linguistically and culturally to other tribes of the American Southwest, than to Mesoamerican tribes.
Did you know that "Tejas" (Texas as written in the old Spanish language) means "Roof Tile" Because of the good raw materials for building roofs?
Mason. Please make a video on CABEZA DE VACA, the first (famous) Spanish speaker in Texas!
Texas history is my favorite thing because my maternal grandfather's family is all deeply rooted in Texas history he's a Baylor but he is of primarily Mexican descent he is 1/4 Anglo American and German though. through Tennessee and Kentucky moving to Texas then the white sides of his family picked up women from mexico then moved back to texas also my grandfather's mom has some tejano Mexican roots. then my maternal grandmother is a Mexican from Nuevo leon
So if Texas divides into 5 parts, will one part's name begin with 'T', and another's with 'E' and then 'X' and so on?
Nah it probably be West Texas, south Texas, East Texas, north Texas, and Real north Texas
or North, South, East, West and Central Texas
I want to live in Xland.
My wife is TEJANO on both sides of her family.
My Great Grandmother is TEXAS GERMAN.
i think you might add before anglo and latin migration, you might want to include migrations from the 5 civilized tribes pre-removal such as chief bowles, atahobia, nashoba. the cherokees, choctaws, chickasaws, and creeks in east texas at mount tabor some of which mentioned in 1550 by the french
Enjoyed the history. How about a vision about Puerto Rico next?
Some of my ancestors are original Texans, and were almost totally British/Scotch-Irish in ethnicity. Very little to no intermixing in our history, even with the French Cajun or Spanish Tejanos who live around us. I do have some family who married into those groups now, though, and after interacting with them and others around the state, I think that an understated part of Tejano identity is the Native American aspect. Many “Hispanic” folks here in Texas are certainly not descended from the Europeans of Hispania, and look identical in appearance to the most isolated Native Americans. What is called “Mexican” food is also almost totally Native American, with its salsa, corn, beans, tacos, tamales, peppers, etc… all originating in pre-Colombian societies. That’s really under appreciated here in Texas, even among some Tejanos themselves who seem to have lost their history when they were colonized.
A recent DNA test has revealed apparent ancestry (Spanish/Portuguese/French/German, along with Native American) from Texas and Mexico (judging the number of distant relatives residing especially in Texas).
Please, make a video about Louisiana! It is one of the most interesting American States regarding cultural heritage!
Haroldo Tani That would be a 3 hour video lol. So much history in Louisiana
Can you do video on Your Heritage?
He already did.
@@WatchmansArchive a link? Or you meant this one?
Where can I find that video?

Thank you Mason be blessed
I love your content!
Although you made no mention of Deep South Texas (the Rio Grande Valley, formerly Nuevo Santander and briefly The Republic of the Rio Grande) we also are an example of the border crossing us. I can trace my ancestry to both Tejanos and Mexicans. My great grandmother (paternal) was from the old Spanish Texan families and my great grandfather was a general in the Mexican revolution descended of Spanish Jews who settled in Nuevo León during colonial times fleeing the Inquisition. Both my great grandmothers my grandfather (maternal) and my dad were born in Texas. I was born in Mexico. You should look into the very peculiar situations we have in this region (such as 80% of us are native Spanish or Tex-Mex speakers) and speak only English for business. And also, most of us “norteños” are of middle eastern descent, either from mozárabes or judaizantes. Great job!

¡Viva Tejas! From the totally unrelated Scotland
How about making a video about The Gadsden/La Mesilla purchase & history before & after?
Hope that you do one for each State or Commonwealth! Two Facts:
1) Told to me by my Father-in-Law (who is Fifth-generation Texan, who family arrived to East Texas, three years before the Battle of the Alamo. NorthEastern European Mutt as he say it.) He said, "Out of all the Defenders of the Alamo, only six where not Illegal-Aliens."
2) If it was not for Pennsylvania there wouldn't be an Alamo! Their where only 6 Texans, 14 Pennsylvanians, and I count all Kentuckians and Tennesseans as part of Pennsylvania. Because, Daniel Boone came for my hometown of Reading, PA. Ok, outskirts. His homestead was six miles form my house in the city.
It takes too much energy to correct your history.However I will get to this matter sooner or later in the year.Thank you.
San Antonio represent.
Heh wow. We Tex-Czechs actually got a shout out!
Are you related to Bob Dobbs of the church of the subgenius?
