Signed it at the Alamo. Adept political move, and much appreciated š
I figure the Left is about to launch a full-court press on the Alamo story with that new book coming out.
Heck I missed it all, Iām on I 64 in Eastern KY, gonna blitz by the New River George on my way NY State.

Yep, itās gonna get all sorts of press coverage, stuff WE already knew for the most part, but cherry-picked and quoted way out of context. Every Historian they misquoted in it is gonna be appalled.

Centralist against Republicans. Mexico was ripe with revolts not only in Texas but also in Zacatecas and Yucatan. All due to Santa Annaās repeal of the liberal policies of his Vice Pres Valentin Farias. Who was the real prez during santa annaās term i. Office. See old Antonio Lopez just wanted the title of Presidente. He didnāt want the responsibility. So he let Farias run things while he stayed at his hacienda at Vera Cruz! Watching how things went. And he could step at the best moment when he could become like a supreme generalissimo and not worry with all the other free republic BS.

Im really giving the bare bones cliff notes version. Itās much more complex. I left out a lots of important back stories. Like the liberties guaranteed by the constitution of 1824. The difference between the way a state vs a district could govern themselves. THE SUPPORT THE TEXIAN SETTLERS GAVE SANTA ANNA IN 1832!!! Texas wanting to be an independent Mexican state.
Lots, lots more!

Mexican history is an exhausting, chaotic read.
Santa Annaās career is likewise an exhausting, chaotic read, he sure werenāt shy about killing folks tho, his fellow Mexicans for the most part. IIRC he was responsible for the the deaths of around 1,500 citizens of Guanajuato and Zacatecas in 1835, Ballparks to about three times as many Mexicans as the number of Texians he would kill in Texas in 1836.
