My wife is a desendant of one of the Texans that fought here. I got to see the collections below monument and hold one of Jim Bowie's knives. That museum has some of the most amazing assemblages of artifacts I have ever seen.
I'm blessed alright. Who wouldn't feel that way? Texas had to fight for her independence as did the United States before her. We were a republic. A free republic. A place where man could go and do as he please. We have heroes who fought for her… some from faraway places for the right to be such a place. So many things to be proud of, from the migrant settlers and heroes of the early days, to the heroes of space exploration and more. We are, as they say, like a whole other country. Mountains, prairies, 3000 plus miles of shoreline, dense forests, deserts and the beautiful rolling hills of central Texas. There is no other place like her. Anywhere. Yeah…. I’m blessed, and don’t try to tell us we shouldn’t be. We’re Texans! What a wonderful day to celebrate our independence. God Bless Texas!
@@rogerborroel4707 equally funny they were both pretty terrible people at least by today's standard, we were also taught along with that story about "machismo" culture and how that story was more of an insult to the Mexican armies, and not historical truth
@@masdavis236 Exactly, by the way he was captured in an enlisted man's uniform. And when he arrived in the Texan camp, from his horse, he shouted aloud to his own men and the Texans, "I'm Santa Anna!" This data was gathered from a examination of freed Mexican prisoners by a Mexican Court of Inquiry, in July of 1837, Mexico.
Davis, you got Santa Anna mixed up with confederate ex-president Jeff Davis of the Lost Cause. He tried to get away wearing a woman's shaw...LOL! HA! HA! And this is in the history books!
@ScottfromTexas actually the Spanish and later the Mexicans couldn’t settle what is now Texas. The Comanches were too strong. Check out what happened at presido San Saba in early 1700’s. Clue. White man annihlated. There were less than 7000 Mexicans in tx by 1820. They couldn’t get anybody to live here on account of the Comanches. That’s how Moses Austin came up with his idea of getting anglos to settle here. It’s why the Spanish still in control allowed them in. The problem starts when too many Anglos succeeded and eventually outnumbered the Mexicans. By then the Mexicans had kicked the Spanish out but ended up with their own tyrant dictator. His answer was to kick the anglos out. That’s the rest of the story that is clearly being wiped out by stupid commie BLM parrots like the idiot who started this chain
@ScottfromTexas I got a lot of my info, from Time-Life book series "The West." There are 20 some books in this series. You can find them used on Amazon for sometimes as low as $5. The two books from that series that tell much more detail of what I typed are "The Spanish Southwest" and "The Texans." Really interesting stuff, that is being squashed now, right down the Memory Hole, if "they" get their way. I'll put your recommendation on my list of books to look for.
This was not a battle but a massacre of fleeing Mexican troops who were ambushed on that day. Hence, the correct title of this action is The Jacinto Massacre. Houston did NOT defeat the Mexican army at the Massacre, only the vanguard of the army, for there were still 3200 Mexican troops at Old Fort, about 40 miles west of the massacre.
The Mexicans had a dug in camp position on the battlefield, it's not like they were staying at a Hilton or anything. Plus they were waiting for the Texan attack, but it didn't come. So the exhausted reinforcements from Mexican General Cos' fell asleep and the Texans caught them dozing off by chance when their attack was launched. Also the 3,200 Mexican troops were starving and cut off from any supplies due to rains ruining the roads so they were effectively useless and then proceeded to retreat back to Mexico to avoid another military disaster.
@@thecolbster27 The Mexicans were not dug in, they barely had a barricade made up of horse saddles, very flimsy indeed. And they were not waiting for any attack, for they did not even put any patrols in front of their camp....they never thought that they would be attack in broad daylight. No, the exhausted troops under Cos who just force marched 40 miles, were in the process of cooking their food, when they were attacked by Houston's men. The 3200 troops at old Fort were not starving, but only wanted to go forward and attack Houston, forcing him to have a real battle. But then Filisola became commander, and ordered the troops to withdraw across the rivers, and then he made it a complete withdrawal, against the desires of the battalion commanders.
@@SKY-jv9ue Since the Mexican troops were unprepared, and exhausted,, that meant it was the perfect moment for the Texian Army to attack. After over 630 Mexicans were killed and a few hundred more captured once the killing had ended, the remaining Mexican troops had withdrawn not only because Santa Anna had ordered it, but because their gunpowder was wet and their supplies were running low.
@@briansheehan5256 First of all, over 500 troops were made prisoners, not a few hundred. The Mexican troops left for Matamoros because Santa Anna ordered it, and Gen. Filisola complied with the order. The other Mexican troops were against it, they would be coming back again, they thought.
I think Wichita should build one of these but make a small plane at the top out of concrete. It would represent the air capital of the world which is Wichita. I would go with a height of 600 feet and have the observation area over 500 feet above ground level.
And you pay taxes to the lone star flag and are governed by the Texas constitution and you always will be. I'm of mexican decent and Independent Texas > Mexico any day of the week. Theres a reason why you're here and not there

I was born here.
Santa Anna was captured in pasa-get-down-dena. Find the marker above the entrance of the Washburn tunnel.
Pasa-getdown-dena!! Haven't heard that one in years. Love it!
I dont see marker any more.

Never miss your videos. Another great one... thank you.. God bless you and your family..a friend and a fan...
The first shots of the Texas revolution were fired at the Battle of Velasco (June 25 - 26 1832) the Battle of Gonzales was on October 2, 1835.
That's a nice view of the San Jacinto monument
God bless ALL of our Texas Independence heroes.
Dont forget about Emily Morgan (Yellow Rose of Texas)
What does this pillar mean? I saw this in the 1800s cemetery graves?

I would say Texas had to fight two wars for independence. One succeeded and the other did not.
Texas ended up joining the confederacy as a slave state 👎.
Lmao! Growing up in Texas we were taught about Santa Anna being captured and disguised as a women 🤣
No, that was james bowie, crying like a woman under the covers when he was killed by Mexican soldiers!

The Gateway Arch, Missouri is the tallest monument in America. Please do research before you make these bold claims in your videos just to get clicks.
Just repeating what the rangers told me. Maybe single spire monument ?
Remember guys SANTA ANA WAS A MASON AND SO WAS SAM HOUSTON THIS IS WHAT THEY TELL US BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
Because everyone who did anything was part of some secret society. How else could they have succeeded, talent?
thes is cool

It's interesting how you failed to mention how the Mexican army massacred people at Goliad, The Alamo, and in Zacatecas.
I wouldn’t feel proud but ashamed. Thank God I’m not from Tejas.
Eh? You're gonna have to explain that one. The underdog beat a new world super power. That's something everyone can cheer for.
It’s alright, it’s a dumb woman talking, let her talk. I’m a proud Texan where men died for the revolution. Remember Goliad! Remember The Alamo!
I think Wichita should build one of these but make a small plane at the top out of concrete. It would represent the air capital of the world which is Wichita. I would go with a height of 600 feet and have the observation area over 500 feet above ground level.
