Does the Alamo Lie About Texas History? Reaction to Cynical Historian

You're the one who brought rice into this who's yipping for white people I mean if anything it's America in Texas

This video earned my subscribe.

To this day…Ozzy Osbourne remembers the Alamo.

The first casualty of war is Truth. I had a relative die there... that's what i know.

He has admitted defeat and paused his comments. He probably needs to go to a safe space after being triggered by historical facts. Honestly, it's just race bait history and makes me question why I would ever send my kids to college.

If you ever go to Mexico City and have access to the Registro national look at the history of the Alamo you’ll find a letter in there or a from a lieutenant in the army of Mexico, who wrote about what the general did to the last six defenders that he had executed by Saber, and one of those is reported to be Davy Crockett

This little weasel and he looks like a weasel is one of those leftest that hate something and wants to bring it down.

Nobody cares lady. Yawn!!!!! Get a life.

My great great uncle died there Isaac Baker

Great video Long live Texas!

Ma’am, my name is moshe geffen I am from Victoria, Texas, but I live in Wisconsin. I just want to congratulate you with a strong point on the history told by the young man who has a PhD. I am so tired of people from other parts of the country, trying to interpret our history as Texans and Southerners and someone as myself fine very proud to be part of the confederate states of America as a Texan we have to remember where we came from and where we’re going right or wrong just because other people are infatuated with race and the things that have been done to them in the pastdoes not give a them the right to interpret our past and who we are as Texans

Well done. I enjoyed your reaction. Maybe for this historian , it would serve him well to go back and little further into the history of how the Alamo and how settlers actually arrived there. Along with the tumultuous state of affairs in the Mexican government at that time. And maybe the efforts of Travis and others to appease the requirements that were rapidly changing. Maybe then the cynical historian will better understand the love Texans have for the sacrifice of the men who defended the Alamo so heroically. Just a neat addition. Go back and search congressional metal of honor winners and see how many came from Texas. Could it be that from the bravery displayed from the start has molded the way Texans think act and carry ourselves is a honoring of those that went before us?

I haven’t been to the Alamo in some time and when I went I was very young with my grandparents but is there a worship service held in the church?

They were terrorists, not defenders.they were criminals,not heroes. Defenders of slavery. They were useful idiots for the United States government for s land grab for manifest Destiny.they were mercenary, filibusters, invaders. They shot people in the back.that was the only way that they could have won.. the Alamo is a slaughter house.hundreds buried there .very haunted,evil place. 😅Bunch of brainwashed fanatics! Sam Houston was a filthy mouthed falling down drunkard.why don't you ever talk about that fact?

nice state propaganda

Great video of historiography. Thank you.

You should be embarrassed by your insincere takes and propaganda.

You hope that "the historical record prevails." But that's not such a simple matter. Every historian chooses different facts from the historical record to create their explanatory narratives. There is no agreed upon criteria for what historical facts must be used in any explanatory narrative. The criteria are ultimately individual, personal and subjective. That is why no two histories are identical. Some historical objects and texts require interpretation and different historians may come up with differing interpretations. The historical record, of course, is not static. The record grows and changes as new evidence is found and some old evidence is found to not be genuine or not primary. People of different eras and perspectives look for and find different meanings in the same record. We use the past to explain the present, and since our present evolves, our understanding of history evolves as well---sometimes in directions we don't like. Are some histories better than others? I think so: those that use facts that can be independently verified, have plausible interpretations, and anticipate and/or respond to competing interpretations. Like you, I hope the historical record is used, but I don't think it tells its own story. We tell it.

Completely fake and incompetent history, meant to bolster today’s racism and fascism

point out the fact that mexico was trying to get rid of white texans cuz they were practicing slavery and then listen to texans recite the narcissists prayer to defend their fragile and very racist white supremacist idenity. i bet hoss is genetically mexican, but she's fine with texans massacres of mexicans. get a dna test and prove me wrong you self hating mexican.

You are an embarrassment 😂 This historian laughs at the sheer bravado you have in being so wrong wow. There is no one more confident than a painfully low-information ideologue 😅

"Shut up silly woman!"

