Thanks for watching.
Minor notes no one will care about:
the left flank of the Texan army was made of volunteers, but militia sounded better and more accurately described the force.
The Texan flag is slightly outdated for this battle, rather it should be the "liberty flag", but the blue and gold looked better for the blue color of the Texan troops.
I overlooked a Texan counter advance on the Mexican cannon which failed on the first day in the interest of time and pacing.
Most of the children killed were musicians in the army, and the "Women" killed is limited to a confirmed single death of a female combatant, but it is likely a few more were run down from the aids and staff members in the mexican camp.
There were a few skirmishes in the woods to the left of the texan line, which is how the Mexican army was alerted to the advance. I however couldn't show them with the scale and flow of the battle.
Though the ending line claims Texas gained official independence from Mexico, Mexico never agreed that Texas was free. In spite of this, I had the script claim that Texas was independent as it flowed better and gave a more simple and accurate idea of how much control Mexico had in Texas after the war.
You will see that a cube behind Houston shoots right as he rides in front of them. This is in reference to the fact that Houston was likely shot by his own men in the fighting.
A mexican general was spotted fleeing across the nearby lake, which is what happened to the commander flag that fled to the right of the screen across the small stream.
The Mexican attack ordered by Santa Anna which Huffines talked about is likely over exaggerated, rather it was probably an order that was given that wasn't able to be followed through to the length I had it shown. (Sorry about that one, I didn't think this would get enough attention so as to look further into that)
The line "fight for your lives" is not as explained as I wanted it to be. The reason for the quote is due to the bridge being the only way out for either army, so by destroying it, smith had effectively turned the battle into an arena without an exit, meaning whoever broke couldn't escape. So much so that Santa Anna would have escaped across it were it not for the destruction.

That reminds me of Chesty Puller in Korea:
Staff Officer: Sir, we are surrounded.
Puller: Good, now they can't get away from us!
This has to be one of the quickest, most lopsided, and consequential battle victories in history!
This proved how cowardly the texians were. That was the only way that they could have won. Dishonorable cowards! Nothing to be proud of.
@@marthagomez7335 Why am I not surprised that you have confused courage with stupidity. They should put this on the Mexican flag.
@@marthagomez7335 The Texans won due to a mix of surprise, a well timed attack, and Santa Anna's poor handling of the pre-battle setup. And don't forget, Santa Anna was claiming to be the "Napoleon of the West" who was famed for his quick, sudden attacks to catch the enemy off guard. Just like the Texans at San Jacinto.
@@marthagomez7335 you sound stupid you should go get mental help
@@marthagomez7335Cry more. Maybe one day Mexico can graduate from their cardboard navy.
I've never seen a video like this! Thanks from Texas.
If you like the style, Epic History has the best versions in my opinion. Warhawk however is a lot closer to home, focusing on both the civil war and the full revolution that I had to gloss over.
@@middleguard1836 Oh, wow! Thank you. God bless you.
I was born in Houston in 1947 but grew up in Pasadena. As youngsters and teens we visited the San Jacinto Battlegrounds many times. It is a beautiful park and is the location of the Battleship Texas. The San Jacinto Monument is spectacular and is the worlds tallest masonry column at 567 ft tall. It houses the San Jacinto museum as well. Thank you Middle Guard!

Thank You brother, my ancestor William Barrett Scates, was there with him. See my note above ...
During a battle when friends and relatives are killed by the other side after surrendering, the blood frenzy can’t be controlled easily. The fact that Santa Ana was not hung bears testimony to Sam Houston’s leadership.
Thomas Rusk tried to keep General Castrillion from being killed but was not successful. Not only did Castillion display bravery and discipline by refusing to flee with his troops, but he was also recorded as having tried to avert bloodshed throughout the campaign. Santa Anna would have none of it, though, ordering the executions of prisoners from the Alamo and the Goliad massacre. Castrillion was later buried nearby at Lorenzo de Zavala's family plantation near La Porte.
Justice for the Alamo ✊🤠
the killing of non combattents and, women and children its an act of WAR CRIME
Santa Anna was more valuable alive than death, if Santa Anna is executed, then Urrea and Filisola would have crushed Houston while crying "¡Viva Santa Anna!"
