No pun intended - this is American History ... this is a war they fought and maybe one of the biggest ones in their short history (the US we know that is, not the one the native Americans build before the Europeans and others came over). Having said that, I am not a history buff and I had no idea who the people (characters were) ... on either side. Though we mostly see the American side of things (would have been nice to see a bit more of the Mexican perspective).
A great cast round everything up - the fighting for Freedom and all that "Jazz" or whatever you would call it. It did age a bit (certain society stuff, you shouldn't be too sensitive about), but it will be up to you how you judge them. Like many movies back then, one shot one kill applies here too. Suspend your disbelief, this should not worry you too much.
John Wayne is a great actor - I reckon he really wanted to get behind the camera for this one. He did a good job, was around many great directors to pick a few things up. I can't attest to the historical accuracy (as stated before and above), but the suspense works quite fine for the movie ... I reckon even if you know how this will end ...
