After the fall of Bexar, the Texians are unsure of what they should do next, carry the war south to Mexico or hold the line in Texas. The government and military leaders of the Texas Revolution are divided on what to do next, so Governor Smith orders Houston, the Commander in Chief, to make a demonstration against the river town of Matamoros. As various units proceed south to the rendevous point, they take everybody and everything that can be spared. However, as the expedition proceeds south, infighting occurs amongst the officer corps, the council, and the leaders, killing the expedition before it can fully take off. Just as the Texians are sent into a state of confusion, Santa Anna, who has been preparing an army to march north into Texas, arrives in Bexar and pushes the skeleton garrison of Bexar back to the confines of the dilapidated compound called the Alamo. Realizing how outnumbered he is, William B Travis, the commander of the Alamo, writes a call for help to save him and his men from the much larger Mexican force in Bexar. For the moment, this tiny garrison has to hold out against a much larger foe. In the meantime, various units rally to march to their comrade's aid while the Texian government in Washington, TX declares independence from Mexico and forms the Republic of Texas. Will Travis' comrades be able to arrive to assist him in his time of need, watch the video to find out!

One defender did survive the Alamo. His name was Brigido Guerrero, and he was a deserter of General Cos's command at some point in 1835. When all hope seems lost at the Alamo, Guerrero locked himself in a cell. Mexican troops approached and Guerrero was able to convince them he was a prisoner of the Texians. He was spared. After the war, Guerrero applied for, and received a land grant for his service in the Texian army. His application and written testimony still exists in the Texas archives, where in it says he concealed himself in order to survive.

I believe Travis conducted himself well with what little resources he had; making the best fight that could be made. However, the fight for the mission was no pushover for the Mexican soldiers. One soldier, who took part in the assault in the north wall, reported the musket and cannon fire from the wall was so intense that he was forced to lie flat on the ground for 3/4 of an hour until his comrades were finally able to get to the top and dispatch the defenders with bayonets.

Excellent research and presentation. The fact that your Alamo picture does not have its iconic hump is highly important in your attention to detail. The original Alamo did not have a roof or a hump. The roof was added much later when the Alamo was used for storage by Ft. Sam Houston. The hump is part of the ached roof system that was installed later. Spot on details. The Alamo is made from limestone that is abundant in San Antonio not the adobe mentioned in the song, movies and The History Channel video. I grew up in San Antonio and took Texas history in the 7th grade and had to memorize and recite Travis’ letter along with the entire class one at a time. Texas and Texans take their history seriously and it is taught as a required course. I wish I had your videos in the 7th grade.

I always find it fascinating that it will never be known if Davy Crockett died in the battle, or was executed like you have said in this video. Easily one of the most interesting men in history.

What is interesting about his execution was that Santa Anna was so incensed about his officers taking Texan prisoners, which he strictly prohibited, that he ordered them to draw their swords and dispatch the surviving defenders themselves. They said that none of the Texans made a sound of pain and died with dignity; Crockett being among them.

@SolidAvenger1290 4 ай бұрын

Stonewall Jackson was most likely the exception. He saw that Gen Lee and his fellow commanders, who also played a role in the American-Mexican War, were missing the bigger point about how to win the Civil War. During the Mexican War, at the Battle of Chapultepec, he refused his superior's orders to withdraw and proved his point that US troops took advantage of a gap in the Mexican army's lines. During the Civil War, he understood that the CSA couldn't match the Union's vast manpower and technological industry. So, he took inspiration from Napoleon Bonaparte's success in the 1804-5 campaign against the Coalition, which later led to the success/victory at Austerlitz. Jackson's maneuvers in the early 1862 campaign were a success for the CSA, given how he knew the terrain, strengths, and weaknesses of his Union counterparts (e.g., how they didn't protect their flanks or rears, etc.). It was a more modern Napoleonic military blitzkrieg of surprise and maneuver. Jackson pressed his army to travel 646 miles in 48 days of marching and won five significant victories with a force of about 17,000 CSA men against a combined force of 60,000 Union troops. Hannibal Barca would also be impressed by Jackson's success. His death in 1863 doomed the CSA, and Lee only knew how to act like General Wellington during the entire war. Returning back to your comment, Lee & the rest of the CSA leadership didn't know how to win the war outside of Jackson. George Patton, in WW2, idolized Jackson for knowing how to sense an opportunity for victory despite losing a battle but not the war.

the problem is, the war wasnt fought over slavery, it was a war between a dictator who overturned the constitution of 1824, killing those who opposed him, ransacking states, and executing anybody he captured. The Texas Revolution came out of a nationwide revolt against Santa Anna. The Anglo colonist were trying to cordially work with the Mexican government but they were jailed and ignored in their attempts. Realizing that no peaceful resolution will come, they finally decided to declare independence.

It would’ve, the walls of the Alamo were not made to withstand an artillery bombardment from his light pieces he had on hand, the siege guns would’ve completely destroyed the walls if they were used. This would’ve given the Mexicans an easier time storming the fortifications if and when they attacked. No really, as he vastly outnumbered the Anglos, but of course he had to make sure his flanks and rear were covered and scouted just in case any Anglo reinfocrments arrived

The stories of Crockett being taken prisoner are speculation. Suzanna Dickinson who was in the Alamo & survived the battle knew Crockett and stated she had seen his body outside the entrance to the Chapel. Mexican Lt. Col. José Enrique de la Peña stated a tall frontiersman was taken prisoner and assumed it to be Crockett. Suzanna Dickinson's account contradicts this as she knew Crockett and saw him dead inside the Alamo.

@WarhawkYT 4 ай бұрын

True, however Dickinson did not leave her hiding place until after all the defenders were dead, giving credence to the idea that Crockett was executed before she left the Alamo. Nobody truly knows the fate of Crockett but I went with the one most plausible as him being captured and executed.

@Springdds 2 ай бұрын

⁠@@WarhawkYTthe preponderance of evidence is in favor of the capture-execute hypothesis. De la Peña’s scripts have been shown to be from the paper used int he 1830s in the Mexican army and the writing style is consistent with those used in the army at the time. He likely would have also known either from eyewitness or interrogation who was there. I think the idea of capture is anathema to many Crockett loyalists but I think that is a silly moot point. The point is the man fought as hard as he could, did well, stayed until the end, and whether he went down fighting or was excecuted after surrender is irrelevant as he in the end perished for his cause, and deserves the same respect regardless. It wasn’t like he was the only survivor released on Mexican mercy after everyone else perished.
