#1 And thus, the revisionism of history continues. Never mind all the Tejanos who made up the majority of the people rebelling against Mexico. It is the eeeeevil whitie and the joooooo.
Plus, isn't Nickelodeon a canadian company? What the hell do they know about Mexican-American history anyway? Liberal asswipes....

#3 Course the real reason is because Davy Crockett and Jeb Boone Travis were making a country safe for Haliburton/Standard Oil of Mikosukee.

#4 Mexico has oil, Texas has oil, and don't forget the plans for the pipeline to Oklahoma (oklahoma is Ok!). Sam Houston lied and people died! how clear does it have to be before you see the truth!

#5 Shipman, if you think there's even a grain of truth, then please explain to me WHY de-facto slavery, in the form of peonage, remained in Mexico until the second revolution, in the 1900's.

For that matter, I'd also like to hear an explanation of that from Nickolodeon.

The rest of what I have to say on the subject is unprintable. I'm ***king disgusted.

#6 You can see a list of the names of the defenders at the Alamo here.

There are a fair number of Hispanic names there.

Trying to teach things to kids in one-minute sound bites isn't going to work.

#8 Trying to teach things to kids in one-minute sound bites isn't going to work.

Given enough repetition it actually works pretty well. How many 70's Saturday morning cartoon watchers can still sing the Preamble to the Constitution?
