"My state" was Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky. Take your pick.
I was in three different elementary schools (no, it wasn't because of being a discipline problem. ha), all in different school systems, growing up. Different school systems have different years when they cover different subjects (I feel like I got a double (triple?) dose of some things, while missing some subjects altogether. That's possibly the case with the M-A for me. I feel like I missed a lot of grammar; I know that I missed out on Alabama history, Georgia history, and Kentucky history, just because of the way that things worked out).
Texas is next door to Mexico, and once was a part of Mexico. Could that not make a difference in the curriculum in the school system(s) that you were in???

Nueces River, Goliad, Alamo, San Jacinto.
The major reason for the war was the River, Texas wanted to the Rio Grande and Mexico wanted to the Nueces River.
So yes I am pretty sure location is the reason, it was heavily covered.
Note: Bowie and Crockett are schools here. Along with Goliad, San Jacinto and Alamo.
Winfield Scott was the ancestor.
