  2. You'll get no traction on that story here, or in California schools these days. I'm in SoCal, my city was started by a man born in the Boston area, became a naturalized Mexican citizen, then married into the Bandini family, Abel Stearns.

  3. Horses for the Comanche were a cultural appropriation. I was an adult until I find out the horse was not "native" to native Americans.

  4. Yes, the Trist mission was not fully explored in this video. Someone should write an alternate history with the US annexing all of Mexico and turning into a slave territory. The South may have then won the Civil War.

  5. Learn more, the "damage" is bi-partisan.

  6. Wow, that's inside history stuff, thanks. I'm in California, streets, town, cities, parks, are named after many from the war, but now being challenged and changed.
