Texas fought two wars for the right to own slaves.

In the blockbuster classic John Wayne Alamo, Jim Bowie frees his slave, who then volunteers to stay and fight and dies defending is former master.

In the Ron Howard flop remake, Jim Bowie dismisses his slave, who then asks “Does this mean I am free?”, to which Bowie replies “No, you’re still my property, you are to go report to my family.”
