#ForgetTheAlamo

Sad & true.
#ForgetTheAlamo

And in Texas, Clara Driscoll did a similar thing with the Alamo. Read #ForgettheAlamo for a powerful record of her efforts and those striving to keep slavery legal through grift, fraud, and crimes.

Mentioned in #ForgetTheAlamo, a brilliant book well worth reading

While we are pissing off MAGA this will also piss off most of the state of Texas. #forgetthealamo #booksky #reading #libby #goodreads #storygraph #texas #history #nonfiction

#ForgetTheAlamo is one of the best books I have read. Eye opening on the real history, and shows how some things never change, especially the lies white supremacists tell themselves. Amazing work @cltomlinson.bsky.social, @realjasonstanford.bsky.social & Bryan Burrough

Found scribbles in a works-in-progress binder I haven't opened in years: "Alamo obsessives were a besetting presence. It wasn’t as bad as they had it in Mississippi with the Civil War folks, but there was the real risk of a disordered relationship to the past." #forgetthealamo

I wanted to read #ForgettheAlamo to learn more about how deeply rooted Texas independence was in a defense of slavery. The book's meticulous evisceration of Phil Collins was, however, an unexpected bonus.
