Kate Rogers, the now-former CEO of the Alamo Trust, which manages the site on behalf of the Texas General Land Office, has been forced to resign. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This comes after controversy surrounding the official Alamo social media pages posting an &#8220;Indigenous Peoples&#8217; Day&#8221; post on Columbus Day. That led to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick exposing a thesis Rogers had written, indicating that slavery was a leading cause of Texas&#8217;s 1836 split from Mexico. <\/p>\n<p>Despite being easily disproven, the lie that slavery was a key factor in the Texas Revolution has plagued the Texas historical community for years. Former Texas GLO Commissioner Jerry Patterson called this myth out, saying, &#8220;If it had been about slavery, you might think they would have mentioned slavery in the reasons given in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsl.texas.gov\/exhibits\/texas175\/declaration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Texas Declaration of Independence<\/a> for Rebellion. Slavery is not in there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So why does the myth that the Texas War of Independence was fought over slavery continue to plague the Alamo? Patterson says it&#8217;s simply to push an agenda. He said, &#8220;They&#8217;re making crap up, about history that&#8217;s just not factually accurate, and the primary battlefield for this is 1836, and the fight for Texas Independence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patterson also pointed out that in 1836, multiple other Mexican states, which didn&#8217;t allow slavery, were also in rebellion. It&#8217;s also worth noting that the Texian surgeon at the Alamo was a published abolitionist. All of these facts, along with other mountains of historical evidence, point to the simple fact that the reason for Texas&#8217;s split from Mexico, and the battle of the Alamo, was then-Mexican President Antonio L\u00f3pez de Santa Anna&#8217;s disregard of the 1824 Mexican constitution, and his setting himself up as the supreme dictator of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Patterson has set up the website <a href=\"https:\/\/1836truth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">1836truth.com<\/a> to share the truth about the Texas Revolution and the Battle of the Alamo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Major shakeups are happening at Texas&#8217;s most important historic site.
