Sorry guys, just an FYI to everyone watching, this video was intended to be watched by like 150 people who were all part of two Australian gaming communities back in 2013, so for everyone mentioning the subtitles they are names of different people in said communities. We had many Regiments (clans) within those communities. We used to play Mount and Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars. This video was just a bit of fun to make and share around with mates, but for some reason it blew up and now has over a million views, there other parts and other videos that dont exist anymore. Thanks :)
The mexican uniforms were legacy of Spanish Army and many of them were used back in the Napoleonic Camping in Spanish Pennninsula. Most of new nation of Latinamerica keep same uniforms just making small changes for example Mexico changed cockade colors from red & white of spanish flag to red/white/green of mexican flag. Santa Anna was a fan of Napoleon so he tried to make some units as immitation from Napoleon Grande Armée for example 0:29 Coraceros de Tulancingo were an attempt of copy from french Cuirassiers or Cuerpo de Zapadores that had the same uniforms as French Regiment of Engineers also Santa Anna tried to copy the biggest unit of Napoleon's Army "The Old Guard" making "Guardia de los Poderes Supremos" that was a combination of red Jacket with blue pants and Bearskin like granadiers created to protect the Congress and the President.
those werent tulancingo cuirassiers those were general staff guard. tulancingo wasnt formed until like 1844. also the guard of the supreme powers werent formed until 1844 aswell
The dragoons seen in 2:20 were a cavalry unit known as the “Coraceros de Tulancingo”. They originated from a military school/convent located in the town of Tulancingo in the state of Hidalgo known as the “Escuadrón Activo de Tulancingo” formed in 1820. They were the highest and most skilled cavalry in the Mexican army. My great great great great grandfather, Anastasio de Morra, was part of the first brigade of these heavy cavalry formed in 1820. To this day we still have his breast plate, sword and beautiful helmet.
That is awesome. On my Mom"s side my ancestors came from Spain as well but by this time they had already come up into Louisiana and then headed to NYC. But yeah the officer's corp was all nobleman and they were quite brave, they carried that European noblemen mindset of the day that you also saw in Napoleon' "Grande Arme" and the Prussian guard. Alot of peacocking in brilliant uniforms and fearlessness
The second Mexican who came out of the cottage fired his weapon but the flashpan malfunctioning caused it to just shoot sparks everywhere. That is where the phrase “flash in the pan” comes from.
I thought cap-locks were standard by then. For those that don't know, a cap-lock is a type of action where the gun's hammer strikes a brass or copper cap containing a chemical that explodes when crushed. Before firing, the hammer is moved to half-cock and the cap is placed on a nipple. This nipple is hollow to allow the crushed cap to ignite the main charge in the barrel. In contrast, the older flint lock had a hammer with replaceable flint attached to the end of it. Just like before, after loading the main charge and ball, the shooter would move the hammer containing the flint to half-cock, they would also flip up a cover over the priming pan, this is called a frizzen. The frizzen keeps the primer charge out of the elements. When the weapon is fired, the hammer strikes the closed frizzen covering the powder. The hammer striking the frizzen produces a burst of sparks. The sparks ignite the priming charge which ignites the main charge in the barrel through a small touch hole in the barrel.
@@twistedyogert caplocks had started around that time, but most of the defenders of the Alamo brought their own guns, and most, if not all, were flintlock muskets.
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002 way worst, the first 15 years of Porfirio where the best time for México, he’s the example for “You ether die a hero or live to become the villain”. Santa Ana was an a hole from the beginning, and lost all the northern territories.
@@srjack5516 bueno, pero Santa Ana hizo mas pendejadas v: Se reveló contra Iturbide, se reveló contra guerrero, se reveló con todos, fue presidente mas de 1 vez, algunos durando 1 año, venía y volvía... Tal vez sin Santa Ana México hubiera estado mejor.
@@RolLeoRM no creó ya qué Santana al igual que Guerrero y todos solo querían el poder, Santana era un dictador en todo sentido de la palabra, pero ni Santana fue tan traidor que Juárez al menos Santana hizo lo que hizo por qué lo capturaron, Juárez lo hizo solo para qué un gobierno lo reconociera. Eso en mi opinión es peor...
San Antonio's downtown is a beautifully knit and historically mindful spot. Standing at the Main Plaza for example, there is a lively mood to the site. Waterfalls, music and food vendors as they have been for over a hundred years. Inside the Church of San Fernando at the plaza are the ashes of the Alamo dead, collected by Juan Seguin (also in the movie, the Tejano captain sent out by Travis and kept by Houston). There are numerous markers along the streets that mark historical sites and important places. It's stunning if you know your history well.
@@rosariosanchez9157 he never said anything derisive towards the Mexican people or your ethnicity so therefore it is not a racist statement he instead pointed out that your government and military are profoundly corrupt and infiltrated by organized crime which you may or may not agree with but to say it's racist is incorrect criticizing your country isn't racist, if you were to critique or make fun of a country does that automatically make you racist towards the people who live there?
It's a pity this movie was shot down so hard. I believe that it is so far the first - and only - one to give the most realistic account of the Alamo battle and its aftermath.
@Zachlovescats95 lol it was a historically accurate depiction, the Texans kicked absolute ass at San Jacinto and wiped out the Mexicans in eighteen minutes
@@leetheflea4096They should make a sequel about the subsequent Texas joining the USA and the Mexican American War....we really kicked their butts. Would love to see the actual action behind the Marine Corps "Halls of Montezuma"
The Actor the chose for Santa Anna looks like he should be playing him at a much later point in his life, as during this war he was still rather young, I'd dare say late 20s to early early 30s. I say this only because I know he wrote a manifesto in Veracruz in which he talked about his achievements thus far and contributions towards Mexico as well as his take on his crushing defeat at the hands of the rebel Texicanos led by Sam Houston, he wrote this when he was 35. This would also be around the time he would lose his leg and have it buried with full military honors lol.
@Jamie Jones if that's true, then there is cause to believe that Dave Crockett was allowed to live after the Alamo. With him being such a hero of the American frontier and also a free Mason, I can't see Santa Anna being given such treatment without him providing the same to Crockett, but I guess we'll never truly no...
Yes. Otherwise this film is pretty accurate but I thought he looked too old. I also wonder at his ornate uniform. Joe, enslaved body servant of Travis, was a major witness to the battle and aftermath. He said Santa Anna looked,like a Methodist preacher.
FOR ALL: The subtitles are from a game called Mount and Blade Warband Napoleonic Wars. These two groups were in the oceanic part of the community. The MOV controller most of the Oceanic community and LCC stood against them. So the titles for the regiments are for the groups that are in the game. Long story short that is what all the subtitles are from.
This was a small War. However, it's crazy to think that an independent country with almost no population managed to beat up what was a national standing army. The War was one by close to a 1,000 men, and Santa Anna's strength in Texas was around 6,000 troops. The Texas forces were a hodgepodge of men from different states... and it was really formed on the fly.
Honestly when I think about it. Its incredible for some ranch farmers to beat a Mexican army. But remember majority of Santa Anna's army was actually raw recruits, criminals, and even sometimes prisoners. Which if you think about it I doubt they are too determined to win unlike the Texans they were fighting for there lives and lands.
Some Mexican states rebelled againt Santa Anna, too. There had also been "incidents" since the mid-1820s between Mexican federal authority and the Texians/Tejanos.
Dude, completely agree! My grandma took me to the Alamo when I was about 10 in 2003 on a trip from California to Texas...I wouldn't be such a history buff if that never took place, that shit really affected me! But yeah, Billy Bob looks JUST like Davy in his portrait. Absolutely rocked the fucking boat in the movie as Crockett!!!
Lealtad, Fuerza y Coraje, Disciplina Militar. Soy soldado mexicano, soy un guerrero jaguar, soy un caballero aguila listo para atacar. Mi honor y patriotismo son el arma más letal. Loyalty, Strength and Courage, Military Discipline. I am a Mexican soldier, I am a jaguar warrior, I am an eagle knight ready to attack. My honor and patriotism are the deadliest weapon.
From somebody who lives in Texas, I live 10 min away from where Houston defeated Santana This movie was did bad at the box office, but My theater in Houston was full
To Catholics. He's a champion of Faith. To Americans he's evil tyrant. To French Monarches (Both Late Orleans and later Bonaparte), I'm not sure if they find any use of him or which factions did he support or he was well out of way.
I would rather call this battle a seige since Santa Ana waited 12 days before launching a full scale assault. Interestingly he too was waiting for Houston to arrive for an epic battle.
Plus he was waiting for additional troops to arrive and many of his senior officers hoped the Texans would run out of supplies and surrender or their heavy artillery would arrive allowing them to take the fort with minimal causalties
There is a place in Texas called: Washington-on-the-Brazos. It is where the national government of Texas was formed and the Declaration of Independence written and signed. It is on the Brazos River, beautiful and has the best Texas history museum EVAR.
Sam Houston signed the Declaration and went to organize an army. Then the prosperous gentlemen wrote a Constitution favoring slavery. And departed on the Runaway Scrape after they learned the fates of the ragged bands at the Alamo and Goliad.
@@yellystrikexxx2444 actually, Santa Anna gave it up in exchange for his life, and there is a treaty for it. Some years later, the U.S. bought it from Mexico. You can blame the Mexican politicians and that dictator, Santa Anna.
What in the hell are the non movie subtitles? MOV, LCC, and all the weird names for Crockett, Bowie, Travis, Santa Anna, etc. Fill me in, so I can laugh as well. P.S. Billy Bob Thornton plays Davy Crockett perfectly. I loved his acting and his character in this movie, and in my opinion this version is way better than the one with John Wayne (circa 1960). I love the part where Crockett plays the fiddle on the roof...great scene. As you may have guessed, I'm a Texan. The Alamo was a turning point in our state's history. Contrary to popular belief, Mexicans have been and always will be an integral part of Texas (thank God). Many Mexicans died defending the Alamo, and many more died in the war with Mexico. They fought and died as Texans for independence from Mexico. Texas has always been made up of people from other origins. Many fled their homelands to escape injustice, inequality, famine, poverty, trouble with the law, and simply because of a deep desire to make a place for themselves in this beautiful state. Some accuse Texans as being arrogant, uneducated, and crude people. I say we are just proud of our heritage and maybe a little rough around the edges, and one can find uneducated people in every state. We have our share of morons and our share of scholars. If you've never been to my wonderful state, please come and visit. Form your own opinion, and I'm almost certain you will enjoy yourself. As always..."Remember the Alamo!" Sorry, I just had to throw that in there...
Ahh, Men Of Valour and Lounge Chair Carnage are 2 australian groups of players who play mount and blade warband napoleonic wars, both groups are compromised of many regiments, and each regiment is compromised of many players, in this video you will notice names and all that which are the names of regiments and players that belong to said regiments.
Ok, thanks. They do battle reenactments? I was so confused, but thanks for answering me. I'm sure others will be happy with your explanation as well. I'll be going to San Antonio in a week, and I'm sure we will be dropping by the Alamo. It's a right of passage for all Texans...I guess.

