This is a great video with historic value. The artistic imagery, film clarity and background sound effects that you can actually hear make this a gem. Love it. Thank you.
Very well done. Surprisingly, I must not have been as stupid and bad a student as I thought I was when I was young. I actually recall some of this, when memories are triggered! But they are very dusty! (40 years old, too.)
Well and fairly done. But you forget the slaughter at Goliad. That loss of men was much more devastating than the Alamo. Texans shouted Remember Goliad as well as Remember the Alamo at San Jacinto. Still, well done!.
Great city! I should warn you that a lot of the effort in designing that museum was made drawing parallels between the US rev. War and the Texan one. That's not to say there aren't any- but they're pretty over the top! Looking forward to our discussion today.
It's not about making it better, ya numb-skull. It's recognizing that people are crossing over the border and regardless of our efforts to extricate them they keep coming back - so continually sending them back is at best a stop-gap solution - building a wall is itself asinine - we're left with some more options, we could actively invest in their home countries and help make them places that they wouldn't want to leave in the first place but that's pretty Globalist of us to do and I doubt certain elected representatives would be too keen with sending money abroad - so.... what are YOU suggesting we do? Don't make the mistake of thinking it's some effort to DRAW people to the US in order to.... do something intentional. The draw is purely unconscious on our part - as long as people believe they have no chance at a better life in their own countries, they will seek opportunities elsewhere. I'd LOVE to hear your well thought-out and nuanced proposal for the problem. lol
Also, it's sorta like when you cheat on your girl and because YOU'VE cheated you're now ten-times more paranoid that SHE'LL cheat on you. That's the vibe I'm getting here - because the US did it to them in the past a lot of people are paranoid something similar will happen.
Yes and no - it's true I don't want to do it, but not because of moral or ideological reasons. Purely practical - first of all, it wouldn't stop illegal immigration. There's the common saying "The solution to a 20-foot wall is a 21-foot ladder" and that doesn't even begin to delve into the issue of it, every time we've developed measures to stop illegal immigration they've thought up counter-measures. What about the tunnels that are already used to smuggle both people and drugs? How is a wall supposed to stop them? Walls have failed throughout history - they failed in China to keep the Mongols out. The even more elaborate set of walls and forts in the Roman Empire utterly failed to stop Barbarian incursions and eventually Rome was sacked - multiple times. Hadrian's wall was a boondoggle in and of itself, costly and for no positive benefit. That's one aspect of it - the fact it wouldn't work, but there's another, what about the cost? We know it wont be foolproof, but we DO know it will be costly, having to build in areas that are as remote as they are inhospitable and rugged. Not only that, but US citizens OWN some of that land. You're suggesting the Government deprive them of their land? Many of them have already refused to sell - and a lot of those people are Trump voted themselves. We're going to pull imminent domain on our citizens to build a costly wall that wont even fucking work? REALLY!? What about the illegal immigrants that don't hump it across the rio grande? What about the LARGE AMOUNT of the ones that come in on a work Visa or similar purpose and simply don't leave when it expires? In the age of the plane, the helicopter, the fucking hot-air balloon how is a wall an adequate answer? ALL OF THAT SAID - HOW DO WE PUNISH THEM!? They aren't our citizens, you're saying we put them in prison? Well congrats, then, dude - they're in the US, they're legitimized, and they get three hots and a cot in prison. So realistically you want to put them in prison? Which YOU AND I will end up paying for via taxes? How is that punishment? All we can realistically do - which is what we've already been doing for years - is deport them. So let me ask you, you speak tough about punishing them and they wont come here anymore - how? What form will that punishment take?
Seriously, though - have you really considered that there are only two ways to 'punish' them like you say? Put them in prison - or deport them. With the former they are officially in America - and they get three hots and a cot - and our tax money pays for them. On the other - we do the exact some thing we been doin'.
