I saw the movie about Davey Crockett in the fifties. I have been fascinated by the Alamo since then. I finally got to see it during leave time from Air Force Basic training in 1968. The bus dropped us off right in front of it. I didn't recognize it. I was expecting to see a building surrounded by sand and scrub brush. But it was in the middle of the city. It was awe inspiring to finally be standing in front of the place where Davey Crockett died. We saw the inside of the Chapel and the artifacts there. It was a solemn and quiet experience. I'll never forget it.
I’m born and raised in Houston Texas and I know exactly what you mean. That Man from Tennessee along with James Bowie were my Idols growing up. I feel so inspired every time I go to the Alamo.
Mexicans did not want slavery US Americans at the time did want slavery. Slavery back then was big money 💰 that’s why most country folk that have 50+ acres were plantation owners which equals slavery for Americans at the time
Santa Anna was not at Gonzales demanding return of the cannon. Col. Ugartechea was in command of the Mexican troops there. True, the colonel was under orders from Santa Anna, but Santa Anna was not present at Gonzales, as he was at San Antonio. Also, what most people refer to as the Alamo is actually the mission's church. The Alamo was the entire compound with walls around it.
Hi! I just passed the California Bar exam that I took in Feb. 2018. I want to thank you for all you constitutional law videos they were really helpful! I think you were one of the reasons I passed. Only 27 percent of people who took the exam passed. Thank you!
Let me fix this. Lesson #1 never be nice to people and let them in your country then have them try to become the new land owners. American Bullys is what this video should be named. But then Americans cry like little bitches when Mexicans cross over to their original land. Just a bunch of American Christian HYPOCRITES
@@bagochems2594 Mexican are descendants of Spaniards AKA White people. If Mexican history doesn't include the stolen land and murders of countless Native's then they are white-washing as much as the Americans.
William Barrett Travis was commander of the Alamo. Neill left the Alamo on February 11, 1836 and transferred command to Travis. The battle began just 12 days later.
This guy made it seem like the entire battle was fought at the chapel which is false. Most people don’t realize that the Alamo was on a open field of walls and long barracks. Most of the original structures are long gone today. Should’ve been more clearer and concise about the actual battle and surrounding areas.
Hip gave a quick version which he could have gotten from a public school history book bought from the lowest bidder. The title had one to believe that it would have more details about the battle and not about San Jacinto, the Republic and state. I excuse the mispronounced words as I know he is not from here but some authentic terms could have slightly improved his delivery.
@@petrstanovsky7648 I found out who is standing behind Trump and who is controlling it all. He is controlled opposition and we will have to save ourselves.
@Wales Eakes You are replying to a very old post. Trump is irrelevant now, the global revolution against the Deep State and their Globalist masters is being driven by the resistance to forced "vaccinations". He may become relevant in the US again when the election fraud is uncovered, but many have lost all faith in him, mainly because he looks very much like controlled opposition. Trump's support for "vaccination" has disqualified him as genuine in the eyes of most of us..
It was David Crockett, he hated Davey and never went by it. Texans fought for land. If you check you will find the 30 or 40,000 American settlers there only had a total of 2 or 3,000 slaves total. It was not about slavery it was all about a fresh start and LAND. Land was wealth, independence and freedom. Crockett was the best friend the Indians ever had as he opposed Democrat President Andrew Johnson, who order the forcible removal and relocation of Indian tribes. Please see Trail of Tears. Johnson politically destroyed David Crockett, who at age 49, was forced to try for a new start in what would become Texas. The Alamo defenders were there for a fresh start and land. Where did it come from that they were almost out of ammo, they were not firing for 13 days. The Mexicans insisted everyone become Catholic for starts. 500 more men were a mere 90 miles away for reinforcements. The Alamo defenders expected to be saved.
FINALLY! So glad you're back. Hope things have improved ;). Love me some summer time history. I actually have time for it. No physics / calc during the summer.
