Battle for the AlamoIn the 1830s, more and more people from Texas were upset with Mexico.

They didn’t like the way Mexico was ruling Texas. Texans were beginning to talk about seeking independence from Mexico. A general from Mexico decided to stop the Texans from making plans to get their independence. His name was Santa Anna. He led an army of 4,000 soldiers to stop the Texans. A group of Texans in San Antonio was attacked. They went to the Alamo for safety. The Alamo was a Spanish mission that had been left empty. But the Mexican army continued its attack. After 12 days of fighting, the Texans, who were far fewer in number than the Mexicans, ran out of bullets. The Mexican soldiers began climbing the walls. A battle took place inside. Soldiers fought hand to hand. Over 1,500 Mexican soldiers were killed. All but seven of the Texans were killed, and Mexico took back control. Though they lost, this battle helped the Texans eventually gain their independence and led to the inspirational cry, “Remember the Alamo!”
