Tejanos (Future Mexican-Americans) and Texicans (white Texans) fought against the government of Mexico. I don't know who the good or bad guys were in that battle.

The government of Mexico certainly wasn't "good"..LOL The white Texans wanted their slaves. The Tejanos (like Juan Seguin) were in-between and had already established local governments. He would become a future state senator and mayor of San Antonio. Most Tejanos joined with the white Texans in that battle.

I really don't think there were any good guys in that battle....

Tejanos tended to fight for the confederacy in the civil war. Although, it doesn't appear they played a major role. But when they served, it appears they were mostly with the confederacy.

It is what it is......
