The Battle of the Alamo was fought in 1836 during the Texas Revolution. After Mexicans forces surrendered to Texans in San Antonio, General Santa Anna led an army across the Rio grande to crush the Texan rebellion. His army targeted a former Mexican garrison, now occupied by Texans, known as the Alamo. Would the Texans be successful again or would the Mexicans take revenge?

I went to the alamo recently. Alot of the walls are actually still there. It was amazing.

@duanedavis27 4 жыл бұрын

the chapel is still there, and the bottom floor of the long barracks. The other walls that are there are incorrect. The chapel was in the southwest corner, facing the inside of the fort. As it currently stands, the chapel faces "outside" the walls. The actual Alamo walls ran roughly along the sidewalk across the street from the chapel, north and then turns west about 30ft inside of the existing Post Office along that street.

People who have visited the Alamo have said how much smaller it is than what they had imagined - personally, I was surprised at how big it was, and impressed by the great history of the place and what happened there; there was a sign that said, "Gentlemen, remove your hats", or something like that, and you just do it because you are struck with a sense of reverence for the sacrifice those men made. Visiting there was a very emotional experience for me.

Somewhat erroneous account. The Anglo settlers from the U.S. were originally invited in by Spain because they owned Mexico and the Mexicans could not deal with the 35,000 Comanches who were attacking their ranches and driving off their horses and cattle. While the Anglos were organizing the large numbers of families needed to tame this huge and hostile land, Mexico revolted and got freedom from Spain. Mexico claimed Texas but allowed the settlers in anyway. Mexico treated new settlers badly and imprisoned them. Then they tried to disarm them. That lead to all out war. Which Texas won in the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, by capturing the Mecican president Santa Anna. Later, Mexico never recognized the existence of a free Texas and invaded Texas even after Texas became a free Republic and later joined into the US in 1845. This invasion lead to the Mexican-American War. Lying leftard revisionist so-called historians paint the opposite picture and say Sam Houston came to Texas to start the war and he had a big US army waiting in Louisiana to join the fight against Mexico. Only there never was shred of evidence that ever happened. Just like they have LIED & LIED that Donald Trump was goung to give the US to Russian, there was never any evidence for that either. Just LIES.

The Texans knew that their defense would likely fail without support, yet they chose to stay and give their lives to delay Santa Anna. One man from France couldn't bear to die and left. Legend has it that Colonel Travis then drew his sword and marked a line in the sand, saying that anyone who also wished to leave could cross the line and leave without judgement since every Texan defender was likely to die. Nobody crossed the line.

To Retro Sim. Louis Rose was a former officer (lieutenant) of the Napoleonic Great Army who survived the disastrous campaign in Russia and Waterloo. Knowing from his military experience that the defenders could'nt resist the Mexicans he considered that Houston needed more living fighters than dead heroes and at night he left the presidio. He was'nt a coward, just a man of commun sense. I remind you that Houston ordered Travis to withdraw from The Alamo considered indefensible. Greetings from France.

Paul Maxwell. It came from the Spanish American War. They were singing "Green Grow the Lilacs" which was a very popular song in the US. I don't know if those in the Alamo did a lot of singing. They had a very serious job on their hands.

@fearlessfosdick160 3 жыл бұрын

The word, gringo, is most likely a corruption of the Spanish word, griego, which means "Greek". It was a way of referring to a person who spoke in a way that was difficult or impossible to understand. For example, a person who is speaking in an incomprehensible way is still said in Mexico to "hablar en griego", meaning to speak in Greek.

I have family from Texas, but even more so from Tennessee... I didn’t hear about the volunteers under Jim Bowie or, especially, the volunteers from Tennessee lead by Davy Crockett... a former member of the US House of Representatives; which is an important note; because, when the US got involved prior to the US War with Mexico, a LOT of volunteers came from Tennessee! So, the battles cry was taken up, “Remember the Alomo” and “Remember Davy Crockett.”

@greenwave819 2 жыл бұрын

Yes sir, I'm glad you addressed this. The Vols... quite literally there based on their choice to sacrifice their lives for the freedom of others, fought with unrelenting vigor and the Mexican army would have much preferred to have retreated.

Bowie died in his sick bed (suffering from TB I believe) when the Mexicans broke in and bayoneted him multiple times. Travis died in the early hours before sunrise by a bullet to the head. Crockett was killed in front of the chapel. However, some believe that Crockett was captured along with several others only to be executed.
