Reply to comment by Cwallace98 in TIL of the Battle of San Jacinto. Just six weeks after the Texans terrible loss at The Alamo in 1836. The Texans regrouped under Sam Houston, and surprised the Mexican forces and overwhelming defeated the Mexicans. The Texans had 11 soldiers killed and the Mexicans lost 650. by triviafrenzy

Very clear people are not aware Texas broke away from Mexico at least partially to keep slaver legal. There were other issues they had with Mexico's government, but a very clear effect of the Texans winning was slavery continuing in the area until the U.S. civil war ended.

They are aware at some level. They just don't remember.

Don't Remember why they were fighting at The Alamo!

Only to join the United States, which would also outlaw slavery. Such bad luck!
