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

7. Not all of them

I don’t doubt or deny that most of the Anglo combatants at the Alamo were either slave-holders or wanna-be slave-owners, but I expect that more than a few were people who’d been trying to get a fresh start or, like the few Tejanos who also died at the Alamo, were leery of Santa Ana and his efforts to create a centralized authoritarian state. That part should also be remembered.

I am not trying to white-wash the racist behavior and attitudes of many of the Texan combatants here. But I’m not about to remain silent about the character and behavior of Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his political actions and his behavior in the field and after the battle. Such regimes should be opposed.

If you don’t think that the Texans who died at the Alamo deserve that amount of respect, I can’t stop you. But I believe that the rebels massacred in Zacatecas and in the Yucatán do.