Sí eran muy elaborados, muchos de ellos eran copias de uniformes Españoles, la tropa en cambio tenía pequeñas modificaciones como los Escudos, pompones y escarapelas con los Colores y símbolos Mexicanos.
@@pablojn4826 En realidad eran uniformes de estilo Napoleonico. Los uniformes militares del ejercito de Santa Anna estaban hechos a semejanza del Grande Armee. Después de las campañas Napoleonicas, la moda militar Francesa se hizo muy popular en toda Europa y America, siendo adoptada por el presidente Antonio López de Santa Anna.
@@eduardorocha8809 muy cierto, creo que para ese entonces los Estados Unidos ya estaban por adoptar el uniforme que usarían en la futura guerra contra México en 1847-1848.
Básicamente los gringos esclavistas querían separar Texas de México para anexarlo a Estados Unidos y nosostros los mexicanos no lo íbamos a permitir así que decidimos ir a por ellos la película es solo propaganda alejada de la realidad para idólatrar a unos invasores según fuentes de la época solo se enfrentaron 800 texanos contra 1500 mexicanos Stephen Austin no murió luchando fue capturado al final de la batalla y hasta rogo que Santa Anna le perdonara la vida David croket murió fusilado y Daniel Boone murió en su cama sin luchar ya que en ese tiempo hacía calor y solo se ejecutó a los combatientes a las mujeres y los niños se les perdonó la vida además después del combate se descubrió que en alamo había Miles de esclavos africanos en su interior
Dont forget . Another thing that the rebels were fighting was to keep slavery. Remember in Mexico Blacks were not Slaves... Blacks fought against the Spain during the Mexico independence...
Don't forget Mexico had a caste system, also a patron/peon culture where the wealthy dominated the poor to the point of slavery. Also Texas was not the only province in Mexico that rebelled against Santa Anna, Zacatecas and Yucatan was two others that did and for the same reason, Santa Anna had abolished the Mexican Constitution of 1824, declaring himself dictator, closing the legislature and taxing provinces without their being represented, the same reason that the American colonies rebelled against Great Britain. But it's the norm now to make it all about race and being raaaaaaaaaacist.
Edmond Dantes You are right.. Santa Ana changed things that previous presidents before him did. Remember the 2nd Mexico President was Black Descendant. Remember once black reach texas they were free. But whites keep them as life server in order not to use the word slave...
HOW IRONIC ARE THE AMERICANS The Mexican Army, commanded by General Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna, was not so big or powerful, was rather small and with limited resources, the film wants to make Mexicans look bad, but in reality, the Mexican soldiers were only defending the integrity of the Mexican national territory, since Texas was a Mexican province, that did not have the right to become independent, Texas was being balkanized by the American immigrants to appropriate it, the Mexicans only went to defend the sovereignty of the national territory, in definition, Americans were illegal in Mexican territory. So the Americans, have no moral quality, to call the Mexicans illegal, when they were the first illegal in Mexican national territory. Ironias de la vida, los Estadounidenses eran inmigrantes ilegales en la provincia Mexicana de Texas, asi que los Estadounidenses, no tienen calidad moral, para tachar a los Mexicanos de ilegales, cuando fueron ellos los primeros ilegales en territorio nacional Mexicano.
The gringos won by the lack of weapons and ammunition of the Mexican country, a clear example of superiority in fighting spirit is the St. Patrick's battalion, Irish heroes
The good guys are actually the Mexican 🇲🇽 soldiers as they defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, and the bad guys are the illegal US-American 🇺🇲 immigrants as they balkanized the Mexican province of Texas.
There was reputed to have been a unit recruited from irish emigrants in New Orleans volunteering to aid their fellow Catholics in Mexico at the time -they are reputed to have had their own flag.
P.S. It was NOT over slavery. The Texas Revolution of 1935 was fought to defend The Constitution of Mexico, because Santa Anna threw it out and created a unitary executive government. That is a nice way of saying: dictatorship. Everybody lost the rights that they had under the Mexican Constitution, and we lost our parliament and courts. The Mexican state of Coahuilla joined with Tejas, and we fought the Mexican military, captured Santa Anna, and made him sign a treaty giving us Texas. The treaty recognized Texas as an independent nation. We had embassies in D.C., London, and Paris.