Houston was not dumb.
No he was not. Too bad the Texans didn't listen to him when he warned them about joining the Confederacy in 1861.
A country the size of France is won by 800 soldiers in one day.
That's how important the life of one man can be to changing history. It's the same for those few who gave their lives, barefoot in the snow, in the Revolution.
Something def not adding up
Keep believing that patriotic bullshiet.
Took more than 1 day, this battle was the result of Hustons epic manoeuvre campaign that started when the Alamo fell.
After Goliad and the Alamo, it’s a wonder ANY prisoners were taken..Texicans were pissed
I'm also surprised Santa Anna was confident going into this battle with barely 3:2 odds in manpower after witnessing the casualty ratios of his forces in some instances being over 5 times the amount of men being lost on his side compared to the rebels.
@@stevencooper4422 SA was an arrogant prig….No upstart colonial frontier militia could stand a charge of his lancers…Life’s funny sometimes 👀😂
I went to 4th grade in Mexico and 5th grade in Texas so i got to hear two completely different perspectives on the Mexican American war
@@gilbarrientos If i may ask, what was the Mexican perspective? I’d love to hear.
This was the Texas revolution before it was part of America. The Mexican American war came shortly after.
As a Native Texan.... born in Houston..... this is our legacy
Last year I stopped at the Battlefield to see it. I missed the ferry by five minutes. But I saw the Monument and the lay of the land. Which makes me more interested in coming back.
amen!
The Words " Fight for your Lives " say's it all.
Your happy about stealing the land originally belonging to Mexicans typical pos.
Erm... so slaughtering woman and children who had nothing to do with the fight is your legacy? Makes sense 4:14
My Great Great grandpa was a scout in Sam Houston's Army and fought in this battle.
@joeverm5184 my ancestors was there too. BURLESON
RIP
To the 11 Texian soldiers and 650 Mexican soldiers who were killed in the Battle of San Jacinto
May they rest in peace. Texas artist Sharon Kopriva (of Houston) did a "Bluebonnet Painting" entitled "21 April, 1837" showing the battlefield one year afterward -- with bluebonnets coming up between the bones of the Mexican Army.
@@adrianjohnson7920 Did you know that this battle was the climax scene from The Alamo (2004)?
Whites couldn't attack Spain thats why they financed Latin Americas "independence" to attack. Anglo-Saxons are cowards.
My husband ancestor, Joseph Ehlinger fought at San Jacinto, he fled to,Texas after fightingwith Napoleon. He was Sam Houston’s drill sergeant.😊
I see where you took inspiration from, you have a lot of potential, this is great content!
Agreed, but your name is a lie!
God Bless Texas. 🇨🇱
Why should He???
@@marthagomez7335 - Sore Loser. We fought for our independence and won. Santa Anna was weak. He’s the one that was a poor general and gave all of the land away. Get mad at him Conchita.
PS. Texas has always been a great neighbor with Mexico. Get over the bitterness.
God bless burgerland
@@wowowawa God damn it!!!!
That’s the flag of Chile, genius
As a Texan, the phrase “Believing the Texans are all but defeated…he is wrong” sums up everything.
Found this at the same time that Warhawk is producing a short series on the Texas Revolution, gotta say it compliments it fairly well!
Thank you!
I will be interested to see when Warhawk's San Jacinto comes out
For such a small scale battle to have such huge consequences is amazing. Only about 2,000 combatants total and a battle that lasted less than a half an hour yet it birthed the Republic of Texas and created a national border that is still the same close to 200 years later.
I'm sure you probably have plenty of ideas for future videos but may I suggest The Battle of Agincourt, Marathon or Yorktown? If you do naval battles it would be cool to see the Monitor/Merrimac clash at Hampton Roads.
Thanks!
There is no republic. Texas lost its slaves, lost the civil war, lost its independence, lost territory that they had stolen anyway!. Texas will never be independent! Make Tejas Mexico again!
Shoulda stayed a damn Republic.
@@philipdobbins2769 Had you stayed a damn republic Mexico would have retaken you or the United States military would have taken you.

