While slavery was definitely one contributing factor to the Texas Revolution, it wasn’t the primary reason for the revolution, like it was for the US South in the Civil War. The Texas Revolution only kicked off after Santa Anna dissolved the Mexican Legislature, ended the Mexican Constitution, and created a centralized Catholic government. 15 Mexican states rebelled at the same time in response, “Alta California, Nuevo México, Tabasco, Sonora, Coahuila y Tejas, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Yucatán, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas.”
Santa Anna led the army to brutally repress each rebellion. Texas was the only rebellion to succeed, largely due to having more people than the other states and supply lines to the US.
Santa Anna’s pattern of indiscriminate executions of hundreds of people at a time definitely contributed to the veracity with which Texans fought. Santa Anna was responsible for the slaughter of thousands of people across Mexico, including many indigenous people, and by the end, he appointed himself dictator for life and made everyone call him “His Most Serene Highness.”
dress it up however you like, it’s simply texas ‘exceptionalism’ and a load of horse shit.
all hat, no cattle, all slavery, no liberty. you guys wanted and fought, TWICE, for a slavery republic.
look at the fucking constitutions bud. what kind of shithole mandates the bondage of people to the point where EVEN THE FUCKIN SLAVE OWNERS COULDN’T EMANCIPATE THEIR ‘PROPERTY’?
think about that racist bullshit and stop trying to make it all about the big bad santa ana, there was plenty of evil in texas to go around

none of those actions was to further slavery. still better than slavers.
The argument about which is more immoral, murdering or enslaving, is certainly more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.
Did the lost cause get a prequel when I wasn‘t paying attention?
No, the Texas Revolution and the Civil War were really different
nope.
