Episode Description 

On October 2, 1835, a little cannon in Gonzales fired the first shots of the Texas Revolution. It wasn’t a grand battle—it was a handful of settlers refusing to give in. But from that spark came a fire that changed history. Join Tweed Scott as he shares the story of the “Come and Take It” fight, the day the “hot war” began, and how courage often starts small but speaks loud.  

Show Notes 

In today’s episode of The T-Chromosome Daily, we travel back to October 2, 1835—the day Texas drew its first real line in the sand. The Battle of Gonzales, better known for the flag that said Come and Take It, was the spark that ignited the Texas Revolution. 

We’ll talk about: 

• Why a small town refused to surrender its cannon
• How a simple flag with bold words became a rallying cry for freedom
• The reminder that even small acts of courage can set history in motion

Reflection Nugget: Sometimes the most powerful stand doesn’t come from size or strength—it comes from refusing to back down when it matters.