pepe amadeo 42 años tenia Santa Anna en esa batalla y vivió 40 años mas, obvio como todo poiticos y general, viven mucho porque no hacen nada, Santa Anna cuando se tuvo que enfrenta a Houston, en 18 minutos fue derrotado..., creo que ahi esta todo dicho, es mas, en El Álamo lo resistieron 13dias y no era un ejercito regular, asi que era obvio que al enfrentarse a un general en serio seria derrotado y tartado como la rata que era.
@@sabercomputacion eso ni fue una batalla, los agarrón dormido, el cobarde de Houston estuvo huyendo todo el tiempo para atraer a Santa Anna para que cruzará la frontera con USA y así crear una justificación de guerra para que los Estados Unidos le declaren la guerra a México y satisfacer su expansionismo
The reason this rebellion happened is because the Texan rebels had come from the USA where slavery was legal but in Mexico slavery was Illegal. they ended up giving the USA a reason to invade and annex large areas of Mexico illegally.
@James clark Yes they could have just taken all of Mexico but they didn't becouse they only wanted the Mexican land with very little Mexicans because they didn't want to share the USA with non whites.
Lol I guess we’ll just forget that Santa Anna was a dictator who circumvented the constitution but please continue with your “mean white people” narrative.
they werent thugs. Santa Anna was. those poor soldiers were lead by an evil man. Santa Anna later became the dictator of mexico.....11 different times.. im not even joking.
@@steelwitness current day Mexican Military forces are thugs. But even then while they were more professional, they still acted horribly. And yes that is mostly to blame on their leader of that time, but regardless people still have a choice, free will is a thing whether people believe it or not.
@@SobaOfPulaski yes but imagine its like 1836 and you're on your way to a fort and your general is telling you how "dangerous" and "savage" the men inside are. They knew no different they hadn't even met the men. The same could be said for the Americans. All they knew was an Army was coming and that they were gonna hold in place, no retreat.
@@SobaOfPulaski with that sense of logic let’s apply it to the Germans during the era of the 3rd reich. Most were conscripted and had no choice, while others risked their lives to defy and save their Jewish compatriots. It wasn’t free will but rather a moral issue and possibly the obligation of doing the right thing. Next time think carefully before posting an asinine comment like that son.
Thuggish Mexican army arose as a part of prolonged civil wars (And outsiders attempt to subdue national soverignity, first Bourbon Spain, Then France, and later the very Northern Neighbour, this later led to uneasy relationships as either 'friends and foes'). Back then they were orderly institutions superbly modelled after European Royal and Imperial Armies. They even had Cuirassiers and Lancers while Americans never developed such fancy cavalry beyond British-sytle Light Dragoons. Prolonged civil war and proliferations of repeating firearms (Made in the US of A) did eventually turned Mexican Army towards Wasteland Warlords rather than honorable Gentleman's Army it once was (Particularly with entire army fractured, and more thugs, outlaws, civilians, some foreigners (American outlaws who did cross borders to avoid capture), and other natives were added to the ranks of warring factions, beginning since Ben Juarez's rebellion. The Civil War (s) took several decades, Mexico only saw peace past 1920s (Probably with the Rise of America as a global power). I'm not sure if Americans did pacify fractured Mexico in '20s and ended their age of Civil Wars?