What do you mean by "pain"? Be specific. When a child crosses the border - let's say, about 12 - 14 years old since that's been close to the average for kids crossing the border alone (It's actually been largely females and children crossing the border in recent years - not so much males - www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/jun/29/does-america-face-refugee-or-immigration-problem/ ) what specifically should we do to them in order to teach them not to, and then after we do that to them what do we do with them? Also, what's the crime we're talking about, here? You mean specifically crossing the border?
I live in San Antonio. There’s a huge project going on to re-establish the original Alamo. We’ll, at least that’s what they talk about doing… you know what THAT’s like.
This Episode of Story Time With Mr.Beat was excellent and will now help me better understand the Texas Revolution thank you for this episode Story Time With Mr.Beat! :)
I was excited to find this video thank you for making it my family can trace its history to one of the old 300 we are very proud to have this history in our family it's nice that you're getting that message out there.
To the winner goes the spoils. Some Americans wanted to take ALL of Mexico after winning the war. Alas, they were "nice" and only took the northern half.
good video, however was a little surprised there was no mention of Goliad, nor of General Urrea's campaign in the east. Nor anything about the runaway scrape.
1824 and before Mexico has law prohibiting “slaves”: Bravo 👏🏼 Illegal American immigrants! Sam Houston prez, Stephen Austin Vice 👍 Texas 28th state, but unfortunately entered as a “Slave” state, I suppose you’ve mentioned this in another post . Thanks again for a very informative and insightful post 👍 I’m glad I subscribed and will Patreon you, you are the real deal Mr Beat ☝️ you’re 7th graders are fortunate !
Very funny, kid. It happens that I like music and don't listen to it casually. In your Texas video - which I like and which I assume you took pride in producing - I'm faced with either listening to what you took time and effort to research, write, and present, or a mindless, continuous, repetitive loop of music that adds nothing to the story. One is a distraction to the other - Which would you prefer I pay attention to? Many people are exposed to background noise and music all day, and have learned to ignore it, and no doubt have no trouble ignoring it in this video. Therefore you have two responses to the music - Either it annoys your audience of they ignore it. So where's the benefit to using it?
I made this video a long time ago and yes, the music was a mistake. I have learned from my mistakes. My recent videos don't have this issue. Thanks for taking the time for the constructive criticism.
Good information and covers the main topics/ideas. If I have one suggestion it would be to back down on the music mix a bit and it might have just been my poor laptop speakers but it seemed as if the guitar was just slightly out of tune.
Bexar, not Bejar, and the full name of the town in those days was San Antonio de Bexar. Houston was not the first President of Texas, David G. Burnett was. You did not mention the Mexican losses at the Alamo. Long after the battle, a US Army doctor investigated the action and concluded that Mexican losses were about 600 killed and wounded. Many modern historians accept this figure without examining the facts themselves. In my opinion, 1200 is more likely. Either way, not too shabby for 183 men, none of whom could properly be called soldiers.
Goliad Massacre was Sunday March 27,1836 the men of Goliad met the same fate as the men of the Alamo did 3 weeks before Sunday March 6,1836 the runway scrap began March 31,1836 when Texans began fleeing the region Houston did not take action till April 21,1836 at San Jacinto when the main army of Texas defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto with remember the Alamo and Goliad
Found this searching for Texas Revolution videos for my 5 year old daughter. Looks like this one will be the easiest one to talk her into watching. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
1. What did Mexican Independence do for the people of Texas? 2. To settle in Mexico what did you have to agree to do? 3. How did Mexico treat Americans trying to settle in Texas illegally? can you please help
I understand this is to be simple to digest, but I feel like there are several key points missed and misunderstood... for one 1824 was skipped over, and Stephen F Austin's imprisonment wasn't the final straw, though it was very important. Most Texians and Tejanos favored a more republican kind of government, similar to the US. When General Lopez became a dictator, that stirred the pot much more. Additionally, the runaway scrape wasn't Texians freaking out, it was a conscious decision made my Sam Houston to burn Gonzales, and head East, forcing the residents of Gonzales to flee.Lastly, at the time, they weren't called Texans, but Texians. It's a good video, but I just think there is a few more things you could have added, as well as I didn't agree with the way you depicted the runway scrape.
