The Mexican Side of the Texas Revolution

The Texas Revolution is a war that many believe was fought by brave men, men that wanted independence, freedom, and liberty from the cruel hands of the Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Many know the Texas revolution as the victory for the rebels, and the defeat of the cruel Mexican army, who caused atrocities throughout Texas. Though, what many individuals do not know, and something that is not taught in schools, is that of the Mexican side of the Texas Revolution. Now, on the Mexican side of the Texas Revolution people will see that officers did not agree with everything that occurred, from the Goliad Massacre, to the assault of the Alamo. One shall now discover the early part of the Texan campaign, but not from the Texas side of the war, but from the side of the Mexican army.

In the end, the Mexican army was “defeated” by the Texan forces, the might of the Mexican army organized at Old Fort, and marched towards the Texan forces at San Jacinto, the war could have been won by the Mexican forces. Sadly, the incompetence of General Filisola and the other high officers resulted with the total defeat of Mexico, their actions too destroyed what was left of morale in the Mexican army. Though that is in the past, and nothing can be changed, the only thing one can do now is learn from the past mistakes of their ancestors, and never repeat their mistakes that bring shameful defeat to their mother/father land.