It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had Not any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes?

The musket had a simple ball projectile which, without rifling, was extremely in accurate. A shot musket would be even more inaccurate, as it’s just pellets firing from long range. Even if shotgun pellets did hit from that distance, they would just bounce off of them without a scratch.
@Trouser Schnauzer and in the United States the same children swing schools yelling long live the Alamo and police officers break the necks of African Americans ...
Around 1836, the Mexican 🇲🇽 province of Texas, was mainly inhabited by "illegal" US-American immigrants, but they took up arms against the Mexican government, when Mexico prohibited them from using slavery as a form of work, then the rebels had proposed to emancipate themselves from Mexico. To continue maintaining slavery, but General Santa Anna, then president of Mexico, did not allow them, Texas was Mexican territory, he had no right to separate. The president of Mexico defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, from the US-American pirates who balkanized Texas, Santa Anna's army was a poor army in resources and weapons, it was not like Hollywood that shows it as an overly powerful invading army, the Mexicans were in their territory, the invaders were the "US-Americans". So an armed conflict began between both parties that led to the secession of Texas. That's the truth, why don't they tell it?
The reason the Mexican 🇲🇽 province of Texas was balkanized was because the central Mexican government of General Santa Anna declared slavery illegal in Texas. (Mexico had abolished slavery since 1810). This did not please at all the US-American immigrants who wanted to keep slavery as a form of work. The Mexican soldiers who defended the territorial integrity of Mexico in the battle of the Alamo are actually the good guys from a badly told story.
They should make a sequel about the subsequent annexation of Texas and the Mexican American War.. Would love to see the actual action behind the Marine Corps "Halls of Montezuma"
Just a reminder, the Texans were fighting for the preservation of slavery in Texas as at the time it was part of Mexico and Mexico had recently abolished Slavery. 20 year’s later they would be fighting for the same thing.
You are correct sir you probably would have been against the war back in those days like most Americans were if it wasn't for Congress of the time pushing that agenda.
It’s really pathetic how Mexicans continue to cry over a piece of territory that was never really theirs and make up an alternative history surrounding it. Maybe you are just jealous over America being a first world country and Mexico being a third world sh!t hole. 🤔

Funny how pretty much every story about the battle of the Alamo forgets to mention that the Alamo was mexican land, the defenders were illegal mexican immigrants and were upset with the Mexican government for (among other things) limiting a number of freedoms they enjoyed in the US, like the ability to own slaves.
Texas was nearly uninhabited Mexican territory so they invited Americans to Settle there. They were mad about the many tyrannical laws set in place by the hated dictator Santa Anna. Also only 2 people at the Alamo owned slaves and most of the Texas founding fathers never had them. Disproving your last point.

