This is one of the best videos on RUclips! Thank you, i can never hear this true story, too much! God Bless Texas forever! native Texan and disabled Veteran
I'm from Arkansas and have lived in Texas. I can see how people come to love it. There is something about it that gets into your blood. A lot of my ancestors settled in East Texas and a lot in Sabine County. I lived about 40 miles SE of Dallas and understand why they settled there. I loved it and still miss it. Though I currently live in Georgia, I may end up going back there someday.
In the Benson library at UT a Mexican Commander Castaneda in the skirmish had already describing small signal and thousand lbs cannon or six pound shot. Gonzales has it wrong. Mexico had written details in all conflicts.
This is an excellent video, thanks for posting. Why is the State of Texas historical marker dedicating the spot where the cannon was actually fired on the banks of the Guadalupe river and not the San Marcos river ?
The San Marcos river joins with the Guadalupe River just west of Gonzales. If they were walking along the river banks due to flooding, they could easily have been along either river. The spot where the marker is locating the first shot is south west of Gonzales near Cost. Due to the failure of some small dams in the Gonzales area, there is not even in water there presently. September 2021
The fairy tale s/read, "Come and Take It' and below this s/be written: 'We did, but you Fled!' At the Gonzales altercation on October 2, 1835, a Mexican section of forty cavalrymen charged over 200 rebels with a small cannon, however, the rebels fled back into a woodland where had come out of to shoot at the Mexican military. They fired once more from the woodland they were hiding in, then the Mexicans left. Hence, the Come and Take it flag should have written on it, "We did come, but you all fled!"
If the Texans all fled, then why did the Mexicans go back empty-handed?? Do you logic, bruh? Cannon remained and is still in Texas. Obviously, it was the Mexicans that fled with their tails tucked between their butt cheeks.
@@mikeradu2010 The residents fled into a woodland that was behind their backs for cover, taking that toy cannon with them. They ran because a 40 man cavalry unit charged at them, and they fled BACK into the wood line. The Mexicans, and NO cavalry unit of the world would ever charge into a wood line, they would be cut to pieces. That ole' thing was a very small thing anyways, hence, instead of losing any men the Mexican correctly withdrew to San Antonio. Later, those Gonzales guys, would meet they deserve end at the Alamo and Goliad....how dumb is THAT? Victory goes with the Mexican army!
@@SKY-jv9ue It is my understanding that the shots were all fired across the river. I'm not really sure where you are from but saying that they deserved the end the met at the Alamo and Goliad is beyond disgusting
@@sarahrush5437 In one way, you are quite correct - no one deserves to die like those at the Alamo & Goliad did. However, think in broader terms. Those men came to Mexico to take something that did not belong them in any way, shape or form. Did they come to Mexico looking for jobs? No, they came to Texas to steal and rob...and they did! The Mexican soldier was just defending their country against a horde of illegal aliens from the States - they also deserve glory too, for fighting for their Fatherland. That's why there needs to be some kind of a Monument to the Mexican soldier at Alamo Plaza & Goliad.
Their cowards they begged the USA to come save them they ran from the Mexicans so they took some stuff left some stuff ..and started using the cannon as a trophy which the Mexicans did not care about its propaganda
Washington-on-the Brazos, near Brenham, is where the delegates met in late February-early March of 1836 to discuss the issues with Mexico (specifically Santa Anna's over throw of the 1824 Constitution). They drafted the Texas Declaration of Independence and signed in on March 2. 1836 while Travis was under siege at the Alamo. The Battle of Gonzales took place 5 months earlier.

Ft Worth native. Great video bro
Thanks so much! Great history lesson that I needed. Planning to visit Gonzales and Palmetto Park. Gives me a whole new viewpoint.
Joe Rogan I recognize that playing in the background! :)
Travis was a Lieutenant Colonel,not a General.
Come and Take it, the Mexicans, "We Did Come, But you all fled!"
Exactly they ran to the USA begging to be saved
@@towlette902 lol, where are you from?

good job!!!
Greetings from G-Town
The González cannon is too small. A six pound shot cannon would be thousand pounds. That’s a signal cannon Mexico didn’t want that one

@@SKY-jv9ue Are we kinda of packing some hate?
Absolutely beautiful, can't wait till we separate from the US👍
@Johann Schmidt - From your lips to God’s ears. Although I don’t live in TX, I support the TX cessation movement.
Andrei Raducanu, cool, thanks lad
There won't us in future . I think all states would be separated .
Their cowards they begged the USA to come save them they ran from the Mexicans so they took some stuff left some stuff ..and started using the cannon as a trophy which the Mexicans did not care about its propaganda
Sounds like the apaches had their own come and take it protest
I thought Washington county was the birthplace of Texas in Brenham?
