Remember the alamo❤😊
always brings me to tears
It was not that they died, it was how they faced their deaths is what matters.
This was not long ago...amazing
It kinda has been a long time. One thing to think about though is there is still ww2 survivors.
Los mexicanos seguimos Vivendo en Todo texas
I believe The Alamo is more important to born and raised texans... I'm a born and raised and I love my state ..... I'm from Austin TX and mexican... very proud of what the alamo gave us today even if we share it with my country haha
“Remember The Alamo!!”
I thank my history teacher who gave us this short video to watch while my English gives us like 10-20 min long videos
i was really interested in this cause i was just in Texas and everyone was talking about the Alamo and going to the Alamo so i just wanted to learn more.
The heroism and rare bravery by those men at the Alamo make me proud to have been born a Texan if not raised one. I was raised in Alabama but am proud to call myself a native of Wichita Falls, Texas.
I just bought Davy Crockett's autobiography, but one of the most fascinating things about the Alamo defenders, was their diverse nationalties. Look up the list of Alamo casualties and you will find Texicans, Englishmen, Scots, Irish, German..a lot of Europeans in there deciding to give Santa Anna a bloody nose at least.
need to watch this for a history hw -_-

Haha, imagine having to watch it for online schooling, couldn't be me
Gungnir me too 😌✌️
Same
I’m glad to have been born in California but even prouder to say I grew up in Texas and moved back to Cali after a while so many American patriots in Texas no cap
Let's also keep in mind that Santa Ana wasn't really supposed to be there. He wasn't really representing Mexico as much as he was himself. This will come back to bite him later when he hands over Texas to the Americans. Mexico sends him back to Cuba as an exile AGAIN. So the Texans really did have a legitimate reason for fighting
I have to watch this for history
Thanks for enlightening me then.
Wow i have this for a hw assignment and I'm watching it a decade later considering its nearly new years.
If there had been a back door at the Alamo there never would’ve been a Texas.
You cannot state this as a fact. I got taught history by Mexican teachers, with a Mexican textbook on a Mexican school. You learned history from your country's teachers, textbooks and schools. That said, it's fair to say both countries want to look like the good guys towards their population, and we can't say that our version is fact while the other was manipulated into another belief, because there's equal chance of both being true.
Julio what I found is all country’s, sugar coat the history. If you want the real history you have to look it up yourself. All country’s really do that.
This the kind of bs we get caught taught growing up and which is why the world is so split. We have those who know the truth and does who don’t. Even some who know the truth but deny in accepting it.
I like the set of the Alamo
Yep
@SniperCadett Yes, i saw more in my history class than on the TV.
cool story bro
Why should we care about what happened in the 1830s to some farmers and ranchers? It is story who has repercussions ringing in the hearts of many today. An army who was outnumbered 10-1 fighting nothing more than a way of life. They did not have to fight, but they did so their children could have hopefully have better lives than they did. It is a story of inspiration. It is a story that I wish people appreciated more because it can go out to anyone who thinks the impossible cannot be done.
Renegade Wright and they lost!
Actually a good number of the alamo fighters were Mexicans. Mexicans in Texas tried to rebel numerous times only to lose. Mexicans in Texas wanted independence since Mexico beat Spain. Finally Mexican citizens in Texas gained help from Americans and Europeans.
Who is watching in 2023 😅
i always wondered what colonel vulgin was talking about
Of course youre right :) Im not stuck with this.
Its a matter of nor forgetting. We should never forget the past or we might repeat the same mistakes. Thats all.
What was the flag under which the Alamo Garrison fought for. It wasn't a U.S. Flag or any state flag but one with the colors and the number 1824. They wanted the Mexican Constitution of 1824 to remain in effect but Santa Anna repelled it as the dictator that he was !
The American settlers were not necessarily interlopers into Texas. Under the leadership of Moses Austin, the Americans received a Land grant from the King of Spain (hence, the Spanish governor of Texas) while it was still part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Of course México, when it acheived independence from Spain in 1821, especially under Sant Ana, would not respect the Spanish arrangement. My comment as a Spaniard American is that many historians leave out, or brush over important facts that do not educate nor enlighten the general public with the Whole truth. Thankyou/Muchísimas gracias.
I thought this was from the Louisiana purchase?
I wish someone should make a new tv show about behind the American tall tales
Poor Davy Crockett ❤❤❤
Yeah, poor sclavist
Take what you feel and put it into a song ;)
Read “Forget the Alamo”
One of the guys is a communist ,the other guy works for the Democrats party and the other openly hates TEXAS and America
Remember the alamo
Do you have something against Mexico? (I'm not Mexican)
Fair enough. At least you're taking middle ground. I apologize if I was rude.
I'm just tired of people saying the war was 100% America's fault and that Mexico was just an innocent nation that was pillaged, when both sides were guilty of various things.
i had to watch it for hw
If someone were to control the way I live unfairly like Santa Anna did, heck I wouldn't have any of it either! No person should have to be told how to live, how to raise their family, etc. God bless the men who fought for and won Texas its freedom.
what are you talking about when you live ubder another country you have to live by their laws white people are nothing but immigrants of texas mexicans run this state
Aztec Empire how can they enforce it when Texas was so isolated from Mexico City?