@@philipdobbins2769 Good, can’t have everything
Excellent history lesson, Sir! God bless Texas!
Another great video Chris!
I grew up in the shadow of the monument.. Right across the channel, or what’s now a ship channel, in the Brownwood subdivision of Baytown.. The monument rose in the background as you drove down Crow Rd.. That neighborhood was washed away by hurricane Alicia, in 1983, and again by hurricane Ike..
You did a great job.. You gotta admire the sand of Sam Houston.. Ordering Deaf (rhymes with beef) Smith to burn that bridge.. There would be no escape today.. It’s to the death..
I’m choking up right now.. lol..
In Texas history. We were always taught Sana Anna and his troops were taking a siesta at the time of attack; hence, the reason the horses were unsaddled. They were slaughtered because they were overconfident and basically resting during the mid afternoon.
to be fair, Satna Anna was leading the Mexicans, so there was little hope for victory.
Ive been told they took the Siesta because they had anticipated an attack at day break. They built fortifications in the night and waited all morning for the attack, an attack that didn't come till mid late afternoon (4pm) by which point Santa Anna figured Houston wasn't going to attack. So Santa anna's forces were told to stand down. So his forces left their battle positions to rest or cook food at their tents and Cav set their horses to graze, hence why they wernt saddled up. University of North Texas Libraries has a great video on this.
@@Jamblinman yeah that’s pretty much what happened from what I read.
On the behalf of Sam Houston, my great great.... lot of greats, uncle.. thanks for making this video.
No negative comments. What's done is done.
I remember reading a book as a kid entitled “Remember the Alamo” by Robert Penn initially published in 1958. As an 11 year old I read the account of the Alamo siege and Goliad massacre. I also read that the bodies were burned in funeral pyres which was shocking to read as a 10-11 year old kid in 1966. Anyway, the Battle Jacinto account in the book was described as a surprise attack on a Mexican army taking a siesta. Since then most accounts I have read describe the Battle of San Jacinto as a pitched battle. By the way, Mr. Penn’s account was definitely pro-Texan, and the book gave me a keen interest in Mexican and U.S. History from Mexican independence from Spain through the Mexican/American War, a kid from Cleveland, Ohio. In February 1982 I answered a recruitment ad from the then Immigration and Naturalization Service and I ended up getting stationed in Brownsville, Texas in 1984. Brownsville, Texas is the site of the catalyst that began the Mexican/American War in 1846.
This presentation was as quick and powerful as the battle itself. Well done!
And of course... 'MERICA!!!!!! 🇺🇸❤🤍🩵💪🏾✯TEXAS✯💪🏾
Texas has one of the greatest origin stories of all the 50 states
Including being the only state that was once an independent nation!
Until it wasn't.
The lone star state, I may be biased but Texas is the best state EVER
@@garyjackson3531 North Carolina and Vermont were independent for a few years after the revolution. California was too but only for 3 days😅
I'm surprised that's not brought up often in American History. Oh well...
Love this video and the narrator has a wonderful voice. A monumental video!
Houston was a street fighter with advice from trained officers, The Generalissimo was a politician advised by trained officers. Who would have advantage in a set-piece battle? Houston was smart enough to know not to play by the rules. He wanted a brawl at close quarters where he could avoid artillery and coordinated fire. His relatively undisciplined force achieved exactly this.
Houston was a falling down drunkard
Great information and the music was appropriate. Thank you. 👌🏾
We lived for 22 years on land that was part of Houston's homestead and across from the Sam Houston Memorial Museum in Huntsville. We moved three years ago to Florida to be near our son. Still two Texians "merely living in Florida". 🙂
WE ARE TEXAS!!!!
Puro pedo wey! Lambiscon
My forefather Thomas Jefferson Rusk led the charge that day. His name is inscribed on the San Jacinto Monument and is recognized as on of the 12 Heroes of the Republic of Texas.
