@ashleytheebarroness: I thought I knew the story of the Alamo. Turns out I knew thirteen days… …out of a story that spans decades. History gets really interesting when you move the starting line. Video footage courtesy of PBS, used for commentary and educational purposes. #alamo #mexicanhistory #americanhistory #historytok #fyp
I’ve lived in San Antonio for 16 yrs and I learned the real Alamo history 5 yrs ago. Locals get sooo mad when I speak the truth…

Thank you for this. As a Mexican American I had to learn this in college because TX high schools don’t teach this. We also suffered La Matanza of 1910-1920 where Texas rangers lynched any Mexican they found. If you’re brown and you support Republicans, it’s because you don’t know the history of the color of your skin

Figures that Mexico would have a black president a century before the 🇺🇸, it also had the 1st woman President and the US still pretends to be first world🤣🤣🤣

the only thing that matters about the Alamo is that Texans celebrate a defeat. what happened before and what happened after is irrelevant to the fact that the Alamo was a defeat. the Mexican army defeated the American colonizers.

I teach Texas history. All of this is correct, and I DO teach all this info in class. My students know about the role of slavery in the Texas Revolution. I will say there is a lot of nuance that is hard to put into short-form content, but you did a great job summarizing.

Remember that we are looking at history through 21st century eyes. World history is full of these sad stories. Slavery has a long long history.

I have lived in TX since 5th grade. My TX History class in 7th grade taught by a coach SURE didn’t tell the story this way. Thanks for sharing the un-whitewashed rest of the story 💙

That's the first time I've heard the truth about the Alamo. It seems it wasn't taught here in the UK either. At least not when I was at school, or, for that matter when my kids and grandkids were at school either. Thank you for putting things right

I have come to understand that “Americans” are rarely the good guys in any of the true history lessons are taught.

In the 80’s in Texas I spoke up about a lot of this in Texas history class. 5 days in school suspension and told to shut my damned mouth by my teacher. Truth . Love your posts. You are ridiculously smart.