The first vice president of the republic of Texas was Lorenzo DeZavala. The town of Seguin, Texas was named after Juan Seguin who fought for Texas independence. MANY Mexicans fought for the cause.
They were fighting over slavery as well cause that was their way of life and Mexico had made it illegal
Rolled my eyes at this as a kid but now at 23, i wonder why is the Alamo really famous for? Needed a refresher 😕
Where’s the basement?
No problem, if I can give someone just a tiny big more knowledge then that's thanks enough for me. :)
Jim Bowie
Fails to say how those in the Alamo were settling but bringing their slaves with them. Mexico had banned slavery after getting their independence from Spain. The Alamo happened because the us did not want to give up slavery.
Interesting
You sound like a f a g
That’s exactly right.👍🏼 😂😂😂
lol bs. Santa Ana had slaves and was a tyrant
Why carry around bitterness that you can do nothing with? All it can do is consume you. Let it go brother.
GO HW BRANDS! HOOK'EM!
Lo que Haiga pasado
1:34 Crocketts death
1:28 Travis death maybe
His... Story...
What year? Dates? Hello? History?
VICTORIA DEL EJERCITO💂 MEXICANO 🇲🇽
What lies the Americans tell, when they affirm that they made Texas independent, in fact they stole it, to continue maintaining, a system of work, based on slavery, abolished in Mexico from the moment of independence, Texas was not independent, Texas was stolen by illegal American immigrants.
Texas was a Mexican province.
General Antonio Lopez Santa Anna, all he did was his duty, to defend the integrity of the national territory.
Now everyone believes that Texans were innocent victims who were harassed by the Mexican government, in fact they were traitors who rose up against the republic.
Why don't they tell the truth?
Long before that Mexico had stolen the land from the Apache, Kiowa, Tonkawa, Navajo, Pueblo and other Native Nations. Get the whole truth.
Here comes the insulting part...
As I said, thanks for the conversation.
You do know the term Native American was first used in the 1960s?? They are not real American's. an American is somebody born in the United States of America..
The definition of Natve is belonging to a particular place by birth.
Definition of American is relating to the United States of America or its people
Remember the Alamo!
Remember Goliad!
so... history class amiright?
Are you from the USA?
My language is not english and still I write better english than you.
I really dont get the whole point of your comment. I just understand the 2nd half.
I never said killing wounded and captured soldiers is good. I said the United States loves to adorn this kind of historic events, and forget what and why it really happend, thats all.
And they forgot juan seguin
Remember Goliad.
a
Despite your comment has nothing to do with the subject we are discussing, yes, youre right.
And if you want to be so strict about this details, I have to make you remember America is not a country, but a continent. And in my comment, I said "americans" refering to the continent of course.
gewerh44 no. The continent is called America but the USA is also. Called America. Again. Words can have two different meanings.
If all the soldiers died, how do we know what happened at the alamo and can we teally trust the Mexican report.
As they say -- history is the version and report of the victor
lol guys don't complain about a video, if your gonna complain then don't watch the vid!
who’s here bc of school
I look like a 13 year old for correcting you in your terms? Well if intelligence makes me look like a 13 year old then thank you. If you don't want to learn that's fine, but don't imply I'm going off topic for any other reason than to teach you, I may not be a licensed teacher, but I still value education and feel I can do my part to educate.
Whos here for middle school social studiessss
What are you even talking about?
what ever dude....
I suppose you live in the USA. Well, Im not from your country.
I remember the people in your country always calls America to their country. You also are taught in school that there are North America and South America as 2 separated continents.
In México we learn America is a single continent. And the country to the north is called United States of America. So I guess thats why we cant understand each other's point of view.
gewerh44 that’s so not true. We know it’s one continent. We just call our country America because it’s in our name. Words can have two different meanings.
TH-camr TheMatthewScooby no I was taught in social studies that they are separated continents
:P im mexican and proud of that but i guess you defend the land that gave you food,shelter,education,and hope and tend to ignore the past and concentrate on the future and trully hope i may served the armed forces just to repay that country
Online schooooooool 🔫👲
Nationalist, not racist. Get it right vecino.

ESTA USA frontier Les new horizon pour Gazaettes
Pretty good video with a few mistakes:
1) The Battle of the Alamo was fought during the early hours of the morning, before the sun came up. Not during the middle of the day.
2) David Crockett's position on the palasade wall never was breached by the attacking Mexican infantry.
3) There were survivors of the battle, mostly women and childern of the Alamo defenders and local population and Colonel Travis' slave Joe.
Overall, good video but with a few errors.
NewOrleansGrey1 hey that first point is just so you can actually see it
I don’t think they were trying to be accurate.
As a native Tejano they wanted to enslave my family. We joined the Apaches and scalped them.
I see this more as interrupted Mexican history than American history.
lol
It's good that Americans remember the Alamo, a MEXICAN victory for all time!
It doesnt matter if a few of the texans were living in that territory before Mexico became Mexico, even before the Spanish arrived to that area. Its just doesnt matter.
