As someone that was kicked out of the Alamo and escorted out by security, the Alamo was not about freedom. I was kicked out because I was offended it was a shrine to men who wanted to keep slaves. Mexico had outlawed slavery, & Texas, which was still part of Mexico, wanted to remain a slaveowners, so they took a stand at The Alamo. The sad/frustrating thing is the people that run The Alamo site know it was about slavery but continue the myth. Thom Hartmann did a great synopsis on his show recently.
