The statue depicted an enslaved Black man dutifully following his enslaver into a Civil War battle, imagery that is often described as the “faithful slave” trope, which historians say has been used to falsely convey that enslaved people were content with their lives before the war. The statue also featured an enslaved Black woman, depicted as a “Mammy,” caring for a white child — a racist caricature that has long been used to whitewash the brutality and exploitation of slavery.
The Americans lost? Which part of Texas was America in 1836?
We lost at the Alamo. We did not lose the war, but we lost at the battle.
But America as a nation did not fight at the Alamo. American expats yes, but it was not an American territory or state at that point.
Fair enough.
