There is very little Americans really need to know about this: San Jacinto and The Treaty of Velasco. Google it. If Chicanos want to blame someone for losing Mexican holdings to the USA, YOU can lay all the blame at the feet of your beloved Generalissimo Lopez de Santa Anna, "Napoleon of the West." Get over it.
Important Dates: March 2, 1836 Texas Independence, April 21, 1836 Battle of San Jacinto.
Mexican Army defeated by Sam Houston's Texians at the Battle of San Jacinto. The casualties, according to Houston's official report, numbered 630 Mexicans killed, 208 wounded, and 730 taken prisoner. As against this heavy score, only nine Texans were killed or mortally wounded, and thirty wounded less seriously.
Remember the Alamo!! Remember Goliad!! Constitution of 1824, COME AND TAKE IT!!! (and meet the business end of a Texan's firearm) The future of Aztlan is a pipe dream.
