"189 Texas patriots" is a really glorifyingly American way of stating that :D

Im sure they would be called troublmakers, seperatists or terrorists if they were from Mexico and the Americans killed them

Yeah, all history is written by the winners :)

I acknowledge that this quiz has a "glorifyingly American" way of stating things - there's nothing wrong with that as long as you recognize your biases, imo.
