I’ve posted a snippet from an article, with the link to the full article below, as well.
All of the historical twists and slanted perspectives from the different “sides” is, to me at least, the most fascinating, yet horrifying part of researching.
In our “inverted reality” it seems most of the echoes of “history repeating” are truly distorted, as seen through a mirror, and sheets of rain. Backwards and upside down, or so it seems to me.

“Remember the Alamo” was a call for vengeance against Mexicans that was used as a rallying cry at San Jacinto and during the Mexican-American War.
James E. Crisp points out that the Alamo “became a hammer for bashing Mexican Americans in Texas.” It is still the preeminent anti-Mexican symbol and slogan (both in and out of Texas), which is presumably why President Donald Trump mentioned the “last stand” at “the beautiful, beautiful Alamo” in his recent State of the Union address.
During the Civil War, the Alamo actually housed slave auctions.
The second president of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, tried to kill or expel all Native Americans.
Alamo lore served to define Mexicans and their descendants as enemies of the state.
Thus, if one insists on calling the Alamo a symbol of liberty, I would say it best represents the liberty of whites to enslave, kill, expel, segregate, oppress, and otherwise dominate people of color.
The Alamo is the cradle of Texas slavery, and a host of other oppressions.”
Remember the Alamo for what it really represents
Commentary: The Alamo is a symbol of wars that advanced slavery, territorial conquest, and anti-Mexican sentiment.

I am actually hearing from leftists that no fraud, waste or corruption has been uncovered.
