The Alamo has fallen. With Goliad soon to be overrun, Houston is forced to make the painful decision to retreat in the face of a numerically superior enemy. With Mexican armies advancing and men deserting him at every turn. Houston has to keep the revolutionary spirit alive in these dark days of 1836, hoping to get a chance to turn the tide of war once and for all. Unable to match the Mexican forces toe to toe, Houston must keep retreating until his foe makes a mistake that he might be able to capitalize on. As he retreats east, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna follows in Houston's wake, driving away anybody who challenges his rule in Mexico. However, as he nears Louisiana, Santa Anna realizes he has a chance to end this rebellion once and for all by capturing the Texian government which is on the run as well. This wild goose chase will take him to the banks of the San Jacinto River, isolating him from the rest of his forces. If Santa Anna dallies longer than necessary, Houston might have a chance to force a battle with the Mexican dictator on terms that favor the Texians....

Good narrative, but Texans pronounce Bastrop and Bastrup. And for San Jacinto you technically pronounced it properly for Spanish, Texans pronounce the J rather than a hu sound.

A couple of additions: 1) Santa Anna was hated all over Mexico not only for his coup to establish his dictatorship but his brutality to anyone who opposed him (Re: Zacatecas). 2) He truly saw himself as the "Napoleon of the West" and (forgetting Napoleon's foray into Russia) since he felt that New Orleans had truly belonged to Spain (not France) and, by extension, Mexico, he planned to march east and capture the city (ignoring the swamps in between). Given the size of his army, IF he had made it, there is a good chance he could have captured it. Now held it is another thing.

@michaelstein7510 20 күн бұрын

Though it’s certainly fun to think about, I’m not sure there’s any realistic alternate scenario where Santa Anna could have captured New Orleans without a significantly larger force than he mustered for the Texas campaign. Around this time, New Orleans was the third largest city in the entire United States behind only New York and Philadelphia. The city had easily repulsed a much larger British force at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Other than a shared Catholic heritage, the locals of Louisiana (I’m one, myself) would not have reacted kindly to an attempted forced annexation to Mexico by Santa Anna. And that’s not even considering how the US government would have reacted. Personally, I think the outcome of the Mexican-American War was always inevitable, but the surprising success of the Texans in 1836 definitely sped up the timeline by a few decades. Santa Anna is certainly a fascinating man.

Mexico did send its army into the Republic of Texas after the revolution. In fact, the Mexican army captured San Antonio 3 times during the 9 years of the Republic of Texas. Repeatedly repelling the Mexican invasions was one of the major factors that bankrupted the republic of Texas and forced them to join the United States.

Sun Tzu famously said that men with no escape will fight to the death. Houston brought his men to a place where they could not escape, and the slaughters at the Alamo and Goliad showed the Texians that if they didn’t win, they would die. The result was a Texians army that would not surrender or back down.

You are giving the Arkansas/south of Dallas TX accent Sounds just like me but less twangy. Recognized it right off the bat listening to Maddy Morphosis and audio clips of myself

While it ended horribly, would you be willing to do the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition? Arguably this would bring the number of Flags over Texas to 7, instead of 6. Just as we count the failed rebellion of the Confederates, so too should this count. And it is much lesser known, but I think is extremely important.

Wrong. Majority of the men who fought in the Battle of the San Jacinto were not Texans. In fact, the majority were from Tennessee according to the San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield Association. Others came from Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana. Just the facts