Fellow SA Subgenius checking in
SA is fucking amazing, I was there about a week ago and fell in love. SA girls are also something!
San Antonio: Greatest city in the world😤😤😤
Panna Maria is interesting, and is featured in the museum of Texan cultures. I grew up five miles from there.
Enjoyed it, but hope you don't mind a few side notes. Texas cuisine would definitely be poorer without the contributions of the Czechs; you usually have to get kolaches (actually, kobasniks) whenever you are sent out on a doughnut run. The French contribution was basically to pop in and say hello. Also, San Patricio County was settled by colonizers (from guess where!) in 1810, and many surnames there are Hispanicized Irish.
Texans did tend to mangle spelling and pronunciation; McLennan County is named after Neil McLendon, who had been the leader of a group of HIghlanders invited into Florida by a small tribe there; he moved to Waco due to the Second Creek War. And of course, Texans figured that since they won the battle, they'd pronounce "San Jacinto" their own way.
The Comanches got here about 1730 (i.e., after the Spanish), and wasted little time expelling Spain from the Plains. There were also refugee bands from southeastern tribes that mostly settled, initially anyway, on the Cherokees' Spanish land grant in east Texas. After their expulsion from there in July 1839, about 20,000 ended up living on the frontier between the settlers and the Comanches.
Keep up the good work.
YES WE WANT MORE HISTORY OF INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN STATES and if possible, make them a bit longer so that you can cover more interesting information.
I really like this video!
Howdy y'all! Love from the UK
Thank you, I've always wondered what happened to them anyways
Love your work. Any chance you can do a video on the Sami? Thanks.
Do a video on Florida demographics please (as someone who lives in southwest Florida, a very diverse area)
Cowboy culture which is so closely associated with Texas originated with the Mexican vaquero culture. Even the vocabulary associated with cowboys is of Spanish origin. For example:
Ranch from the Spanish “rancho”
Rodeo from the Spanish word meaning “roundup”
Chaps from the Spanish “chaparros”
Buckaroo from the Spanish “vaquero”
Lasso from the Spanish “lazo”
In summary, these most American icons of American culture have Mexican roots.
Paul Tello > that’s very true. Gaucho culture and cowboy/vaquero culture share common Spanish roots. If you go back far enough, it goes back to Spain. Although it evolved differently in North and South America.
There we are. Testifying history. Old... but very alive.
thanks for talking about new mexico! is there any way you could do a video on the clovis civilization and the Anasazi? the ancestors of the current native americans that live there. or maybe a video on the spanish descendants in northern new mexico that speak a seperate dialect of spansh from the mexican migrants?
As a Texan, there’s a lot I don’t know about our history. Thank you for your video!!
You mean as a African
@@jhonsalchijhon5992
I’m not from Africa 😉
Super neato, check out Indians of Texas by WW Newcomb!
Being from New Mexico, I can tell you that the large percentage of Hispanos makes a big difference in the culture and politics. It made it hard for me to understand race relations in other parts of the country, because the families who settled central New Mexico hundreds of years ago never really let go of power (although white imports tried real hard, they could only wrest about 50% of the political power in my unscientific estimate). I couldn’t understand why anyone would assume a person would speak Spanish based on their brown skin because so few of my Hispanic friends could speak any more Spanish than I could. Living in Ohio gave me perspective and I’ve only recently really understood and appreciated what a strange place New Mexico is.
Can you focus on the history or individual tribes that lived in Texas and what happened to them?
Still wondering how well you get informed about the ethnic composition of any part of the globe. First time ever, as far as I can remember, I heard in an English-speaking video talking about the historical presence of Sorbs in Texas, which is true : the US and Australia where 2 big countries of destination for this German slavic population, knowning that espacially the lower Sorbs tended to emigrate because of their non confortable social situation in Prussia, while the Upper Sorbs had historically less problems with institutionnal persecussion in Saxony, thank to the quite constant political support they get from Bohemia. Why Sorbs decided especially to go to Texas rather than to another US state, I have no answer for that.
sorbs?
You didn’t talk about the demographic shift towards non-Hispanic whites who were 60% of the population only 20 years ago. Now the percentage is around 40 and is predicted to drop even further as the state experiences a population replacement.
Could be a 3 part series if ya took a breath, Pardner.
Six Flags actually forgot the seventh, the Republic of the Rio Grande.
Good video massaman
From a Spanish Tejano..... "What comes around goes around"
How about Californios--without the "thumbs down!"
