Episode Three explores the Battle of San Jacinto, a fight some historians have referred to as “one of the most one-sided victories in history.”
General Sam Houston and some 900 Texians faced Santa Anna’s approximately 1,300 troops on April 21, 1836, in what would ultimately decide the fate of Texas’ Independence.
“Forging Texas” is a compelling look at the lives, causes and passion for freedom that drove Texas and the Texans to independence—and then to greatness. The story of the Texas Revolution is just as relevant in 2020 as it was in 1836.
Watch Forging Texas episode one, Season of Revolution, and episode 2, Season of Defeat.
