- SynopsisThe following statement appears after the opening credits: 'In the year of our Lord, 1836, Texas, which has known many flags, was then under the colours of Mexico. Though its inhabitants were made up of settlers from far countries and all parts of the United States, they were Mexican citizens all. Generalissimo Santa Anna was sweeping north across Mexico toward them, crushing all who opposed his tyrannical rule. They now faced the decision that all men in all times must face ... the eternal choice of men ... to endure oppression or to resist.' (Synopsis)
