Reply #24: Texas History 7th Grade [View All]

[Ravenseye]

We had just moved to Texas from another state. I had no clue about Texas history. Sure I had heard this name or that name, as many kids had, but no real concept of it.

On top of that I didn't study at the time.

In class the teacher asked me what I thought about 'The Alamo'. I had no clue. I'd heard 'Remember the Alamo' and all that but that was about it. I quickly considered in my head what my response should be. My thoughts were that if it was somthing to remember, the people there must have done something incredible.

"I think it was pretty incredible that those few people were able to hold off the Mexican army."

Everyone turned and looked at me as if I was aboslutely insane. My teacher with a look of incredulity responded. "They did lose."