But yeah the officer's corp was all nobleman and they were quite brave, they carried that European noblemen mindset of the day that you also saw in Napoleon' "Grande Arme" and the Prussian guard. Alot of peacocking in brilliant uniforms and fearlessness
Dang that is incredible history. Thank you for sharing!
That's one damn fine family heirloom, amigo!
Te felicito amigo. Santa Anna fue un gran patriota. Al igual que tus antepasados, defendieron la patria hasta donde fue posible.
The second Mexican who came out of the cottage fired his weapon but the flashpan malfunctioning caused it to just shoot sparks everywhere. That is where the phrase “flash in the pan” comes from.
Thank you! Excellent knowldge and sharing!
I thought cap-locks were standard by then. For those that don't know, a cap-lock is a type of action where the gun's hammer strikes a brass or copper cap containing a chemical that explodes when crushed. Before firing, the hammer is moved to half-cock and the cap is placed on a nipple. This nipple is hollow to allow the crushed cap to ignite the main charge in the barrel.
In contrast, the older flint lock had a hammer with replaceable flint attached to the end of it. Just like before, after loading the main charge and ball, the shooter would move the hammer containing the flint to half-cock, they would also flip up a cover over the priming pan, this is called a frizzen. The frizzen keeps the primer charge out of the elements. When the weapon is fired, the hammer strikes the closed frizzen covering the powder. The hammer striking the frizzen produces a burst of sparks. The sparks ignite the priming charge which ignites the main charge in the barrel through a small touch hole in the barrel.
@@twistedyogert caplocks had started around that time, but most of the defenders of the Alamo brought their own guns, and most, if not all, were flintlock muskets.
The depiction of Santa Anna is really accurate, he’s remembered as the worst dictator of México for several reasons.
más que Porfírio Díaz?
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002 way worst, the first 15 years of Porfirio where the best time for México, he’s the example for “You ether die a hero or live to become the villain”. Santa Ana was an a hole from the beginning, and lost all the northern territories.
El peor dictador fue Juárez, ese enano nos vendió al enemigo con tal de que esté reconociera su gobierno mediocre...
@@srjack5516 bueno, pero Santa Ana hizo mas pendejadas v:
Se reveló contra Iturbide, se reveló contra guerrero, se reveló con todos, fue presidente mas de 1 vez, algunos durando 1 año, venía y volvía... Tal vez sin Santa Ana México hubiera estado mejor.
@@RolLeoRM no creó ya qué Santana al igual que Guerrero y todos solo querían el poder, Santana era un dictador en todo sentido de la palabra, pero ni Santana fue tan traidor que Juárez al menos Santana hizo lo que hizo por qué lo capturaron, Juárez lo hizo solo para qué un gobierno lo reconociera. Eso en mi opinión es peor...

@@FireCatcherSATX I’m Canadian but I live in San Antonio.
San Antonio's downtown is a beautifully knit and historically mindful spot. Standing at the Main Plaza for example, there is a lively mood to the site. Waterfalls, music and food vendors as they have been for over a hundred years. Inside the Church of San Fernando at the plaza are the ashes of the Alamo dead, collected by Juan Seguin (also in the movie, the Tejano captain sent out by Travis and kept by Houston). There are numerous markers along the streets that mark historical sites and important places. It's stunning if you know your history well.
I love how the scene shows the power of cannons!

It's a pity this movie was shot down so hard. I believe that it is so far the first - and only - one to give the most realistic account of the Alamo battle and its aftermath.
Agreed
@Zachlovescats95 lol it was a historically accurate depiction, the Texans kicked absolute ass at San Jacinto and wiped out the Mexicans in eighteen minutes
@Zachlovescats95 I never said they didn't but they whooped your heroes' asses
@@leetheflea4096They should make a sequel about the subsequent Texas joining the USA and the Mexican American War....we really kicked their butts.
Would love to see the actual action behind the Marine Corps "Halls of Montezuma"
Amen brother, I love this flick and am still watching it in 10/24 for its authenticity 👍🇺🇸
The Actor the chose for Santa Anna looks like he should be playing him at a much later point in his life, as during this war he was still rather young, I'd dare say late 20s to early early 30s. I say this only because I know he wrote a manifesto in Veracruz in which he talked about his achievements thus far and contributions towards Mexico as well as his take on his crushing defeat at the hands of the rebel Texicanos led by Sam Houston, he wrote this when he was 35. This would also be around the time he would lose his leg and have it buried with full military honors lol.
@Jamie Jones if that's true, then there is cause to believe that Dave Crockett was allowed to live after the Alamo. With him being such a hero of the American frontier and also a free Mason, I can't see Santa Anna being given such treatment without him providing the same to Crockett, but I guess we'll never truly no...
Santa Anna was 42, I think. The actor was in his fifties at this point.
Yes. Otherwise this film is pretty accurate but I thought he looked too old.
I also wonder at his ornate uniform. Joe, enslaved body servant of Travis, was a major witness to the battle and aftermath. He said Santa Anna looked,like a Methodist preacher.
FOR ALL: The subtitles are from a game called Mount and Blade Warband Napoleonic Wars. These two groups were in the oceanic part of the community. The MOV controller most of the Oceanic community and LCC stood against them. So the titles for the regiments are for the groups that are in the game. Long story short that is what all the subtitles are from.
I recall this
This was a small War. However, it's crazy to think that an independent country with almost no population managed to beat up what was a national standing army. The War was one by close to a 1,000 men, and Santa Anna's strength in Texas was around 6,000 troops. The Texas forces were a hodgepodge of men from different states... and it was really formed on the fly.
Honestly when I think about it. Its incredible for some ranch farmers to beat a Mexican army. But remember majority of Santa Anna's army was actually raw recruits, criminals, and even sometimes prisoners. Which if you think about it I doubt they are too determined to win unlike the Texans they were fighting for there lives and lands.
@@Si-sg7vc but weren't most hardened from his time in the south of Mexico crushing rebbelions.
Some Mexican states rebelled againt Santa Anna, too. There had also been "incidents" since the mid-1820s between Mexican federal authority and the Texians/Tejanos.
It started as the Texas-Coahuila rebellion.
You have a point, there.
A bit amazing, for sure.
Honestly in my opinion, Billy Bob Thornton's best acting performance. His Crockett is better than John Wayne's.
John Wayne played the legend.
Thornton played the actual man behind the legend.
Billy Bob Thornton played the best David Crockett EVER!
Dude, completely agree! My grandma took me to the Alamo when I was about 10 in 2003 on a trip from California to Texas...I wouldn't be such a history buff if that never took place, that shit really affected me! But yeah, Billy Bob looks JUST like Davy in his portrait. Absolutely rocked the fucking boat in the movie as Crockett!!!
It was a good one but I still think John Wayne portrayed him better. But the Patrick Wilson is definitely a better Travis
I like Fess Parker's portrayal quite a bit
I agree. Wayne and Parker were great actors, but their depictions were not authentic. Thornton's was. 👍

