Battle of San Jacinto & Texas Independance
I was just reading this interesting & well done
historical account of the events leading up to,
and the battle (nice map also), and results.
http://www.tamu.edu/faculty/ccbn/dewitt/batsanjacinto.htm
"SAN JACINTO, birthplace of Texas liberty! ... San Jacinto,
one of the world's decisive battles! . . . San Jacinto, where,
with cries of "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" Sam Houston
and his ragged band of 910 pioneers routed Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna,
President and Dictator of Mexico and self-styled "Napoleon of the West,"
with his proud army, and changed the map of North America!
Here is a story that has thrilled Texans for more than a century ... "
One part & thought that got my attention was:
"The actual battle of San Jacinto lasted less than twenty minutes,
but it was in the making for six years. It had its prelude in the oppressive
Mexican edict of April 6, 1830, prohibiting further emigration of
Anglo-Americans from the United States to Texas;"
Hmmm,,,, is one possible interpretation/warning of history,
that when a country has allowed easy immigration,
then tries to assert it's authority to control and stop it,
= that is a risky time?

that is how we did it in the first place ! Just about every Texian was a
wetback (Red River). Of course the politicians said that is was jsut that
every white woman in Texas had eleven children over the age of 18 between
1830 and 1836.

Yes, if you're obsessed with your hatred for immigrants, then you CAN
interpret it that way.
You would be wrong to do so - but that's the nature of bigotry.
