North America 183 years ago today: Texas Revolution (21 Apr 1836) https://buff.ly/2GxGiIj By the 1830s the Mexican border region of Texas had become dominated by settlers from the neighboring US. When, in 1835, Mexican President Santa Anna revoked the 1824 Constitution, Texas went into rebellion, declaring its independence the following year. Santa Anna personally led the offensive to crush the rebels, only to be defeated and captured at San Jacinto. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1830s #1836 #americanindianwars #americanhistory #april #april21 #ushistory #cherokee #historyoftexas #texanhistory #mexicanhistory #alamo #sanjacinto #santaanna #texas #texanindependence #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #welovehistory #worldhistory #19thcentury (at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwgehCTAN_r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=190wc9u0x8asq
