And this pisses me off.
The Alamo a Symbol of Slavery?
A claim on the children’s cable TV outlet Nickelodeon that the 1836 Battle of the Alamo was fought so ‘white farmers could keep their slaves’ has sparked controversy and outrage in this city, where the Texans who died in the historic battle are held up as examples for people to emulate, 1200 WOAI news reported Tuesday.
The fifty second long piece on Nickelodeon, which is part of an ongoing series of features about the U.S. called ‘My Back Yard,” shows a San Antonio teenager telling the largely pre-teen audience that ‘in the early 1800’s, most of the people living in San Antonio were white farmers who brought their slaves with them.’ It goes on to claim that conflict over slavery between slaveholding settlers and a Mexican government which had abolished slavery ‘led up’ to the Battle of the Alamo.
When the left talks about the revising of history, they should look in the mirror.
