Too often today the Alamo is depicted as a bunch of American white-supremacists who oppressed the local population, hoping to “steal Mexican lands.”   This is tiring, simplistic, and woefully unfair. History rewritten.   Settlers in Texas were promised freedom and independence by the Mexican Government. In the spring of 1836, those who fortified the Alamo against the dictator General Santa Anna were patriots, many born and raised in Texas, native sons. And they understood they might not survive yet willingly stayed and fought to the death.   The Alamo proves the point. Americans will die on their feet rather than live on their knees.   May we remember the Alamo for what it truly stood for—and stands for today. These were free men and women. Never shackled. Fighting to survive just one more day, struggling to subdue a harsh world and burying their children along the way.   Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness means everything to Texans as it does to all traditional Americans. It’s God-given. And it’s to die for.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   Mentioned in this episode: https://news.osu.edu/when-europeans-were-slaves--research-suggests-white-slavery-was-much-more-common-than-previously-believed/   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!     OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 37 - WASHINGTON'S MIRACLE MAN (Part 3/3) | Col.
