Result of Mexico vs USMNT

[Stan Collins]

You do realize that it was not Mexicans who were slaughtered at the Alamo, right? Umm, yes it was. The forces defending the Alamo fought under the Mexican flag, for the Constitution of 1824, against the dictator Santa Anna. They had not declared themselves independant at the time.

they considered themselves Texians....did they not?

[Stan Collins]

No, they considered themselves "Texians," residents of a state. They were split as to whether they favored independance at that point, but they all hated Santa Anna.

{Note: I didn't see you'd spelled it correctly, but the principle applies: the difference between "Texians" and "Texans" is that the former term was for a region rather than for a country.}

You are correct. Texas did not consider themselves to be independent until 01MAR @ Washington on the Brazos yet Texians did not want any part of Mexico or 1824 Constitution for a long time as a matter of fact battles were fought long before The Alamo and Washington on the Brazos. The battle of Gonzales was fought in Sept. of 1835. "Come and Take it"

Okay.....so they weren't Mexicans, right? I'm pretty sure Crockett, Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Sam Houston weren't Mexican.
