The Importance Of The San Jacinto Monument

The Battle of the Alamo is probably the most famous battle to take place in the history of, and in the state of, Texas. The battle has given Texans the will to persevere against tough odds and the courage to endure through seemingly impossible situations for many generations. Many a Texan would draw inspiration during the fights following the defeat at the Alamo. This inspiration eventually led them to victory during the Texas Revolution following the Battle of San Jacinto. Had the Texas military correctly utilized their intelligence and combat assets available to them at the time, they would have been able to properly reinforce the Alamo. This would have allowed Texan leadership to develop an effective strategy to defeat the Mexican army

The last scene cuts from the mass executing fields of San Jacinto, highlighting dead Mexican troopers to the extent the eye can see, to the famous figure of Davy Crockett fiddling on the mass of the Alamo. The gore at San Jacinto reviews the butcher at the Alamo and is all the more huge for its conveying Texas from the grip of the domineering Mexican general Antonio López de Santa Anna. The vanquishing of the brutal and ethically suspect corrupt Mexican pioneer brings into being the Texas republic. Overall, the film relates to history because of the battles fought during the Texas Revolution making the Alamo an iconic

The most stunning monument in our capital is the Washington Monument. At 555 feet high, it is the tallest such monument in the world. It is an obelisk by shape, yet not a true obelisk because it is not carved out of a single stone. The monument was built at intervals between 1848 and 1885. It memorializes George Washington's achievements and his devotion to principles and to his country.

The Alamo was originally built in 1744 as a mission church to try to convert Native Americans and Mexican Citizens to Christianity. The Alamo was build in present day San Antonio, Texas.

This was a war movie so it contained the violent scene of bombarding and murdering. Although it was illegal to have slaves in Texas but some did carry slave which violated the laws. As well as the film portrayed that the Mexicans are hard hearted, they were so rude in nature. The film was set in The Alamo. The movie set version of The Alamo chapel façade forward 30-40 feet more than exact structure. It was because the director wanted to show The Alamo chapel and interior of the fort in one shot. It was the largest and most expensive set which was overbuilt in North America which comes off 51 acres. The exterior scenes were shot in Texas between Jan-June 2003, near Austin. The film main scene of the Mexican attack on The Alamo was done under harsh weather conditions – battles scenes were shot in cold rain for hours to make scenes realistic. The costumes worn by two different parties were peculiar. The Texans wore long hat, coat, pant, and shoes whereas the Mexicans set of clothes were colorful, they worn clothes composed of different color like red, white, black, and white with peacock like a hat. And finally, I think that this important history is very much relevant in creating Texans who are living in this 21st century. This history helps Texans to be proud of their past and feel great for their

In the early 1700s the Spanish set up a mission in Texas to house local Native Americans and convert individuals to Catholicism. The mission was founded by Antonio de San Buenaventura, and was called the San Antonio de Valero Mission. The mission had three locations. The first was near San Pedro Creek, the second was closer to where it is today and the third location of the mission is where the Alamo stands today. Alamo expert, Melinda Tomerlin, of alamo.org says, “While this is the third spot for Mission San Antonio de Valero, it is the only place the 'Alamo ' has ever been” (Tomerlin). In 1793 the Spanish government seized control of many missions, including the San Antonio de Valero Mission. They wanted to secularize the missions, and in the 1800s Spanish troops were stationed in the abandoned mission because of its key location. The mission then became a fort. The soldiers of the fort nicknamed it "El Alamo" (meaning cottonwood) because the fort stood in an orchid of cottonwood trees. After Mexico 's victory in the war for independence from Spain, Mexican soldiers were stationed at the fort until after the

The siege, fall and ensuing massacre of nearly two hundred Alamo defenders at the hands of Mexican General, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna y Perez de Lebron’s army of over five thousand was a defining moment in both Texan, and American history. For 13 days against insurmountable odds, a small, but very determined Texan garrison force fended off an equally determined Mexican Army ordered to capture it. I’ll discuss the events and political climate leading up to the siege, key historic figures involved on both sides, the siege itself, along with events immediately following the battle.