Invaders ? The Anglo’s were invaders , they literally invaded Mexico cause they wanted more land for their cotton fields and slaves, white washing bs .

Tell me you're a Russian shill without telling me you're a Russian shill.
Is Texas important because of its "warm water ports" comrade?
A Lobbiest group masquerading as a history trust. Doesn't get more Russian asset then that.
A computer graphic designer masquerading as a historian is actually even funnier.

You're actually retarded and a fake historian.

Funny how you ignored the purpose of the original video, which was about how museums present information. Hence why the video is about more than just the Alamo.

So much bad history in one video, tell me, how much do you get paid to push this drivel?

She lies about the role of slavery and its influence on Texas. Since that issue more than any other animated Texians wish for independence from the abolitionist government of Mexico. Slavery not only has a place in the battle of at the Alamo but a central role!

Thanks!

My wife’s great uncle Andrew Kent died at the Alamo! REMEMBER THE ALAMO! 🇨🇱

Sadly the historians leave out information that’s very relevant

Maybe its shallow, but he totally lost me when he called us "Texians"
Bruh

If you focus too much on mission statements and the printed word, you miss the whole point of the Alamo IMHO. When you step into the mission church the air is heavy with the souls of the ancients. It is truly an inhabited space. Those present hush themselves into silence. Whatever the reason you go to the Alamo, you leave with this experience. If you are not some kind of insensitive dolt.

Snarky lefty “historian” trying to rewrite history. Seen a million like this turd

Sell it somewhere else lady. Some of us were born and raised here, and some of us had ancestors that lived and fought on both sides. The truth is not as cut and dry as you or many people wish to believe. History shows us time and time again that the past is never just black and white, or white and brown in this case. It was more a case of bad guys vs worse guys.

The Cynical Historian lies in all his videos. All of his videos are majority lies

The Cynical Historian is racist

Defending the white narrative. Fourth generation Texan and born and raised in San Antonio. For years we heard the John Wayne version of the Alamo. The focus of the interpretation has always been about 14 days and a few hours of traitors fighting the country that invited them. Thankfully the National Park Service came in to tell a more inclusive interpretation of the other missions. Your ramblings are excuses to defend the whitewashed history

Be honest about every aspect of our nation's history. Feelings be damned.

A lot of Texans were fighting to preserve the institution of slavery.

Great History podcasts of Texas and Indian territory is on you tube great old west history and stories about the Wild West one of my favorites is History at the ok corral and the Wild West extravaganza lots of amazing true stories about the Texas rangers the Indians wars battles with the Comanche warriors and Kiowa and much much more give them a listen and you will have hours of interesting stories about the true Wild West Wild West extravaganza and History at the ok corral. Great history and stories to real for the internet. Absolutely fascinating stories

I appreciate the fact you want the real truth about our History and warts and all not the glorified lie’s and biased opinions on the history of the Texas and the country that many don’t know thank you for the truth. The good the Bad and the ugly.

When the Battle of the Alamo took place, in a strictly legal sense Texas was property of Spain (Spain renounced its ownership of Texas on December 28, 1836). In reality, the occupation of Texas by Mexico was an illegal invasion of a territory that was not property of Mexico: the only settlers who had the legal right to settle in Texas were the settlers that the Spanish government (in the form of the Viceroy of New Spain) had agreed with Moses Austin, in which although it may seem strange, the local Spanish government indicated to Moses Austin that "the settlers of Texas should preferably be Germans and Irish ( not Mexicans ! )."

What’s the difference between Americans going to live in Mexico then declaring the state is now part of America, and Mexicans coming to live in Florida and then declaring the state is now part of Mexico….
John Wayne maybe…😂😂😂

My only wish is that they had preserved the entire complex not just what is left today

Our nation was founded on lies,murder and theft why would our history be accurately presented?

I enjoyed your observations and I appreciate your historical explanations to the Alamo in the years after the revolution.

It is hard not to be surprised by his take. More and more I find Americans have little understanding of the Texan people. A multiethnic but monocultural people. One not divided by racial notions but one united through a love of this land and way of life.

So long as red dirt runs through our veins, we remain sons and daughters of those men who died at the Alamo.