México had people from Louisiana with permits living in Texas, Mexico. Under 2 conditions 1st being catholic and 2nd SLAVERY WAS ILLEGAL IN MÉXICO. The Unitedstatians (As the name America was already taken to name the continent) couldn't bare it and decided the land was theirs. The rest of the story was bla bla, bang bang, Liberty. Then USA kept arming narcos to weaken Mexico still today, either republican or democrats are the same. Greetings to everyone!!
Texas was again invaded by Santa Anna's forces, twice in 1842, and his army fought the Texans again in San Antonio at the Battle of Salado Creek. The Mexicans were defeated and fled back to Mexico, but, not before massacring Nicolas Dawson and his men who were coming to the battle, but, were intersected near the battle by some of the Mexican Army. The Texans pursued the Mexicans into Mexico following this battle in what became known as the Somerville Expedition, and ended with the Mier disaster in Mexico, where the Texans surrendered to the numerical superiority of the Mexican Army. and 17 men who drew a black bean from a jar, were executed, by the orders of Santa Anna, in reprisal for the invasion of Mexico by the Texans.
Loved this one. I have a feeling in the near Future or in another 4-16 Years Texas will succeed from the United States as they did from Mexico forming its own Country. Texas has an Economy so powerful they can become an Independent Nation as it has been growing from Democrat into Republican Solid State and that people like Hillary could make Texas go Democrat in 2016 or 2020 for President, Senator, Congress and Governor. If that happened Texas wouldn't be a Liberal State like California but it might be a Moderate Left Leaning State. I'm just saying People will move to Texas because of their freedom and jobs they have and most of them are from California, Illinois and the East Coast (mostly New York) and a lot of them are Democrats and will try to make Texas go Democrat. Texas is mostly likely going to want to succeed from America as they did to Mexico.
Yeah that was a glaring omission. The Texans had a Mexican flag with 1824 on it. They didn't want to rebel they wanted to go back to the 1824 constitution they signed up for.
You didn't really stress it that much, but it's worth remembering that the main law the settlers in Texas didn't want to obey was the slavery prohibition. The Texas war for independence was fought over slavery, mostly.
Pretty disappointed in this presentation, especially given the praise. Completely ignores Santa Anna's centralization of the government, taking away Texas's representation in the legislature (taxation without representation sound familiar?). Also ignores Santa Anna's propensity to massacre the opposition. Texans didn't just say "Remember the Alamo." They also said "Remember Goliad" where Santa Anna executed 300 men (a huge portion of the population by standards then). Instead, you choose to focus on some implied accusation of hypocrisy of people today opposing immigration from Mexico. Hardly the same, but it does reveal your political bias.
Mexico allowed immigration and demand immigrants to obey the law of the land. Instead of following local laws, immigrants got military and political resources from a foreign country that result on the annexation of that land to their country of origin. Before you get mad please change the word Mexico for US at the beginning of this comment and then write what ever you want to. I don't think Mexico have rights over Texas any more, people living there have developed rights over the land that can not be ignored or put a side due to events that happened almost 200 years ago. I just think that in order to better understand each other we must be objective and truthful about our history.
I love that groovy guitar that goes the whole video...this is why I watch your stuff high
Dang I haven’t heard the term “the old three hundred” in years
Same thing Texan brother the old 300
You forgot the massacre at Goliad that occurred
This is a great video with historic value. The artistic imagery, film clarity and background sound effects that you can actually hear make this a gem. Love it. Thank you.
Bang bang for the learning Mr. Beat, keep em comin'
Very well done. Surprisingly, I must not have been as stupid and bad a student as I thought I was when I was young. I actually recall some of this, when memories are triggered! But they are very dusty! (40 years old, too.)

