And the Americans at the Alamo didn't abuse their superior firepower to kill hundreds of Indians, destroy the natural ecosystem for furs and kill dozens of Mexicans who lived in the areas that they wanted to declare independent??
Regardless of their warcrimes, they will be remembered as fighting for "their" country against an invading force and dieing doing so. If their government was still in place, in 50 years they would probably be seen as heroes.
