22. The Alamo
Hi this is my first post but anyway I was born and raised in San Antonio Texas and I'm glad that people are Remembering The Alamo. But it is good for all of us Americans to also read the Mexican version (history) of The Alamo. I grew up knowing that one of the biggest problems in Texas back then was that the Mexican Government had pass laws that outlawed Slavery. These laws where called Emancipation Measures. This pissed off the likes of Travis, Crockett, Bowie ect... they wanted to have slaves. That was 27 years before Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation freeing all Slaves. Slavery had a lot to do with the war between the Texans and Mexico. I was very glad that when the History Channel did Remember The Alamo they did bring this up. It's always good to Remember the truth lines in between the 2 version.
