Remember the Alamo

or not

"there is not a single scene in The Alamo which corresponds to a historically verifiable incident"
   --Alamo historian Timothy Todish

The Mexican troops who attacked the Alamo are always described in the history books as the aggressors, so the first thing to clarify is that the Alamo was in Mexico. The so-called “Texians” who were in the fort representing the Republic of Texas were part of an attempt by U.S. slave states to expand the scope of slavery westward.