I would rather call this battle a seige since Santa Ana waited 12 days before launching a full scale assault. Interestingly he too was waiting for Houston to arrive for an epic battle.
Plus he was waiting for additional troops to arrive and many of his senior officers hoped the Texans would run out of supplies and surrender or their heavy artillery would arrive allowing them to take the fort with minimal causalties
It would make sense for Bowie to know Spanish. He was a Catholic US immigrant and he had a Mexican wife until she died during a Cholera epidemic.
There is a place in Texas called: Washington-on-the-Brazos. It is where the national government of Texas was formed and the Declaration of Independence written and signed. It is on the Brazos River, beautiful and has the best Texas history museum EVAR.

Then the prosperous gentlemen wrote a Constitution favoring slavery. And departed on the Runaway Scrape after they learned the fates of the ragged bands at the Alamo and Goliad.

I love the part where Crockett plays the fiddle on the roof...great scene. As you may have guessed, I'm a Texan. The Alamo was a turning point in our state's history. Contrary to popular belief, Mexicans have been and always will be an integral part of Texas (thank God). Many Mexicans died defending the Alamo, and many more died in the war with Mexico. They fought and died as Texans for independence from Mexico. Texas has always been made up of people from other origins. Many fled their homelands to escape injustice, inequality, famine, poverty, trouble with the law, and simply because of a deep desire to make a place for themselves in this beautiful state. Some accuse Texans as being arrogant, uneducated, and crude people. I say we are just proud of our heritage and maybe a little rough around the edges, and one can find uneducated people in every state. We have our share of morons and our share of scholars. If you've never been to my wonderful state, please come and visit. Form your own opinion, and I'm almost certain you will enjoy yourself. As always..."Remember the Alamo!"

Travis: "It's called Dueguello."

Travis: "Duegello means "Slit throat.'"

Dont forget . Another thing that the rebels were fighting was to keep slavery. Remember in Mexico Blacks were not Slaves... Blacks fought against the Spain during the Mexico independence...
You forgot to use the word "some." SOME of the rebels were fighting to keep slavery. Very few of them had slaves.
You Also forget that Santa Anna was a Tyrant
Don't forget Mexico had a caste system, also a patron/peon culture where the wealthy dominated the poor to the point of slavery.
Also Texas was not the only province in Mexico that rebelled against Santa Anna, Zacatecas and Yucatan was two others that did and for the same reason, Santa Anna had abolished the Mexican Constitution of 1824, declaring himself dictator, closing the legislature and taxing provinces without their being represented, the same reason that the American colonies rebelled against Great Britain.
But it's the norm now to make it all about race and being raaaaaaaaaacist.
Edmond Dantes You are right.. Santa Ana changed things that previous presidents before him did. Remember the 2nd Mexico President was Black Descendant. Remember once black reach texas they were free. But whites keep them as life server in order not to use the word slave...
HOW IRONIC ARE THE AMERICANS
The Mexican Army, commanded by General Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna, was not so big or powerful, was rather small and with limited resources, the film wants to make Mexicans look bad, but in reality, the Mexican soldiers were only defending the integrity of the Mexican national territory, since Texas was a Mexican province, that did not have the right to become independent, Texas was being balkanized by the American immigrants to appropriate it, the Mexicans only went to defend the sovereignty of the national territory, in definition, Americans were illegal in Mexican territory.
So the Americans, have no moral quality, to call the Mexicans illegal, when they were the first illegal in Mexican national territory.
Ironias de la vida, los Estadounidenses eran inmigrantes ilegales en la provincia Mexicana de Texas, asi que los Estadounidenses, no tienen calidad moral, para tachar a los Mexicanos de ilegales, cuando fueron ellos los primeros ilegales en territorio nacional Mexicano.
The gringos won by the lack of weapons and ammunition of the Mexican country, a clear example of superiority in fighting spirit is the St. Patrick's battalion, Irish heroes
@KZ A yeah. The American Civil War was an example. Only if they did the Rebel yell in the Texas revolution.
@KZ A it's not meant to be offensive towards you.
Different war. This is the Texan War of Independence, the Batallón San Patricio is from the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.
The good guys are actually the Mexican 🇲🇽 soldiers as they defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, and the bad guys are the illegal US-American 🇺🇲 immigrants as they balkanized the Mexican province of Texas.
There was reputed to have been a unit recruited from irish emigrants in New Orleans volunteering to aid their fellow Catholics in Mexico at the time -they are reputed to have had their own flag.

