Yup, well put and nicely detailed.
Texas was so into slavery that both of their constitutions mandated it, and even went so far as to specify that slaveowners could NOT emancipate their own slaves.
Texas NEVER teaches this history in schools, I took two semesters of Texas history in high school and one semester of Texas history in college, not once did they even mention slavery outside the context of the US civil war, and even then it was mostly about juneteenth and not their own miserable slaver loving history.
And the Alamo? Haha, they'll never admit that was caused directly by their refusal to give up their slaves. It's hilariously ignorant.
