Episode 59: Mexican Politics & The Texas Revolution
In November 1835, 189 years ago this month, the Texas Revolution is in full swing. It’s not an isolated event – rather, one link in a chain of events that had been unfolding for several years in greater Mexico.
We reveal what caused political turmoil in Mexico, the power struggle that brought a general named Santa Anna to power, and the political pendulum swing that forever changed the course of Texas history. Featuring the Alamo's former curator Dr. Bruce Winders.
