And in light of questions about my version of history,
some background:
"Soldiers and citizens of San Antonio de Bexar: It is
more than a year since I left my country, during which
time I have labored indefatigably for our good. I have
overcome many difficulties, have made friends and have
obtained means to aid us in throwing off the insulting
yoke of the insolent despotism. Rise en masse,
soldiers and citizens; unite in the holy cause of our
country! I am now marching to your succor with a
respectable force of American volunteers who have left
their homes and families to take up our cause, to
fight for our liberty. They are the free descendents
of the men who fought for the independence of the
United States; and as brothers and inhabitants of the
same continent they have drawn their swords with a
hearty good will in the defense of the cause of
humanity; and in order to drive the tyrannous
Europeans beyond the Atlantic."
Here's the rest of it:
