Texians fought, and ultimately defeated, tyranny in the form of the contemporary Mexican regime of 1835. In the wake of victory, Texas established a Constitutional Republic with the intent of protecting the citizen's natural rights and securing the blessings of liberty on all its people.

BULLSHIT

Mexico let Americans into Texas to develop it. Texans demanded the right to bring slaves. They smuggled slaves in. Mexico said no. Boom! Texas declares independence. WTF? Then Texans get all patriotic when they see the Alamo. I would say no offense, but I refrain. This is your history. You may as well be saluting slavery if you say "Remember the Alamo!"

They apparently have a military. Abolish this group now.

I remember this guy that came as a guest speaker in my Spanish class. He said he represented the 'Chicano Movement'. Basically, this guy was one of the biggest radicals/racists I've ever seen in person. I dunno', this thread just reminded me of him.

PS: Aztec, there was more to it, even my Liberal-ass, piece of shit History book told us more than that....

the alamo wasnt for slavery, it was for freedom, because the santa ana was being domineering, in fact most of the texas settlers were granted cheap land, and couldnt even afford nor wanted slaves. But this site is the most embarassing thing to texans ever, the fact is that texas ASKED to join the US, they werent conquered like this group tries to lead you to believe. They claim the US is a "Military Occupation" that is total bullshit.

aztec, i belive it was something like less than 5 percent of texans had slaves, and santa anna was being a real bitch, see, texas didnt care to leave mexico rule, just like america, we wanted to govern ourselves, be a state, and have less taxes, but as i said, santa anna was a bitch. so we fought.

and the Alamo was a great battle, i hate to copy a newspaper over a hundred years old, but Thermopylae now has a equivlent, where a small number of men fought against a numericaly superior enemy, held them off, long enough for their forces to gather to pose a threat to the enemy.

hear hear. Well put Everay. Kudos to you.
