It amazes me how you always take things 1 step past necessary with most all your post- I realize Americans have sacrificed- thank you Captain Obvious.

And to be historically accurate- most that died were not technically "Americans". Bowie was a citizen of Mexico and Crockett pledged his allegiance to Texas.

And Texans have a lot of pride in being having been a Republic, etc but totally gloss over the fact that they existentially begged the US to admit them as a state bc they were afraid Santa Ana might come back.
