slavers" is misleading at best. The fact that many of the leaders of the Texian force at the Alamo were slave owners is irrelevant to the battle itself, and the caption leads readers to believe (falsely) that slavery was the root cause of the battle. The Texas Revolution, which was one of many revolts against the Centralist Republic of Mexico, was a reaction against Santa Anna's dissolution of the Constitution of 1824 in 1835. While slavery had been outlawed by Mexico in 1829, the ban was largely ignored, and Mexico never made any attempts to confiscate slaves from the Texians.

Both the title of the battle and the "American enslavers" bit in the Onderdonk caption are inaccurate. This is an American English article. "El Alamo" is not consistent with the language convention. The title of the painting for which this is a caption is "Fall of the Alamo," an accurate title if not

Re: Vicente Guerrero - It should be noted that while he did use emergency power to issue a decreto abolishing slavery, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec was exempted (Mexico was seeking to import slaveowners to cultivate the region) and that Tejano leaders in Texas sought exemption and received it. It was

There are sources that state that around 60% of the Mexican population spoke a native language in the 1820s, Spanish only became widespread in Latin America after the independence wars were over. So it is erroneous to assert and imply that Spanish was imposed instantly in the 1500s and mostly by

This allowed ‘mestizos’, who were of mixed ancestry and outnumbered those who were mostly of European ancestry, to thrive and prosper at the expense of those of mainly native ancestry and gradually assimilated the remaining indigenous population spread across the region in a process that lasted

Independence era (1808 - 1855), I see several issues with the caption. Firstly, the name of the battle in English is Battle of the Alamo, not Battle of El Álamo. Secondly, the description of the battle as being "between the Mexican army led by President Antonio López de Santa Anna and American

1849:: "generally 50 kilobytes of readable prose (8,000 words) is the starting point at which articles may be considered too long. Articles that go above this have a burden of proof that extra text is needed to efficiently cover their topics and that the extra reading time is justified". See also 1495:

The wording in the caption should be modified such that readers aren't misled as to the purpose of the Texas Revolution - a simple change to something like "Battle of The Alamo (1836), between the Mexican army led by President Antonio López de Santa Anna and Texian rebels" should suffice.

Iberians, the concept of Spain came years later after colonisation began, with the assistance of native allies toppled the ruling indigenous empires in the early 1500s and established colonies in slivers of the Americas in the first decades of colonisation, far from the entire continent.

That stood out to me too. As written it suggests that the Texians were attempting to enslave the Mexicans. Ought to be changed to "Texian rebels," and those wishing to learn more about the origins of the Texas revolution can be linked to the appropriate article.

There's not a single reference to the name "Mēxihcatl Tlacetilīlli Tlahtohcāyōtl", since it has never been the official name in Nahuatl of the United Mexican States. Its official name in Nahuatl according to INALI is "Mexika Sentik Wexteyowalko", as you can read

It is estimated that as much as 90% of the native population perished due to diseases rather than warfare so these vast areas not under European rule is what allowed native populations to recover in numbers in the subsequent decades.

Additionally, the image should be credited as "Fall of the Alamo" by Robert Jenkins Onderdonk, 1903. The Teocali work should be attributed to Leutze (1848), Three Guaranties credited to Bastin, Thomas & Richauld