P.S. It was NOT over slavery. The Texas Revolution of 1935 was fought to
defend The Constitution of Mexico, because Santa Anna threw it out and
created a unitary executive government. That is a nice way of saying:
dictatorship. Everybody lost the rights that they had under the Mexican
Constitution, and we lost our parliament and courts. The Mexican state
of Coahuilla joined with Tejas, and we fought the Mexican military,
captured Santa Anna, and made him sign a treaty giving us Texas. The
treaty recognized Texas as an independent nation. We had embassies in
D.C., London, and Paris.

Thuggish Mexican army arose as a part of prolonged civil wars (And outsiders attempt to subdue national soverignity, first Bourbon Spain, Then France, and later the very Northern Neighbour, this later led to uneasy relationships as either 'friends and foes'). Back then they were orderly institutions superbly modelled after European Royal and Imperial Armies. They even had Cuirassiers and Lancers while Americans never developed such fancy cavalry beyond British-sytle Light Dragoons. Prolonged civil war and proliferations of repeating firearms (Made in the US of A) did eventually turned Mexican Army towards Wasteland Warlords rather than honorable Gentleman's Army it once was (Particularly with entire army fractured, and more thugs, outlaws, civilians, some foreigners (American outlaws who did cross borders to avoid capture), and other natives were added to the ranks of warring factions, beginning since Ben Juarez's rebellion. The Civil War (s) took several decades, Mexico only saw peace past 1920s (Probably with the Rise of America as a global power). I'm not sure if Americans did pacify fractured Mexico in '20s and ended their age of Civil Wars?

Studiosmediamilk The reason that the Texan settlers fought against santa anna was that he tore up the constitution that drove the settlers to mexico to begin with.
I’m from Texas and I’m glad we won our independence
HOW IRONIC ARE THE US-AMERICANS
The Mexican Army, commanded by General Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna, was not so big or powerful, was rather small and with limited resources, the film wants to make Mexicans look bad, but in reality, the Mexican soldiers were only defending the integrity of the Mexican national territory, since Texas was a Mexican province, that did not have the right to become independent, Texas was being balkanized by the US-American immigrants to appropriate it, the Mexicans only went to defend the sovereignty of the national territory, in definition, Americans were illegal in Mexican territory.
So the US-Americans, have no moral quality, to call the Mexicans illegal, when they were the first illegal in Mexican national territory.
Ironias de la vida, los Estadounidenses eran inmigrantes ilegales en la provincia Mexicana de Texas, asi que los Estadounidenses, no tienen calidad moral, para tachar a los Mexicanos de ilegales, cuando fueron ellos los primeros ilegales en territorio nacional Mexicano.
@@daiIyclipz By your last names I can guess that your parents are Mexican, if you had lived in the days of independent Texas they would have possibly hanged you because your parents were not white Texas was turned into a whites-only slave republic
And to this day, racism still continues in the USA and Texas, something they fought for is not easily forgotten, but Chicanos without knowing the history support all that hahaha
Ah yes! Tennessee and Texas bound together forever in friendship and mutual respect for nigh on 200 years.
It is difficult understand how Mr. Davy Crockett can be considered an "American Hero"... Well, may be cuz curiously, it turns out that ALL US Heroes are Criminals. (Is a Verifiable Fact that ALL US Heroes are "Bandits". Is a sad truth: Our country, the US, is a world military and economic power, but nevertheless, no US Citizen can be proud of this, cuz our Empire is the product of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, Murder of Word Leaders, the Opium and Cocaine Trafficking. And the Weakness of other sovereign nations. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies). Okay: Mr. Crockett was a Fur Trapper, Mercenary, Looter and Slaver. He was involved in the Dispossession, Robbery and Murder of the Native Nations of America. Particularly with the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek, and Seminole Peoples. And it is precisely here that Mr. Crockett gains notoriety with his abuses. The Myth that Mr. Davy Crockett confronted Mr. Andrew Jackson for his "Intentions to take away territories from the Native Americans to concentrate them in Oklahoma", are False. Mr. Davy Crockett did NOT argue with Mr. Jackson. Quite the opposite. He supported him and the "Emigration" was carried out. Mr. Davy Crockett was a Barely Educated Fortune Seeker Adventurer who went all the way to Texas to Rob Property (as he had Not any real property of his own). In fact, all those who died at The Alamo were Pirates and Assassins. Mr. James "Jim" Bowie, for example, was a Mercenary who fled from southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, cuz the Law wanted him for a double murder. Mr. William Barret Travis, Mercenary, Slaver and Thief. Him, one day and without further ado, abandoned his pregnant wife; to his son and unborn daughter, to: "Start all over again, in Texas." He was also fleeing from the Law. Finally: Who died in The Alamo fought for the Independence of Texas? Independence? NOT! None of those who died at the Battle of The Alamo were originally from Texas. NO ONE! They were all newcomers. They were all from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, from Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But not from Texas. All came to Texas cuz were promised 4,600 acres as soon as they won their war. Therefore, they were Pirates. For this to be understood, we make a comparison. Question: Is it Fair and Legal, that the Russians have declared the "Independence" of Donbas? Not! The Russians of Donbas can NOT declare "Independence" cuz they are NOT Ukrainians... They are Russians! Now: Is it Fair and Legal for Mr. Putin to Recognize and Annex the Donbas to Russia? Not! That's a Robbery. Well, this is exactly the same as what happened with Texas. The territory of Texas belonged to Mexico, and there was NO reason nor "Casus Belli" for citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Carolina, etc. claim Territorial Rights. So which Independence? Why here, in US, the Pirates are Heroes?
EVERYONE THAT KEEPS ASKING WHAT IS MOV AND ALL THAT SHIT THAT ISN’T APART OF THE MOVIE. ITS A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA THAT PLAY MOUNT AND BLADE WARBAND : NAPOLEONIC WARS.

