Alamo was/is an Anglo Bullshit tale, a myth. A bunch of loser Texas Anglos

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

It’s amazing just how stupid Texans are,
Even today most believe the total BULLSHIT made up story
of John Wayne’s ALAMO.

The so-called Hollywood ‘heroes’ of the Alamo was/is/were total fabrication, fiction.

And still the racist Republicans in the Texas state government continue
to push that totally made up crap.

FORGET THE ALAMO

The conflict at the Alamo can be traced back to cotton and slavery.

If you’re a Texan, you know about the Alamo. Or, at least, you know a version of the events that took place back on March 6, 1836. It is, after all, a required subject that’s been taught to seventh graders for generations. But what you may not know, is that teachers are mandated by Texas law to teach kids a “heroic” version of events. This is a version that’s been championed by conservative voices, from John Wayne to Lyndon B. Johnson.

But were there heroes at the Alamo? Let’s look at the events that led up to the legendary clash between the Mexican Army and a group of rebels.

The key message here is: The conflict at the Alamo can be traced back to cotton and slavery.

One of the more questionable aspects of the Alamo legend is what the rebels were fighting for. Those who favor popular mythology would have you believe that Anglo-Americans such as James Bowie, William Travis, and Davy Crockett were fighting for freedom and liberty. But this doesn’t quite track with the real situation that led to the birth of an independent Texas.

At the start of the 1800s, a different kind of revolution was already underway. Eli Whitney had just invented the cotton gin in 1794. This revolutionized cotton production, allowing for a massive increase in output and new fortunes to be made. The American South offered the perfect conditions: vast cotton fields and plenty of avenues for exporting the product. The ugly catch was that these fortunes were dependent upon slave labor. This was a huge booming business through the first half of the century. It’s why the number of enslaved people in the US jumped from 900,000 in 1800 to around 4 million in 1860.
