                                                                      Something to Think About

Texas wasn't quite innocent during the Texas Revolution. Though some of you people are blinded by the opinions that said that Texas was NOT the bad guy, think about this: Texas was fighting for SLAVERY, whilst Mexico was NOT! Interestingly enough, there isn't exactly a good side and bad side in this Revolution.

                                                   Think About The Texas Revolution...

                                                                            Ask yourself, "Why did it happen?" and, "Who started the war?"
The thing that we all are not quite used to is choosing sides. Here: FAMILY vs FRIENDS. Pick one. Some of you are like, "Oh! That's easy! FAMILY!" while others are more, "Tell me the conflict and I'll choose." The soldiers that fought in the war were either slaves, volunteers, military, employees, or forced. MEXICO VS TEXAS.  OH! That's easy! TEXAS! Think again. Some people's opinions are clouded by bias. That is not the correct choice. Like your family, you are stuck to loyalty from your friends or family. Now think about this. Your family is the government trying to legalize slavery, and your friends are saying, "No way Jose!" Now choose which side you are on. Flesh and blood/Texas OR Law and loyalty.

    The Texas Revolution and The Events that Matter Most

    Read the paragraph and answer honestly.

    While captive in Texas, Joel Roberts Poinsett — U.S. minister to Mexico in 1824 — offered a harsh assessment of General Santa Anna's situation, stating:

    Say to General Santa Anna that when I remember how ardent an advocate he was of liberty ten years ago, I have no sympathy for him now, that he has gotten what he deserves. To this message, Santa Anna made the reply:

    Say to Mr. Poinsett that it is very true that I threw up my cap for liberty with great ardor, and perfect sincerity, but very soon found the folly of it. A hundred years to come my people will not be fit for liberty. They do not know what it is, unenlightened as they are, and under the influence of a Catholic clergy, a despotism is the proper government for them, but there is no reason why it should not be a wise and virtuous one.