Malditos.inbasares

Hard to believe a bunch of eighth graders made this film! Good job fellas.
Those were french-influenced uniform and hat.
Santa Ana was called " Mexico's
Napoleon"
I know the musket was a shot weapon but not a single hit?
The musket had a simple ball projectile which, without rifling, was extremely in accurate.
A shot musket would be even more inaccurate, as it’s just pellets firing from long range. Even if shotgun pellets did hit from that distance, they would just bounce off of them without a scratch.
Wish Mexico has such a grand army now
@Trouser Schnauzer you're obviously a clueless fat anglo foreigner. The army kicks the cartels ass everyday and i live in Mexico hahaha
@Trouser Schnauzer and in the United States the same children swing schools yelling long live the Alamo and police officers break the necks of African Americans ...
Maybe if you count the cartels lmfao
where is part 2?
Around 1836, the Mexican 🇲🇽 province of Texas, was mainly inhabited by "illegal" US-American immigrants, but they took up arms against the Mexican government, when Mexico prohibited them from using slavery as a form of work, then the rebels had proposed to emancipate themselves from Mexico.
To continue maintaining slavery, but General Santa Anna, then president of Mexico, did not allow them, Texas was Mexican territory, he had no right to separate.
The president of Mexico defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, from the US-American pirates who balkanized Texas, Santa Anna's army was a poor army in resources and weapons, it was not like Hollywood that shows it as an overly powerful invading army, the Mexicans were in their territory, the invaders were the "US-Americans".
So an armed conflict began between both parties that led to the secession of Texas.
That's the truth, why don't they tell it?
The reason the Mexican 🇲🇽 province of Texas was balkanized was because the central Mexican government of General Santa Anna declared slavery illegal in Texas.
(Mexico had abolished slavery since 1810).
This did not please at all the US-American immigrants who wanted to keep slavery as a form of work. The Mexican soldiers who defended the territorial integrity of Mexico in the battle of the Alamo are actually the good guys from a badly told story.
EU RENATO GOSTARIA MUITO DE ACISTIR ESSE FILME COMPLETO DUBLADO, MUITO OBRIGADO 👍
Ahh yes military precision at its finest all the commands and formations are correctly reacted
Eddie Montañez for which? The Mexican army or the Alamo?
Mexican
I wish more historical films used more accurate drills. Instead of silly stomping chest high marching making the extras look unprofessional.
So where's part 2?
They should make a sequel about the subsequent annexation of Texas and the Mexican American War..
Would love to see the actual action behind the Marine Corps "Halls of Montezuma"
Game admin: I SAID DON'T FIRE JOSE!!!!!!!!!!
Just a reminder, the Texans were fighting for the preservation of slavery in Texas as at the time it was part of Mexico and Mexico had recently abolished Slavery. 20 year’s later they would be fighting for the same thing.
You are correct sir you probably would have been against the war back in those days like most Americans were if it wasn't for Congress of the time pushing that agenda.
Based Texas
It’s really pathetic how Mexicans continue to cry over a piece of territory that was never really theirs and make up an alternative history surrounding it. Maybe you are just jealous over America being a first world country and Mexico being a third world sh!t hole. 🤔
@@goodstuff8156 they was nothing but ingrate treacherous slavers those fillibusting seceshs, but the past is the past, and most Texans are now some of the most decent and honest people you can ever meet.
@@goodstuff8156 cope harder, cada vez los mexicanos somos mas en texas, y estamos expulsando a los anglosajones anglo-parlantes 🤠
If SA had actually respect for his country, (or whatever it was at the time), he wouldn’t be killing the citizens who refused to go to war... think about it though...
As a mexican , you're right 👌😪
whats up witch the white subtitles?
What's up with the random texts in the video?
What kind of cavalry unit is that at 2:16?
Funny how pretty much every story about the battle of the Alamo forgets to mention that the Alamo was mexican land, the defenders were illegal mexican immigrants and were upset with the Mexican government for (among other things) limiting a number of freedoms they enjoyed in the US, like the ability to own slaves.
Texas was nearly uninhabited Mexican territory so they invited Americans to Settle there. They were mad about the many tyrannical laws set in place by the hated dictator Santa Anna. Also only 2 people at the Alamo owned slaves and most of the Texas founding fathers never had them. Disproving your last point.
@@richardroberson2564 mexicans number a few but the fact their was still some population of mexicans in texas, also our native American ancestors lived here for a thousand years before yours came from Ireland.
@@kinglisco1379 They were both outnumbered by whites at this point though. Also what was considered "Texas" was a smaller area of land.
