On March 2, 1836, while the 189-odd Texians, Tejanos, and European rebels (and a bunch from Tennessee, however you choose to classify them) were under Santa Anna’s brutal siege at the Alamo. Sam Houston, Lorenzo de Zavala, and other Texas leaders were holed up at Washington-on-the-Brazos.

As we hit the 185th anniversary of Texas Independence and the fall of the Alamo, then the rise of Texas, we have a problem. Some are revising the story to put slavery front and center, when it was not. It was an issue, but not the primary issue. The Texas State Historical Association’s chief historian wants us to forget the Alamo and view its defenders — and their supporters now — as racists. Walter Buenger, Ph.D. and TSHA chief historian, recently slammed the Alamo as an insignificant battle then and a monument to white supremacy now. The facts don’t support that at all.
COMMENT:
As the communist agitators continue efforts to erode the fabric of our history and society, we should continue to erode their ability to carry out their revolution.
Texas will emerge as an independent nation once again. I hope we make the declaration on March 2, 2022.