Nice shout out to Warhawk, I think the algorithm showed me you cause I hatch his videos but there’s never too many animated battle map creators
Amazing, Texas truly came into being within a day of this battle. One battle decided the fate of the state and the border as it is today and freedom for the people of Texas, the Mexicans still seethe today and do everything in their power to change this. 800 men showed their absolute bravery and wrath after the Alamo and how the Mexicans treated their enemies. Just think if Santa Anna had of been a bit more civil than he was it might of not lit the fires within the hearts of these Texans and make them attack with such fervent zeal. Long live the free state of Texas ⭐. Thanks a great little battle vid, great work.
The freedom of the people of Texas... the freedom to enslave others.
You do know Mexicans fought with Sam Houston. His best General was Juan Seguin. Seguin, Texas.
@@hectormoto5044 Yes I do, that is why Texas is so solid today in its makeup because of the disporia of its founding fathers. When I was there many years ago I actually went to one of the museums that showed how the ranchers of Hispanic decent from the period lived and worked the lands in and around where Houston the city is today, they were every bit as much part of the formation of Texas as any other group of peoples who helped bring the Lonestar state into being.
Edit. when I mean Mexicans I talk about the government of that country and those across from the Border who have nothing to give Texas but would see it in the same dire straights as Mexico it's self.
@@hectormoto5044They are called Tejanos. I am Tejano. We are no more Mexican than Crockett was.
We got you back at the battle of Salado Creek, Dawson massacre. The Mexican army under the command of a French Brigadier General crushed the Texians in 1842. Dawson massacre.
general santa ana is the epitome of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
From written accounts, the Texans knew the Mexicans would siesta, and used that to spring a surprise attack while the Mexicans were sleeping.
@joeshithragman3264 yeah not only that but he was America's greatest general in the Mexican American War, a war that Mexico should have easily won
@@RamGuttaNah. Santa Anna was a architect fighting actual military trained officers.
See the battle of Pueblo for a perfect exmple!
@@RamGutta Mexico 🇲🇽 did win, more Mexicans in the southwest without firing a single shot!
Santa Ana considered himself the "Napoleon of the West. " wagon loads of ego and hubris.
So much for the "Napoleon of the Americas", this guy lost so many battles and neverthless was ailed in his country as a great general....
And in the war of 1845 he lost California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada.....
He did not loose " so many battles", this was the first time he had ever lost a battle in 20 years of constant war. Mind you, he fought 5 times as battles as George Washington, so let that insane record sink in before you try to judge him again. There's a reason why he was called the Napoleon of the west, and he was not the one who gave himself that name, in case you were wondering. It was the Spanish who gave him this name after he defeated them in 1822 during their attempted reconquest of Mexico. More specifically, it was a Spanish general who fought during the Napoleonic wars and who had attributed his defeat at the hands of Santa Anna to the way Napoleon had previously defeated his army in Spain a decade before, so that is how the title stuck.
Also, he was not loved in Mexico as you say, he is to this day the most hated man in Mexican history. Primarily becuase Mexicans blame him for loosing the Mexican-American war even though the loss was not even his fault, but rather the fault of the Mexican elites and of catholic church who betrayed the country in the middle of the war to overthrow the government. This forced Santa Anna to retreat when he was on the verge of wiping out Taylor's army, and ended up loosing the only chance he had to finish the war on Mexican terms. It was the divided country, and above all, the wealthy Mexicans that lost the northern territories, not Santa Anna.
Im a historian by the way, and I have studied Santa Anna in close detail. Even the Duke of Wellington (Yes, that duke, Sir Arthur Wesley) AND your very own General Winfield Scott called Santa Anna a military genius during the American campaign of Veracruz, Mexico. So are you saying these very seasoned and respected generals were idiots for saying that????????? Your an idiot man, and of the purest kind! You have not even the slightest idea of what comes out of your mouth, yet you speak so surely as if there is so much ignorance around you. Read a book first before you talk, you may just realize how dumb your comments really are before you humiliate yourself. Remember that ignorance kills.
Mexican soldiers are pretty great fighters. His cavalry the Mexican Cuirassiers were some of the most feared cavalrymen in the Americas but of course they need to be put in good hands lol
@@cal_oh3663 Consider how bad was Mexico 's leadership, and this was reflected in their officers ' corp. Also with corageus soldiers, if their generals are awful, you can't win, look at Italy 's army & navy in WWII, Rommel admired our soldiers in N. Africa, but generally despised his italian counterparts.
