Texans didn't steal land from anyone. Santa Anna was a vicious dictator who killed more Mexicans than he ever killed Texans. After he abolished the constitution the Texans said "no thanks" and declared independance. Those Texans included men like Juan Seguin and Lorenzo de Zavala. That is why the heroes of the Alamo are so revered.
Beautiful Song that was on the soundtrack with the John Wayne version of The Alamo.
THE GREEN LEAVES OF SUMMER

lYRICS:
A time to be reapin',
a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.
'Twas so good to be young then,
in a season of plenty,
When the catfish were jumpin'
as high as the sky.
A time to be laughin'
a time to be livin'
A time to be courtin'
a girl of your own.
'Twas so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth,
And to stand by your wife
at the moment of birth.
A time to be reapin',
a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.
'Twas so good to be young then,
with the sweet smell of apples,
And the owl in the pine tree
a -winkin' his eye.
A time just for plantin',
a time just for ploughin'.
A time just for livin',
a place for to die.
'Twas so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth,
Now the green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.
