Feature History - Texas Revolution

It's amazing how you told this story in 15 minutes when my 4th grade teacher couldn't do in a whole year

In the words of Davy Crockett after losing a congressional race in his home state of Tennessee, "You may all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"

Little does the world know, the key to our victory was secretly Whataburger. We bribed Mexican officers to give up their vital and essential military secrets to us with fries and cheeseburgers.

Flashes back to 7th grade Texas History

I live in Seguin Tx and go to college in Gonzales. Gonzales even has the cannon and "come and take it" on their police cars😂.

I live in the small town in East Texas named Crockett. It’s named after him because it’s the last place he settled before going off to fight and die at the Alamo. His log cabin is still up! And on the square.

Alright before too many corrections get spammed in the comments let me get on top of that. CORRECTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS: 0:28 - I said Mexico but drew New Spain; realised this in production, was just too lazy to fix 8:18 - Not actually the Texian Flag at the time, was adopted in 1839; Chose to use it for its iconic nature. 8:41 - Comamnd; a classic Feature History typo 13:03 - There was a few presidents between Houston's first and second term; just didn't think it was too important to mention them. 1:44 - Florida belonged to Britian after the Seven Years' War, Spain only got it back after the American Revolution

Hello, Mexican here! Great video. I just want to thank you for an outsider perspective on this event. Currently I'm taking some classes about the USA history and politics and I want to be as unbiased as possible. I'm relieved to see that really there's no much difference between this version and what is taught on Mexico, because when I started with my studies I supposed that maybe some things wouldn't explicitly be taught in american schools (for example, that plenty americans illegally immigrated, or that one of the causes for the Texas revolution was the abolishment of slavery in Mexico). On the other hand, I'm also seeing a lot of comments about how mexicans would be enraged about the situation but, even though I can't speak for everyone, generally that's not the case. Rather than blaming americans, we see Santa Anna as the bad guy here, because, as shown in the video, he really was a dictator in a country that was just consolidating and had internal problems. This topic in particular is one that really fascinates me, because I see it as the main event to understand the Mexico and USA history of discontent that still shows in today's social and political climate. Despite this, I believe that there's really not reason to continue with it. Sure, I know americans can point out plenty of problems with my country that affects them, as we can do the same. But recently, we have more reasons to work on them together rather than playing the game of blaming and vilifying each other. I'm really hopeful for what the future awaits for us, and that the relation between both countries turns out for the best.

Copy & Paste + more revolt and slavery sprinkled in, lol! Great work mate.

The Alamo was a slaughter for Mexico too. About a third of the besiegers were killed in the battle.

Can you believe this guy? Flat out calls himself “brilliant” at the start of the video.

Interesting fact: Texas has one of the largest state constitution in the US with 483 amendments.

I've got a commenter who's been asking for the Texas Revolution for most of a year now - I'll have to send him your way because this was way more than I could ever accomplish. Awesome job!

"Wish I was back in Texas,: The ocean's no place for a squirrel"

"You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas"

Santa Anna was found and captured wearing an infantryman's uniform. While being "processed" by the Texians, a Mexican soldier recognized Santa Anna, and immediately started bowing and apologizing for losing. This is how Santa Anna was captured. His legacy is that of a little coward puto.

People from other states often wonder why Texans have such a strong sense of independence and this video is a good example as to why. Houston has a statue of Sam Houston riding a horse pointing out in the distance toward San Jacinto. Not the most exciting place to visit but it does harbor the Battleship of Texas & the tallest stone monument in the world.

Omg I cannot explain to you how much better you are than my Texas History teacher. You explained a whole unit in 15 minutes, rather than like 3 weeks of me not learning anything. You are a legit life saver 😩

The red flag means a declaration of hostile intentions, the black flag on the other hand does mean no quarter or surrender will be given or taken.
