where the legendary cry, ‘’Remember the Alamo!’’ originated from. The Alamo still stands tall today and is visited by many each year, and represents the Texan soldier’s heroic opposition to injustice versus the government of Mexico. The Battle of San Jacinto was the shortest and final confrontation of the Texas Revolution. This resulted in a Texan victory, and an overall win for the Texian soldiers as they wash away Mexico with their statement of independence. The Texas Revolution was a conflict

was laid to rest by the Mexican Congress. Attempts at independence were silenced for the time being and the elections of 1835 proceeded forward. With Santa Anna moving to control Mexico, and taxes increasing, Texans grew restless and rowdy. A Texan, William B. Travis and a small group of Texans attacked a squad of Mexican troops in Anahuac with the motive that “taxes should not

its independence from Mexico on March 2, 1836. Before Texas annexed with the United States on December 29, 1845, it was an independent state with 9 years of being free from Mexico . Although Mexico never acknowledged Texas to secede from them, the Texans and the United States did so the U.S. decided to add Texas as the 28th state. After Texas gained its independence from Mexico, Mexico still believed Texas was a part of them but the United States proceeded to annex Texas because Texas was already

Alamo “As Texans began firing at the enemy, deadly shrapnel cut through the columns of advancing Mexican soldiers and killed and injured many.” (Bredson 10). The Alamo was a deadly battle in the 1830s over the independence of Texas from Mexico. The Alamo was a battle between the Mexicans, and the Texans. The battle was fought over things such as slavery and to break independence. (The Alamo, Why Did It Happen? Paragraph 2). The battle started on February 23, 1836 to March 6, 1836. The Texans wanted

Roell provides in-depth reasons for Fannin’s delay in retreating to Victoria that ultimately lead to the massacre of hundreds of Texans and volunteers in the battle for independence from Mexico. The significance of the Texan military holding on to Goliad was overshadowed by the massacre that provided a second reason beyond the Alamo in sparking a fire compelling many Texans to defeat Santa Ana in San Jacinto. Soldiers defeated Santa Ana proclaiming “Remember the Alamo” and “Remember Goliad”. While

Before the time of Texas declaring independence, the Texans had a very difficult time living within the brutal hands of the Mexicans. With the Mexican government making laws that go completely against Texas’ desires and practiaclly strpping away all of what the people of Texas know, a spark was created for independence. Without independence for Texas, there would be barely any way to make money since slavery was illegal, the Texans would continue to be miserable with the aggressive laws, and the

result of that, Texans were fully supportive of him. When he nullified the 1824 Constitution and tried to form a more centralized government, this angered many Texans, who were in support of Texas self-rule. Texans wanted Mexico to allow immigration from around the US. They also wanted to be exempt from anti-slavery laws. Soon after, Mexico repealed the law but didn’t grant statehood to Texas. Conflict between the Texans and Mexico got worse. As the population continued to grow, Texans pushed for statehood

history as well. The battle of the Alamo started in February of 1836 and ended in March of 1836, lasting less than two weeks’ total. The battle was between the Mexican army and the rebelling Texans. The Mexican army was led by the Mexican President and General, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, while the rebelling Texans were led by Lt. Colonel William Travis, Jim Bowie, and David Crockett. The battle of the Alamo happened to be one of the most pivotal points in the Texas Revolution causing both countries

Mexican-populated, and to decrease this overflow of immigration, slavery was banned. Many Texans were angered at this supposed limitation of rights because it seemed to them as if their way of life was being purposefully destroyed. Additionally, as the fight for independence was apparently “led by the slaveholders of this country…” it was quite possible that the ban on slavery was the primary reason for several Texans to seek independence (Doc D). However, it is much less feasible that this was so because

I think so because Mexico was not following their constitution, the Texans did not speak the Spanish language, and Santa Anna sorta dictated Mexico. The first reason Texas was justified in declaring independence was that Mexico was not following the Constitution of 1824.The Constitution of 1824 stated that “the government…shall be divided for its exercise in three powers.” (Doc. A) Mexico’s government was set up as “the form of Republican representative, popular federal.” (Doc. A) President Bustamante