That territory became a part of Mexico and its logic that it had to obey the rules of the whole country.
Just, an example... The real americans (natives) lived in north america for thousands of years, and that stopped the gringos from almost exterminating them? I dont think so. This completely discredits your comment, am I right?
gewerh44 MEXICO STOLE THE LAND FROM SPAIN
A lot of words used not to say the settlers didn’t win. Just say “the American side lost” they teach this to kids.
Except that there WAS no "American side". There was only the rebel side (Anglos, Tejanos, etc) and the Mexican Army.
Actually, as I was lead to understand, México had its own territory, which included great portion of Texas, up until Nueces River. Afterwards, Texas became an independent Republic. U.S.A. then took over that territory, and stretched its territory down until Rio Grande, which started the fight.
The Americans/European's came there were under agreement with Spain. Mexico was a territory of Spain. When given their independence Santa Anna abolishes the Mexican constitution. Several states rebelled against Santa Anna, not just Texas.
One of the things Texans fought for was the right to own slaves. So much for your "noble cause".
Yes but they're excused
hehe
Don't forget the leaders at the time signed the deal, I wouldn't really call it stealing. You can make the case that the leaders were corrupt but that isn't exactly the United States fault is it? Also, people NEVER seem to remember that even though it was a lot of physical territory there was very little people who were actually Mexican living there. Most people living in that territory were Native American. So if you want to get technical Mexico "stole" it from the natives first.
"I see why you chose your username; just as nationalist, stuborn and racist "
Mexican isn't a race, it's a nationality. You should at least take time to consider the difference between race and nationality before you insult someone's education system.
Mexicans are pretty racist though, I don't know if you've ever had the displeasure of speaking with someone from northern Mexico but they aren't exactly tolerant of anyone else. Mexicans from the south are pretty nice from my experience.
It was about SLAVERY
Texas was Mexican all alone why build a wall
Im not insulting anybody. Im just stating a fact. Something that he didnt do. He was trying to insult.
Anyways, your comment seems just an attempt to start a pointless discussion.
"Mexican isn't a race, its a nationality", cmon, thats not even the subject.
And again... "Subjects always change when a person criticizes everything you say. Makes you look like an angry 13 year old boy."
Bakhmuth is the modern day Alamo, and US is telling them to surrender it to orcs lol
Because they are not telling the truth, they have denigrated the honor of the 19th century Mexican army, which defended Texas, as cruel, ruthless, and barbaric, while fighting against "the heroes" of the Battle of Alamo led by Davy Crockett, when they were ( the premeditated Americans) who perpetuated an illegal invasion of the Texan territory that belonged to Mexico in 1836, the year the Alamo occurred and the subsequent battle of San Jacinto, which led to the loss of Texas.
Ironically, while Texas was Mexican, slavery was abolished, while with the United States it was legal.
It is time to tell the truth.
VIVA LA TEXAS MEXICANA
You cannot possibly be that racist.
Ah, the Alamo. Preface, I’m not some America hating liberal. I’m a first generation immigrant who was born somewhere else before moving here. I’m also a US military Veteran. Love this Country. But I’m not proud of the Alamo incident at all. Just a modicum of online research will show you that the ‘Americans’ were actually illegal immigrants on Mexican land at the time, and one of the reasons for this conflict was that Mexico had recently abolished slavery, and the illegal immigrants on their land (many of whom brought slaves there) were opposed to that. Think on that next time you consider glorifying Davy Crockett or any of the other people who died in this battle. They actually weren’t the good guys based on modern day morals. Crazy eh? go fact check for yourself…
Oye amigo my roof still ain't done. Also the hedges could use a little trimmy trim por favor. Cry all you want and keep on a hatin, cause y'all ain't ever gonna get it back. It's perdido forever vecino. Que lastima right? Besides y'all need to stay focused on fixing your government and beating down the narcos that keep cutting off y'all's heads. Remember the Alamo! Chapultepec LOL!
third. why did i just post this comment?
Would've never happened if ppl stopped stealing other ppls land 🙄💯
that was the way it was back in those days
We didnt steal that territory from Spain. All of that land, our country today and even more land to the south, all of that was called New Spain. It all became México when we gained our independence.
Btw, its so funny to read an american and racist person talking about "stealing", so freakin funny. Do you even know your country's history? Guess what theyve been doing to other countries all this years...
Ohh, and remember racism is just a way of fear and ignorance.
gewerh44 yes Mexico fought 2 revolutions against Spain how is that any different
They were fighting for independence because slavery was ilegal in Mexico, funny how that part tends to be left out.
No. Mexico claimed up to the Nueces. Texas claimed up to the Rio Grande. America recognized the Republic of Texas as a sovereign nation. This angered Mexico, and Mexico attacked US soldiers who were patrolling the Texas-Mexico border.
Texas? THE RIGHT WORD ITS TEJAS PENDEJO
Remember the Alamo, Liberty to have slaves,
Oscar Abner Trejo yea both Bowie and Travis owned slaves. Everyone else did not. But it turned out well for there slaves. Because when both died, they were actually freemen.
