What did the Alamo have to do with America being free?
The Texas Rebellion had nothing to do with the US. The Alamo is a very inspiring battle but it had nothing to with protecting America.

One could, if they wanted to ignore all the Mexicans supporting Texas independence , argue that in fact, the Alamo was Americans fomenting rebellion in Mexico.
Except for the Tennesseeans, those were Mexican Citizens (as was Sam Houston) fighting for their independence.

The Mexican soldiers refered to them as "Americans".

It certainly was their nativity, but to settle in Tejas one had to accept Mexican citizenship and convert to the Catholic church.

I watched a lot of documentaries on the Alamo and never heard about people having to convert to the Catholic Church. Being Catholic myself, I know Mexicans in the US sure avoid it. Why the Catholic Church defends those hypocrites is beyond me.

It had very little to do with the Alamo fight. They were required for all settlers under the empresario program. Sam Houston was baptised a Catholic in East Texas soon after arriving in Texas.
