What does /his/ think of Davy Crockett?

>>17771994 (OP)
No clue who he is besides the fact he was at the Alamo cause of that song.

>>17771994 (OP)
American hero.
Soon they'll probably destroy statues and rename stuff named after him cause American history is racist or whatever.
You can go to hell and I'll go to Texas.

>American history is racist or whatever.
Yeah.

>>17772001
I am sure glad we freed them. Can faux historians ever get a new tagline?
>Reeee slaveryyyyyy

I just remember the nuke named after him in MGS3

>caught off guard with no argument; immediate non sequitur to deflect
So you're saying the defenders at the Alamo DIDNT revolt over slavery?

>>17772010
Centralization of power in Mexico. Cultural and political clashes. Suddenly restricting land after opening the gate and being like "okay come on in!" pissed people off too.
Not everything is about your sacred holy blacks I'm afraid.

>>17772010
I think there's a greater context. In 1821 when Mexico won independence from Spain, they were encouraging anglo american immigration into the sparsely populated Tejas, Texas.
Mexico tried to reassert control. In 1830 they banned further American immigration, they did in fact crack down on slavery, and centralized power under President Santa Anna
This lead to Texas declaring independence in 1836, forming the Republic of Texas after defeating Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. Texas was annexed into the United States in 1845, leading directly to the Mexican-American War (1846–1848).
So yes, Mexico cracking down on slavery and Texas entering the United States as a slave state was part of the calculus, but is a far from complete story

Yeah it was about slavery. So what? blacks have only ever been useful when in bondage and made to do things. See the last 160 years in the US for proof. Better yet every Monday just google 'shootings in chicago over the weekend'

AKA: I refuse to learn Spanish or become Catholic as is required by the laws I immigrated to Mexican Tejas under
>federal constitution of 1827 prohibits the use of slaves and declares all children of slaves free from them on
>Texians immediately chimp out
Pure coincidence. Also why do you get butthurt at the prospect of historians referring to this period as, "racist"? You didn't even bother pretending you don't hate blacks. That's what you are anon. You are racist.

>>17772022
America declared war on Mexico because Mexican soldiers crossed the Rio Grande and shot US soldiers dead on US soil.

>>17772033
Polk ordered an invasion into Texas in 1846 long before. Why do Texcucks lie so much?

>>17771994 (OP)
I did a project on him in Middle School. I showed up to present it in moccasins and a coonskin cap. He's cool.

BASED. Fuck Mexicunts and pope worship.

>>17772039
Polk sent troops to guard Texas, since Mexicunts were coping and seething that they lost. The Mexicunts insisted the border was not the Rio Grande but about a hundred miles to the north of that. So when those little jumping beans hopped the border, illegally as they love to do, and shot US servicemen dead, the righteous wrath of the American Giant came crashing down on them. We should've driven them out of the country entirely and taken it for ourselves.

>the amount of racist seething under this post

Also Jefferson Davis and many other big Union/Confederate names first appear during the Mexican-American war. While JD was serving his country faithfully and with distinction, Abraham Linculk was back home trying to get National Banks and making speeches about it.

What's it like being a degenerate leech on society?

Matthew C. Perry also made his name in the Mexican-American war

>>17772007
>someone accuses your epic revolt in the name of freedom of being racially based
>start screeching about how much you hate black people
So it's settled then. Texans were just retarded dixoids who overthrew local government because they wanted to own slaves.

>>17772070
I thought the Mexicans were racist when they banned white people from moving into texas in 1830
No human being is illegal, but those mexicans wanted to keep out whitey

VGH...

There’s the actual David Crockett and then there’s “Davy Crockett”. Even during his lifetime he was self-mythologized in ghost written books. I recall some hilarious passages about his visit to the Five Points slums in New York. The real lives of frontiersmen like Daniel Boone, Kit Carson and Jim Bridger were crazy cool but most people are more familiar with the myths propagated from dime novels onto Hollywood.

Man, Shiloh mentally raped shills. Shill narratives were born and killed in the same threads, shit was great.

>>17772064
Aye.

>>17772110
You are completely ignorant about history
You would think Slavery is a uniquely American problem, not realizing that when it came to the Atlantic Slave Trade, 45% of the slaves went to Brazil, 45% of the slaves went to the Carribean, and only 10% of Slaves made their way to North America. You expect people to feel guilt for slavery in America that you never expect from Brazil

>>17771994 (OP)
Look cool

>>17772268
>You expect people to feel guilt for slavery in America
I don't expect you to feel anyway about anything. Texans revolted because they wanted to keep slaves. Americans don't like when you state this fact because they feel the need to paint every single conflict as some noble and heroic defensive action. I called you out on this, and now the whole thread is seething.

Good day, faggots.

The United States of America was founded by White men for White people.
And it died in 1861.

A moderately successful populist politician who LARPed as 19th century Rambo despite not having done much in real life. Way overhyped because of his death at Alamo.
