The Alamo [View all]

[CTyankee]

I have an upcoming meeting with my book producer who has just returned from a conference in San Antonio and had visited the Alamo. He is a republican and I anticipate a discussion about the Alamo.

Let me interject here that I am a 3rd generation Texan who was pretty much instructed to believe that the Alamo was about Texas's freedom from oppression by the Mexican government at the time in history. Since then I have never given it much thought and I now live in blue CT.

I need some help from folks who have a better understanding of this historical battle (and the movie about that battle) and the truth, not the fiction, about it.

I'll cross post this in the Texas forum. Thank you for your help in my revisiting this issue...
