At the Alamo, did Davy Crockett say, "The rest of you can go to hell, but I will go to Texas?"?

yes he did say that, but it wasnt at the alamo. the actual quote is:\n\nSince you have chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas. \n\nthis was his final statement on his congressional defeat.\n\nhope this helped =]]

Dear Bill, I would Like to explain why a person goes to hell and Howwe can escape the consequences of hell. I would like to ask you a few questions.............\n\nHave you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. \nHe sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. \nYour own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could.  Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, and if you will repent (turn from sin) and place your faith and trust in jesus, God will forgive you of your sins and grant you eternal life. A person dosent go to Hell because they are foolish, but raher because they have trasgressed the Law. Please, turn from sin and trust in the savior today.\nGod Bless\nWDJD

Really up on your history, aren't you?\n\nThe Spanish stole land from the native Americans, the Mexicans stole land from the Spanish, and the Texans stole land from the Mexicans.\n\nSo, what do you consider "sad?"\n\nIt's sad a bunch of drunks, gamblers and drifters who got trapped in the Alamo (because they were drunk) have attained hero status. \n\nBut, they did give the Texican thieves a rallying cry against the Mexican thieves.\n\nMexicans have no more claim to land in N. America than does anyone else, they weren't the original inhabitants and never had a legitimate claim to the land.\n\nAnd still don't.

Your right, it must be a Texas thing as they like to brag; but that's what got them all killed in the Alamo.

one suggestion is to not overlook the question of slavery as it relates to the Alamo.  One of the things usually ignored in the great "struggle for Texan Independence" from oppressive Mexican dictator Santa Ana is that one of the main "oppressions" that really upset the Texicans was the fact that Mexico had abolished slavery and king cotton had reached Texas and the rich land owners were not willing to do without their slaves.

Don't forget to choose the best answer.\nWe are real people answering real questions with real answers so please show your appreciation by choosing the best answer!\n\n\nOnce a couple of texans were driving through Albuquerque.  When they stopped\nfor gas, the attendant noticed that their Cadillac (with the cow horns on the\nhood) was loaded down with camping gear.  The attendant asked where they were\nheading.  \n    "Wa-ill," Drawled the texan, "war a headin' up thuh Jay-may-ezz Mountin's"\n    "Excuse me,? Where?"\n    "Up thuh Jay-may-ezz Mountins, Nawrth of heah"\n    The attendant scratched his head.  "You know, I've lived here all my life\nand I have no idea where you're talking about."\n    "Wa-ill, if'n yuh go up tuh Burn-uh-lill-o, hang a laift, go up to \nSan-wy-sid-ruh, hang a right'n keep awn a goin', Yuh'll be in the jay-may-ezz\nMountins."\n    "OOOhhhh, I get it!  You see, here in New Mexico, we pronounce spanish \nnames with the spanish pronunciation.  A 'j' is pronounced like an 'h'; a \ndouble 'l' is pronounced like a 'y';  and 'y' and 'i' are pronounced like a \ndouble 'e'.  So, you're going up to Bernallilo (ber-nal-ee-yo), then San\nYsidro (san ee-seed-ro) and then up into the Jemez (Hey-mes) Mountains,"\nexplained the attendant.  "Anyway you guys look like you're loaded down, \nhow long are you gonna be up there?"\n    "Oh, war cummin' back sometime late Hune, early Huly."

Nope. he had the concept of damnation all wrong. God never wills for anyone to go to Hell. In fact, it pains him to see so many people go there. He want's everyone to be saved, but it is only by faith.

Scriptureman says:\n\nPsa 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

No.\n\nApperently god promised him that he would not dash a foot on the rocks.  Remember?  Satan reminded him of that when he was tempting him.  I was given no such promise.  I think Jesus could take the fall.

yes there lots of hispanic americans remember the alamo where we took the land from mexico? lot of those people stayed when the new border was established so they were actually here before you were. so next time you call one of them a wet back just stop and think he just might be more of a citizen than i'm myself.
