Title: Why did Texas seek independence from Mexico?
Review: I will admit that I have not read the book yet. I did read however the customer reviews to see if this book shows a more enlightened version of the battle. A version different from what Hollywood and the Lone Star State will have Americans believe. They did not. Not one review touched on WHY Texas set out to form its own nation. One main reason was that Mexico had OUTLAWED slavery, which was incomprehensible to (white) Texians. I'm sure that the men on both sides fought bravely, but the Anglos fought to OWN slaves. If this fact is not mentioned than this piece of work is more fictional than historical. Thus many people may find it hard to see the Texians as the "good guys". This may upset some people, mostly Texans, but look it up. It is the truth. However I will read the book and write an honest and full review. I bet you Texans can't wait!
