He Was Not Right

"David Crockett (17 August 1786 – 6 March 1836), usually referred to as Davy Crockett, was an American frontiersman, soldier, and politician. After serving as a US Congressman for the state of Tennessee, he joined in the Texas Revolution and died in the Battle of the Alamo." (link)

"All of the combatants inside the Alamo during the 1836 battle knew that they were fighting for the institution of slavery, as surely as they knew they were fighting for Mexican land." (link)

Davy Crockett was not an "American Hero" and the stories of independence for Texas and the Alamo essentially were myths in support of colonialism, Manifest Destiny, and slavery.
