I'm a Texan but if I think about the Alamo very much I start to think defending the Alamo was a dumb idea that went against orders to make Travis a hero. I also wonder if the Texas Revolution might have had something do with Santa Anna outlawing slavery. But I could be wrong.

They had already given up on America. And yes, Mexico abolished slavery, and the Texicans didn’t like the idea of their government telling them what they could no longer do with their property.

So why are they considered to be heroes?

and become Roman Catholic to live there. Doomed to failure.

The question of slavery went back and forth as Mexico changed governments often in the ten years preceding the Texas Revolution. Many compromises were put forth, but the BASIC tenant on the Mexican side was no slavery, then no NEW slaves, and slaves born in Mexico has to be freed at twenty years old, and then it was straight out "No Slavery!" (in part because in those ten years the Texians had proven time and time again that they would lie, twist the meaning of "employees" vs slaves), take up arms against Mexican authority, sell land that didn't belong to them, bring in more colonists without permission, trade in slaves out of Galveston and Matagorda, and just generally be criminally undesirable. At one point, slaves outnumbered freemen by more than 2 to 1! This is the short list. They were basically deplorable.

into Texas with their slaves intended to keep them, as slaves. Taught by books I read, and even in my H.S. Jr. year U. S. History class.
