The picture did follow the facts, as far as they are known, pretty well. Intersting to see characters like Grant and Neill portrayed.The Texas Revolution was justifiable and not an "imperialistic" land grab. The Spanish and Mexicans were unable to populate Texas and invited Americans in. When the Americans became of large majority of the Texian population that decided they wanted independence.
What's wrong with that? Self-determination. Democracy.
Anyway I don't think the picture portrayed the revolt as an imperialistic land grab, it covered the constitutional problems the Mexicans were having and the fact that Santa Anna was a tyrant.

Hi,
that is not how I see the history of that period. But to discuss it, we would need an appropriate venue, and that would be the Outside Asylum.
