"This really is a inside look at the heart of a man, who should have been grateful to the Mexican Republic, but like his kin from the US, bit the hand that fed them. And now he glories in unthankfulness to the nation which gave him everything that the US never gave him. And then he writes to a man who envied Texas since day one of his presidency. "

This statement does so much injustice to the people of Texas and our forefathers who squared and leveled the foundation upon which our great state was built, that I feel called upon to vindicate them from the imputation so unjust and injurious as to place you in possession of the facts which I know will not make any difference to you, but the mere thought of you scratching your head to excite that tiny brain of yours will bring me much satisfaction.

The Anglo Americans were invited into Texas by the Mexican government and they settled under a Constitution and laws gauranteeing them the rights and privalages that constituted an inducement to leave the land of their birth and seek a home among strangers. The Mexican government made those inducements and granted those immunities to the Americans to place a barrier between the Mexican population and the various Indian tribes that resided on their frontier and made frequent interruptions into their territories. In this the Mexican government succeeded. As long as the American population who came to Texas, and became mexican citizens, as bona fide as though they were born on the soil, were permitted to enjoy the rights and immunities guaranteed to them by the Constitution, and laws under which they had setled in the country, they remained quite and obedient to the laws. But when the constitution under which the Americans had been invited into Texas was subverted by violence, and a military despotism erected upon the ruins of the Federal Union, the people of Texas met in solemn convention and declared their determination not to submit to this lawless usurpation. Not wishing to sever the federal compact, the Texans also invited the other Mexican states to unite with them. they did not make any declaration or take up arms until Santa Anna had invaded the country at the head of a formidable army threatening the extermination of the Anglo Americans within the limits of Texas, a threat that he carried out with precission that the events of revolution in 1836 grew, the resutls of which is known world wide. The fortune of war also placed the author of all their troubles and calamities, Santa Anna himself, in the possession of the Texans and instead of sacraficing him to the spirit of revenge, as was their right to do, the Texans instead set him free along with his countrymen which numbered more than the whole of the Texas army.

It would do you well to read up a little and familiarize yourself with facts rather than hyperbole and cilches.