@Student Derrick Wolford LOOOOOOOLLLLL
Well and fairly done. But you forget the slaughter at Goliad. That loss of men was much more devastating than the Alamo. Texans shouted Remember Goliad as well as Remember the Alamo at San Jacinto. Still, well done!.
Well, God remembers those who enslaved other human beings and there is the judgement for that at end time by our Lord Jesus Christ.
@@shenghan9385 reminder that only 3 percent of all Texians owned slaves. And that was not the purpose of the revolution.
@@shenghan9385God also remembers those who slaughtered the surrendered troops, piled them up, and burned them
Some funky music to go with your history kids!
Awesome video, way better than the text books. Explained it perfectly, thanks Mr. Beat! thumbs up
Thanks Dylan!
How did youtube never suggest this video to me before? Well done. If you're ever in Austin, check out the texas state history museum.
+Political Junkie News Yeah, this one really took off for some reason. Thanks! I hope to visit Austin soon, actually. I have friends down there.
Great city! I should warn you that a lot of the effort in designing that museum was made drawing parallels between the US rev. War and the Texan one.
That's not to say there aren't any- but they're pretty over the top!
Looking forward to our discussion today.
No surprise...after all, in Texas students learn Texas history for an entire year! Wait a sec, is that where you are originally from?
+Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel love social studies, teach some more!
Everywhere I go, I find you Political Junkie. I think the internet is saying we should collaborate.
Solid video! But, no Goliad Massacre?
Thank you so much. This helped me with my paper.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
I didn’t know Texas used to be an independent country
I learned all of this in Texas history class but it’s just so interesting
You forgot or glossed over the massacre of Gonzales and Remember Gonzales was another battle cry
You failed to mention the Goliad Massacre
Lol when I put captions on the vid it said sorry this is neat

The main reason why the Mexican American War began was due to a border dispute between Texas and Mexico, yes.

The 'J' is silent in San jacinto
that song was an annoying loop ngl
what about the tejanos?
As a Washingtonian, I disagree with Texas having the most interesting state history. I'm biased though.
Do you make all the music?
As a Texan, definitely good vid.
what about the Massacre at Goliad or thu Runaway Scrape?
Goliad Massacre was Sunday March 27,1836 the men of Goliad met the same fate as the men of the Alamo did 3 weeks before Sunday March 6,1836 the runway scrap began March 31,1836 when Texans began fleeing the region
Houston did not take action till April 21,1836 at San Jacinto when the main army of Texas defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto with remember the Alamo and Goliad

Does no on notice Santa Anna looks like a giraffe?

You didn't really stress it that much, but it's worth remembering that the main law the settlers in Texas didn't want to obey was the slavery prohibition. The Texas war for independence was fought over slavery, mostly.
Absolute false, please refrain from using easily debunked accusations. The civil was was however
Pretty disappointed in this presentation, especially given the praise. Completely ignores Santa Anna's centralization of the government, taking away Texas's representation in the legislature (taxation without representation sound familiar?). Also ignores Santa Anna's propensity to massacre the opposition. Texans didn't just say "Remember the Alamo." They also said "Remember Goliad" where Santa Anna executed 300 men (a huge portion of the population by standards then).
Instead, you choose to focus on some implied accusation of hypocrisy of people today opposing immigration from Mexico. Hardly the same, but it does reveal your political bias.
Mexico allowed immigration and demand immigrants to obey the law of the land. Instead of following local laws, immigrants got military and political resources from a foreign country that result on the annexation of that land to their country of origin.
Before you get mad please change the word Mexico for US at the beginning of this comment and then write what ever you want to.
I don't think Mexico have rights over Texas any more, people living there have developed rights over the land that can not be ignored or put a side due to events that happened almost 200 years ago. I just think that in order to better understand each other we must be objective and truthful about our history.
