[StarfireIV]

Ahhh, revisionist history, isn't it wonderful. Do you think they will glance over the slaughter of those who survived the battle of the Alamo as ordered by Santa Anna AFTER they had surrendered their weapons?

[LOC1]

One must also wonder about romantisizing William B. Travis, too. He was really a head strong, wreckless young man who was instrumental in starting Texas' war with Mexico by attacking the Mexican tax collection garrison at Anahuac. He did that without support of the community and made a public appology. Then he managed to lose 200 men at the Alamo in a battle that did not really contribute to the Texas fight for independence, and in fact made it more difficult by reducing the resources available to the Texans.
