The Texas Revolution: Battle of Gonzales 1835

Video Overview & Insights

After the fall of New Spain, the Mexican government wanted to bolster the population of its northern regions to protect its inner core from marauding parties of hostile natives and American filibusters. To rectify the problem, the Mexican government invited men such as Stephen F Austin to bring in loyal colonists from the United States to lay down roots in the region known as Texas. However, unbeknownst to the government officials in Mexico City. This problem would backfire in their face. Seeing the wonderful land of Texas up for grabs, thousands more Americans flooded into the Mexican state and started eating up the land. The Mexican officials tried to stop this flood but to no avail. Fighting starts breaking out against the Texian colonists and Mexican soldiers for years on end. The bloodshed will only rise when a popular Mexican General named Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna takes the reins of government. Though popular initially, Santa Anna soon centralizes power and overturns the Constitution, sparking revolts throughout the country. Tired of having no voice in government and being regulated as a second-class region, the people of Texas rise up hoping to get what they want finally, their state. With the tension rising throughout the country, it will only take a small incident to explode the entire region into civil conflict. It might be something as small as a cannon…

Since the original “come and take it” flag is lost, did it ever really exist? I mean, since 99% of texans were illiterate back then, what are the chances that two women, texas women, could come up with such a literate and Laconian phrase?

This is great fun. I've lived 20 minutes south of Nacogdoches my entire life. It was wild seeing Peter Jennings there when Columbia blew up. Poor dude couldn't pronounce it to save his life. You do alright. (Naca-Doe-Chus)

Much like the English Civil War was as much about religion as anything else, the Texas revolution was part of a much larger Mexican Civil War. I love learning more about my home, thank you for making these videos!

How can you cover Austin as “history” and sidestep slavery? S A Austin was a human trafficker plain and simple. It is a shameful history and this video does a real disservice.

You should do stuff on A.J. Sowell! He wrote a lot of first hand account from Texan pioneers. He was also a Texan ranger and Alamo defender

What is Texas? It is a territory filched from the government of Mexico, taken and occupied by fraud, dishonesty and falsehood. Because the soil is rich and valuable is no excuse for the robber who steals it, and there is no defense or excuse for those who have taken and held that part of Mexico called Texas, without the consent of the Mexican government and indeed against its expressed desires. The Texas rebellion was one of the most barefaced high handed outrages ever recorded on the page of history for which there is no legal or moral justification whatsoever and has no resemblance to anything or any war we know of, save South Carolina nullification. Call the Texasses sons of America? So are the inhabitants of Botany Bay sons of England, yet who will rank the transported convicts in new Holland with honest reputable Englishman? And who will rank the Texans with the free and intelligent sons of the New England puritans? Horse thieves have emigrated to Texas from the states in large numbers, so have murderers, burglars, incendiaries, bigamists, embezzlers, seducers, blacklegs indeed all criminals who have had the luck or ingenuity to escape have fled to Texas. Who will rank the murderous, thievish clan which infests every town in Texas, with the quiet and peaceful villagers of the North? Who will rank men who have no Sabbath and no religion, with the sober, moral and religious communities in all parts of the North? Who will rank tyrants who feast on the profits of negro slavery, with the descendants of those who fought at Bunker's Hill and Bennington? As well rank virtue with vice, truth and right, with falsehood and wrong. But their character is too well known to merit much description, and this must give way to more important discussion. When done, the deed is irrecoverable; therefore the project should be crushed now, and Texas, at all hazards, union or no union, should be, must be kept out.! Whomever that informs himself in the first cause and support of the Texans are at heart a slave holder, and his cry of liberty in Texas in the very quintessence of hypocrisy! Will you willingly hug a viper to your own bosom? Remonstrate to every hall of congress by the millions, oppose the Texas annexation in a stern unified manner or you sign at once by that event the death warrant of American freedom. That union would live out a short existence afterwards but it would be like a man after 70, who would rather moan and groan than live. If anyone is unhappy with the land founded by the Penns, the Adams the Washington or the Jeffersons, and deem Texas, the land of the Houston’s, Bartow, and Swarthout and Company more suiting, bone of their bone, they are at liberty to do so, the sooner the better, and let them find themselves a more suitable environment with their blood stained sister territory “the lost star state”, Texas is just the place for them.

My 4x great grandmother is Elizabeth Deardroff George Hoskins. Her first husband was James George. James supplied the ox and yoke to move the Gonzalez cannon during the battle of Gonzalez. Elizabeth's brother William Deardroff my 4x great uncle and James George where apart of the Immortal 32. Obviously they both died at the Alamo. Elizabeth and her children then fled during the runway scrape. She came back to settle along Plum Creek. After losing James at the Alamo she married two more times. Her third and final husband was my 4x great grandfather Thomas Hoskins. Thomas was himself a extremely intreasting character. He was an outlaw, a degenerate gambler, drunk and a Murderer. He was one of the first inmates to serve time at Huntsville state penitentiary. Thomas and his son JT my 3x great grandfather fought on the side of the Confederacy in the civil war. My family's history runs deep in Texas. My cousin Janet Hoskins Dickerson wrote a great book on our families extensive history in texas between 1830-1930 called Fast Horses.

Just a small correction.. Anahuac was settled in 1736, well before the date you cited. The Fort may not have been built until 1825, but it was built in an already existing community.

Technically, the Texas Revolution was actually a Mexican Civil War?

If current Mexicans living in the US raise against US government; would you also call it a “revolution”? Seriously wondering your take on that.

The cunning of the Texans in the face of the honor shown by the Mexicans makes it difficult to see them as the good guys if you look at this any other way than a band of rebels fighting a band of usurpers who overthrew first the legitimate Spanish government and then the already illegitimate interim government of Mexico

Let’s be honest here, they got free land, betrayed their new country, didn’t want to pay taxes, refused to free Blacks, stole land from Mexicans with American laws, and cried foul for Santa Ana defending his country …
