Should We Really 'Forget' the Alamo? Texas Publisher Fact-Checks Controversial Alamo Book's Key Claims


The new book
Forget the Alamo is causing a stir in Texas. Lavished with friendly coverage in media nationwide and in particular at the
San Antonio Express-News, the book makes sensational claims and also covers ground that’s been known to historians and Alamo scholars for decades as if it’s a grand new revelation. It wasn’t written by historians or peer-reviewed before publication. But that hasn’t mattered to its public relations and marketing. The

What the heck is going on at the Texas State Historical Association these days? I understand that this is probably a story that sounds like it’s coming from deep in the weeds, at least if you’re not from Texas, but it’s certainly curious. The “chief historian” of the TSHA recently wrote an opinion piece for USA Today in which he made some rather outrageous (and dubious) claims about the Battle of the Alamo.

Buenger describes the battle as “insignificant” in historic and tactical terms, amounting to little more than an excuse to promote racism and extoll the virtues of “whiteness.” Yeah… ....

The Texas Historical Association's Chief Historian Says the Alamo was an 'Insignificant' Battle and Represents 'Whiteness.' What Do Texas History Experts and the Facts Say?

This past week, Texas State Historical Association chief historian Walter Buenger made two controversial assertions regarding the Alamo in a story published by
Although the battle has become a symbol of patriotism and freedom for many Texans and Americans, like the Confederate monuments erected after the Civil War, the myth of the Alamo has been used to “commemorate whiteness,” according to Walter L Buenger, Texas State Historical Association chair.
The battle itself was relatively insignificant tactically speaking, but it gained recognition decades later in the 1890s as backlash to African Americans gaining more political power and Mexican immigration increasing, Buenger said. In 1915, “Birth of a Nation” director D.W.
