The Alamo

[Tommy Tainant]

This film was one of John Waynes pet projects.Its no suprise that its histotically silly.
The war in Tezas was fought over slavery but this isnt mentioned. The progressuve Mexicans had already outlawed the evil practise . The evil texans wanted to keep it.

They would fight another war to keep slavery a few years later. Thank god they lost.
Its no wonder texas is such a mess today.
Its a great cast and no money has been spared on it. But as a historical drama it ranks way behind Disney
File under joke.

File under joke.

That's exactly where this false, misinformed thread should be filed. BTW, WTF is TEZAS. Accepted spellings include TEXAS and TEJAS, proper American English spelling would be TEXAS.

The flag that flew off the stern of slave ships for 200 years was mainly the Union Jack and the Brits enslaved every nationality from India to Ireland but the Brits would rather accuse Col. Travis, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett of racism rather than talk about their own sordid history. The war in Texas was fought over Texas.

The British have committed more atrocities in their long history than most anyone else besides maybe the early Chinese, Huns and Hitler. Maybe.

That some foreigner wants to predicate American HX via hollywood on an American BB is quite frankly beyond arrogant ignorance Tommy . .......~S~

Sl;avery was britains shame. But they gave up slavery volunntaruly.
Texas went to war twice and only gave it up when they had their arses kicked. Horrible people.

As did the US. Or are you uneducated re: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Rhetorical, it is clear you have no idea.

There were good people involved but thousands of southern trash as well. There was a war to keep slavery you know.