Yeah, because of all those dang immigrants!! lol
Lions led by a sheep. Mexicans would've crushed the rebellion if they had a spanish generals from spain.
Makes me even prouder to be a 4th generation Texan!
The only child killed at San Jacinto was a 14 year old drummer. An ugly act, but he was considered a soldier. He also had 2 broken legs and was unable to escape. Only one woman was killed at this battle. She was actually murdered after the fighting had ended. Some Texian stabbed her with his sword in the chest. He explained that he wanted to blood his sword. All that night his fellow Texians made fun of him and berated him. I can't remember which book I read this in. Texians did, indeed, slaughter the Mexican soldiers. But remember, Mexican soldiers had taken no prisoners at the Alamo. At Goliad trhey murdered 342 captive Texians. Only something like 26 escaped.
I know for a fact I've heard that same anecdote. I'd like to find a source on it.
U forget they let women a n children go before the battle
That is correct, smhmay. The narrator makes this sound much worse than it was, with regard to the drummer boy and the one extremely unfortunate woman being killed. Also, in none of the many first hand accounts is a Mexican counterattack against the Texian center noted. This is a pure fabrication, perhaps for making a more exciting presentation. C'mon. This channel can do better than this.
@@tone3994 I have never read about any other womem or children being present at the battle.
@@rogerrice5475 I generals went off of Huffines source and even I thought that that part was a bit out there in terms of plausibility. In my mind I could see Santa Anna trying to order an attack in the chaos, but it getting nowhere. I do however think I over showed how far the attack got, and I probably should have left it as an arrow rather than having the company move forward.
good job. lots of small battles you can do short videos like this for most of the bigger guys simplify. keep it up!
I get the impression that a lot of Mexico's problems started with Gen. Santa Anna and his supreme overconfidence. A good overview of the Battle of San Jacinto. I didn't realize that the number of men involved was so small. Barely a battalion on either side.
Hello, if I recall after the border crossing and Battles of Goliad and the Alamo de Valero, Santa Ana sent roughly 6000 troops back over the border into Mexico, as being unneeded.
Just found this channel - really great content!
same here
Omg history rebels!
It seems copies from Epic History.
In the description he says this video was inspired by Warhawk which does have some inspiration from EHTV, but they have evolved their own style by now.@@SirGeorgeofWorcestershire
@@FieldMarshalYT To me is an exact copy of Epic History, the only thing that changes is the narrator's voice.
A fabulous video! Just wonderful. Please do more.
I watched “”The Alamo” , 2004, tonight. Clad to find this video. “Remember the Alamo “ !
While John Wayne's "Alamo" takes a lot of poetic license, but makes a Texan proud, the Billy Bob Thornton version is superior and more accurate in every way, plus it includes the Battle of San Jacinto. Excellent movie.
I love EpicHistoryTV template
Remember the Alamo remember goliad
After the horrors of goliad, good luck reigning me in. They are all fair game. Same women and children who cheered the slaughter of our civilians. How they kept Santa Anna alive is amazing.
Middle Guard, I rather enjoyed this. I used to go to the San Jacinto Monument and Battleground quite a lot in my teens. I remember there being a plaque on a tree that said after Santa Ana was captured, he was dressed in a woman’s dress and his men force marched in front of him while tied to that tree. The idea was to make sure Santa Ana wouldn’t change his mind and come back with the rest of his troops. If you ever get a chance to visit the Monument & Battleground, please do go.
Just found this channel from Warhawk. You have a new sub, like and viewer for sure! Your cadence and delivery is amazing.
Why thank you!
Nice video well told story of the battle and the aftermath, Thank you
Wow - just found this! Hope there’s more coming, love this style!
Coleto is the Battle of Goliad or aka the Goliad Massacre, the other less famous Alamo. During the Texan charge they yelled, “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!”. More people were actually killed at Goliad than at the Alamo.
