This is the worse example of revisionist history i have ever seen. They have an entire movie premised on white Texans stealing land from Mexicans because they wanted slaves. Ending the movie asking the question was it right for white men to seize Mexican land? This ignores the factual history that these white men outnumbered Mexicans ten to one in the area and they wanted their own government (much like Mexico had declared their independence from spain). It also misses the mark in that only 1 to 2 % of Texans owned slaves and yet it paints it as being their major disagreement. Finally it ignores Mexico starting a war with America, and sullys the brave men who fought and won that war. Why these revisionists only want to target white people (it mentions the term whites on multiple occasions) but not other slave owners in that region (native Americans owned most slaves in texas) is beyond me. The other half of the exibits are about the 1960s, NONE OF IT IS ABOUT JEFFERSON, THE MAN IT WAS BOUGHT TO HONOR
