Tremendous strength to load and fire a 10lb-12lb flintlock rifle approximately 5ft. long? For who, a 10yr. old girl?

I suppose fighting the Indians and British doesn’t count and the fact that the Spanish had just left because they could control thing there Mexico which was city not country thought they had claim to all the land belonging to Spain is ridiculous for if they had rights to the land then why not all the countries south of mexico

"Liberated from the Mexicans"...you mean...the Mexicans that lived in Texas at the time.

Davy Crockett never said "remember the Alamo," how could he since he was killed there. This adolescent narrator and his video full of gimmicks has gotta go!

Too bad all the corny graphics and stuff. This was unwatchable

you should be careful with terms like massacre and liberated. if you're going to use them, they should be applied to both sides correctly.