Omitted from this video but legend has it Emily D Morgan, a captured slave woman was having sex with Santa Anna the morning of the battle which is why the Mexicans were caught off guard. She is known as the Yellow Rose of Texas, a homage to her mixed race being a 'yellow bone'.
This story is pure myth and didn't happen.
@@billieunderwood8303 I did say ‘legend has it’ so I’m not sure what you are refuting.

After the Alamo and Goliad, Santa Ana was lucky that Houston did not impale him. Texas was ceded legally by Mexico despite what the poorly-educated claim today.
This was a great video with clean graphics. Keep up the good work.
The victor can write the narrative anyway they wish. Truth is Mexico took offense to all of the illegal immigration that was pouring into Texas, (immigration was capped at 5,000, a census found 35,000) hence Santa Ana’s revenge tour.
‘Poorly educated’ very rich.
Santa Anna was more valuable alive than dead, if Houston executes Santa Anna then Generals Urrea and Filisola keep advancing and crush Houston.
Texas was only officially ceded until the end of the Mexican American War with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Thank You , one of my ancestors was there. William Barrett Scates, who was also one of the 38 signers, creating Texas... Scates had been one of Jim Bowie, group of men .
Mr Scates, was a reasonably prosperous merchant, before arriving at Galveston, where he met a young lawyer, named William Barrett Travis, of later Alamo fame .
Scates , at wars end, was penniless, half naked, and starving, and he was one of the Signers...
Also David Crockett, when he arrived at San Antonio, sold his watch so he would have a little pocket money. He probably celebrated George Washington birthday, with a few drinks ...
So these were poor men, in Texas lands to start over from mostly a failed life, and by enlisting hoped for some food and earn some land in lieu of pay ...
They knew each other, Scates with Bowie and Travis, that Jacinto battle was personal to them. Their friends were murdered and possibly tortured as a bull is molested in the bull ring for slaughter. Perhaps wounded Alamo defenders were thrown alive into the fire pits, who would admit to it. The Texicans slaughtered the Mexicans as their friends had been slaughtered, a biblical, an eye for an eye...
Those who accuse them of fighting for slavery, do not know the facts of the matter...
Fantastic video! Well done and on a battle not many outside of Texas know about.
That Peter Gabriel song is so haunting.

Santa Ana really believed himself to be the “Napoleon of the West”.
Well, they don't really teach it this way in Texas History in 7th grade. Back then they had the captives of Goliad drawing stones, black or white, to see which half got slaughtered. At least that's what they taught me. For the Alamo they pretty much played the John Wayne movie.
Great videos! Keep it up and you’ll go far
Every time I pass by the Alamo and see all the visitors, I get so inspired by my Mexican heritage. Such a great victory for our people! Although the victory was short lived, it was a victory nonetheless.

I was told, The Mexican forces were taking a siesta, and they were complete surprised. The Texas milita ran through there camp and the Mexicans weren't event battle ready. This showed they were able to form battle lines and hold a defense.
There are multiple sources, but due to the evidence of skirmishing in rhetoric woods on the left of Sherman, I chose to follow the more alert Mexican story, which is still a panicked forming for battle.
"Remember the Alamo!"
Lawrenceburg, KY, Salt River Tigers were there I believe.
Great Video, Wondering where you got the smoke effects for the muskets and the cannons? Also where did you get the music?
the effects came from Videvo from what I can remember, and the music is from Filmstro.
@@middleguard1836 Thanks

Luck had nothing to do with it. It was all well thought out and planned to the last detail.
Sun Tsu would approve
Interesting fact about the battle and its aftermath. Sam Houston and Santa Anna refused to burry the dead Mexican soldiers, so they laid where they stood and fell until they were down to just their bones
Please learn the difference between the terms “Calvary” (the hill upon which Jesus was crucified) and “cavalry” (a mobile
military unit that performs reconnaissance and screening missions).
um, where are you referring this to?
That is a grating mistake that so many of today's professional journalism graduates make. Having served with combat cavalry units, it just grates every time I hear them say Calvary.

OK, so when is the politically correct version going to come out saying it was really black slaves, Hispanics and women who did all the real fighting for the Texans? Maybe an HBO movie?
Give it a rest already.
