in a darker preserve it is dark
16:35
the story of texas can get a look just
16:37
a little too polished it was a conquest and
16:39
people polished that there were people here the
16:43
spanish and mexican authorities wanted
16:45
to exterminate the patches they created
16:47
the society for the extermination in the barbarians
16:50
so the classic i waited in film oh
16:52
so hungry indians a was
16:55
not really the case well they took steps
16:57
to was a kind of learn from the england and
17:00
then when the texas came in and then intensified if
17:02
you were a ranch in coming out here in the were
17:04
seventies you better have coming out of guns
17:07
because you are an invader or
17:10
