The Alamo (as explained before) is/was in Texas, and is where a bunch of folks were killed by Mexican 'invaders'. Custer's last stand (ie; the battle of the Little Big-Horn) happened clear on the other end of the US, up close to where I live in Montana, about 100 miles from Canada. That's where Chief Sitting Bull and a boatload of other Indians who were fleeing from the Cavalry decided they had had enough of being chased. (They may have thought they were safely in Canada, but history is muddy at this point). When attacked they responded in like manner and killed Custer and his relatively speaking small band of soldiers. Nate
