The Alamo Feb 23-March 6, 1836

Important People Texas: Davy Crockett William B. Travis James Bowie 190 Texans (approx) Mexico: Santa Anna 2400 MX soldiers (approx)

Information The mission San Antonio de Valero (Alamo) was built in 1718 Santa Anna was furious when Cos surrendered San Antonio Bexar and was determined to punish Texas.

Information William B. Travis wrote several letters asking for help and never got any. William B. Travis said: “ Give me Victory or Give me Death!” Mexico killed almost all Texans at the Alamo

Significance Many battles were fought in San Antonio because it was a strategic access route to the Texas settlements. Battle Cry = “Remember the Alamo” was adopted to honor Texans who died in the Alamo

Significance Texas lost but it actually helped Texas because… Santa Anna lost many of his most skilled soldiers Gave TX time to form a government bc MX was fighting Alamo for almost 2 weeks Death of EVERYONE made Texans more determined to win independence…REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