Woot! Another video! I know thing might be busy on your end but I miss the regular videos. Seriously, as an educator its a treat whenever you make a new video.
You forgot the part where they all knew they were going to die cause they were vastly outnumbered but stayed to fight anyway so Houston could capture a Mexican weapons cache giving them the weapons they needed to win the battle of San Jacinto, 200 men held up 2000 for 13 days! also the Mexican government didn't have a liberal immigration policy , they wanted the apache Indians cleared out of that territory but didn't want to fight them themselves so they offered free land to anyone who would "deal with the problem" so to speak, Lastly we have an annual Masonic ceremony at the alamo every March 6th , it's quite the sight to see , y'all come on down.
My 7th grade Texas History-7 1994-1995 teacher told me to forget the Alamo she told me the Alamo was not important to Texas History she told the rest of class to remember the Alamo for the test coming up what she wasn't aware of I already knew the Alamo in the 6th grade I spent my spare time in W HIST -6 studying this battle and the Texas war for independence I passed the test in TX HIST-7 with a 95 I got 5 points deducted because I forgot to fill my name on the exam the test made her mad because I knew about the Alamo before everyone else did I had a sixth grade history teacher who loved to poke at the subject of the Alamo when I say poke I mean he like to go on and on about it
I don't understand the references on tv shows and movies. Like on TWD when Daryl Dixon says "remember the alamo?", and they immediately picked up the dead guy to shove him out the door and sacrificed his body to distract the walkers so they could get away. Every one immediately knew what he was suggesting, but I never understood why. I've heard it referenced in different ways, but it never made much sense.
Hi there! Given this great video and your great elections series, I was wondering if you might ever do any videos about the (few) Presidential elections of the Republic of Texas? Am asking because of the person who inquired about the CSA Presidential election. #nerddom
Plus, should love one of these videos about the Mexican-American War; I’m certainly interested in Mexican history and researching why it was so difficult for their government to be stable for 40 years. Funnily enough, I just read the Mexican newspaper that covered the capture of the Alamo. It was like in the middle of the manifests of cargoes being imported into Veracruz. And yep, seeing 1836 newspapers praising “the great general and honor to his country Santa Anna” is certainly surreal given how much he is reviled today.
Could you please do another video on Obamacare? It would be really great if you could shows the origin of the program from the heritage foundation and Mitt Romney.
Santa Anna had more than 1500 troops with him when his forces took the Alamo,1500 was the size of the attacking force Santa Anna used to take the Also,
The battle of the Alamo was fought in the Republic of Mexico in the Mexican state of Tejas. Mexico was trying to free the slaves from the southerner who wanted slavery in Tejas. Mexico knew slavery was inhumane and was fighting to end slavery. The terrorist won and slavery continued, but Mexico is proud to say it didn't continue in Tejas, it now was legal in the New Republic of Texas to own another human being.
Always retreat when outnumbered,those soldiers could have helped fannin or Houston.my farther had to retreat at the battle of the bulge. But he lived and made a comeback😊
The Alamo was not a missionary, it was a mission. The people who lived there trying to convert Indians were missionaries. Sorry to be pedantic, imagination runs wild, lol.
Mexicans welcomed the pilgrims to fight their native american enemies for them When the pilgrims prospered the mexican began punishing them. The pilgrims were not greedy, they wanted to be split away from Coahuila and become their own Mexican state of Tejas. Plez check the facts more explicitly.

Travis was in command of Texican forces in the old mission. @ 3:29 -- The Mexican assaults were not "on this building." They were on the mission, which occupied over three acres surrounded by a wall. This "building" was the un-finished chapel inside the mission. It remains in San Antonio today, as well as some portions of the wall. @ 4:22 -- You said that Texas declared independence on March 3, 1836.

It’s important to mention that slavery played a big part in what was being fought for. American settlers brought their slaves with them and slavery was illegal in Mexico. 😮 They didn’t want to give up their slaves or be kicked off the land. Thanks for another great lesson!
