My gratitude is unspeakable.
And not just to Tennesseans like Crockett and the 31 (or 32?) volunteers who died at the Alamo … but also to the many great southeasterners who helped in the fight for Texas Independence.
Some well-known gents
:: Alamo Co-Commander and South Carolinian, William Travis and fellow SC hero, James Bonham
:: The volunteer Red Rovers from Alabama
:: James Bowie of Kentucky
:: Georgia native and second President of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau Lamar
:: James Fannin of Georgia (who led the rebels massacred at Goliad whose defeat inspired the victory that secured Texas independence)
:: The Georgia Battalion (who became part of Fannin's regiment in the Goliad Campaign)
And of course, the Alamo casualties from SEC states

Not that we are unappreciative, but Santa Anna made pretty quick work of the Alamo defenders once he got bored with the seige.
The volunteers didn’t even play that big a role in the Alamo other than Crockett. They played an absolute essential role in the battles that followed that gave Texas its independence. Sad you don’t know your own history.

We should’ve let Mexico have them.

but so is Memphis.
Memphis isn’t because a bunch of leftists flocked In from The Pacific NW.
Memphis is liberal because when the factories shut down the jobs left. The entirety of the Memphis interstate system at the time was designed around the factories like Firestone and Maybeline. The surrounding areas then became condemned and what you have now is “The Hood.” Then you had Northwest go bankrupt and Delta pulled out of the deal to make Memphis THE Delta hub, after Atlanta threatened lawsuits.
Memphis went blue because of corruption and race-baiting. Austin went blue because they accepted California implants.

I think you meant "if South Carolinians had not saved" and you need to quit getting your history lessons from Disney.
Oh, and read a letter by a South Carolinian named Travis.

Fake news. As we invaded Mexico City with not much than more than a few weekend warrior militias, the Mexicans fully submitted. We steamrolled every significant battle in the Mexican-American war….by ALOT and often significantly outnumbered.

Tennesseans gave their lives to give Texans a state and all they did with that gift is to turn it into a liberal suck hole.

This is where y'all get so close yet swing and miss.
"Texans" weren't a thing. Mexicans didn't want to settle Tejas. They needed people. They offered up cheap land to Tenneseeians, Virginians, South Carolinians, etc.
Once all these Southerners got there, they got sick of Mexico and decided they wanted Texas for themselves.
Look at the most famous founding fathers of Texas.
Sam Houston - Virginia
William Travis - South Carolina
James Bowie - Kentucky
Stephen Austin - Virginia
These great men abandoned their home states and became the first Texans.
