    The cenotaph should be demolished and a new monument should me made to honor the memory of the native Americans that are buried in the Alamo land. This new monument should honor the memory of all those natives and the victory of the Mexicans over the Alamo! ¡Que Vivan los Pueblos Originarios! ¡Que vivan sus costumbres y tradiciones! ¡Que vivan las lenguas indígenas! ¡Que Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽

And before you make a judgement about people who died 200 y are ago, I'll remind you that Mexico still uses conscripted military recruits and has done so for 80 years. The USA stopped enslaving it's young people at the end of the Vietnam war. The way I see it, if you wish Mexico had won, then YOU are the one supporting modern day slavery.

This is sacred history not just to Texas but all Americans as those felled in the Civil War are embraced nationally.

    Nope: Santa Anna was confronted with the problem of disposing the dead. He directed the Alcalde, Ruiz, to have built two immense wooden pyres. These were located on what was then known as the Alameda, or Cottonwood grove roadway. It is now a wide portion of East Commerce Street. The northeast end of one of the pyres extended into the eastern portion of the front yard of what is now the Ludlow House. The other pyre was in what is now the yard of Dr. Ferdinand Herff Sr.’s old Post, or Springfield House. I have had both pyres’ positions positively located by those who saw the corpses of the slain placed there. Two days later, only a few skulls and limbs were left, and after being exposed for several more days, a small pit was dug in what is now the Ludlow front yard where the remains were buried. The wind had dispersed the remaining ashes.

    The city of San Antonio has lost their damn minds and are being unreasonable. The cenotaph is a part of San Antonio's past history. They're just too cheap to want to take care of such an important landmark. That would be like New York City not wanting to help with the upkeep of the World Trade Center Reflection Pools, even though it sits right in the heart of Downtown Manhattan.

    I support Texas's maintainance of the cenotaph, but I also agree that we have to be honest about the Alamo. Texans need to plainly admit that the Texas Revolution was largely about slavery. I don't agree with taking down the monuments or slandering the revolutionaries. But it's just foolishness to expunge any mention of slavery, as though not mentioning it somehow makes the fight legitimate.
