Geez, this thread is just getting better and better....
Ya know what? These brave Texans did this for me. If they wanted to own slaves, fine! That wasn't the cause of the revolution. Santa Anna really did not CARE if they owned slaves. He was against slavery, but he wasn't an abolitionist. Americans settled Texas, and they were all Americans, who believed in democracy. Santa Anna was, I'm afraid, a DICTATOR. They did not want to be ruled by a dictator. It had nothing to do with them being Mexican. Killing 1,000 soldiers because they flew the flag of ZERO MERCY in the heat of battle is actually quite an honorable thing in this world. It was much better than the Mexican army, who slaughtered their prisoners one by one on a field at Goliad. That turns them into Milosevices.
