The Alamo is a myth that the Texicans were fighting for their freedom.
They were paid by the Slave interests to settle in Texas with the idea of having their plantations there. And the fact that Mexico was offering land cheap brought many as well but they had no interest in respecting the authority of the Mexican government.
They considered themselves superior to the Mexicans.
Then Mexico outlawed slavery so they set out to annex that territory by force so they could have the fertle land they needed.
Some how this story never is told in the movies.
And there were Mexicans fighting Sant Anna , but you never see them either.

I think that he was pointing out that in every point in history there are two sides and both sides often have a logical arguement...but the losing side rarely gets nearly as much say as the winner.

Maybe Im reading too much into things lol but I wonder what will be said of this in 100 or so years

and by "this" I mean this whole election repubodemo back and forth. Sometimes I think the only two things the people of US are in agreement upon are the dislike of terrorists hurting us and our illiogical tendancy to be extremely opinionated even in the face of reason.

There are points of time where everyone is wrong and that everyone needs to step back and breathe.
btw srry for the double post my phone has a text input limit!
