180 Years ago today, the battle for the Alamo ended The Alamo Mission outside of San Antonio was base to 100 Texan soldiers under colonel James C. Neill. Aware that an attack was inbound, General Sam Houston sent Colonel James Bowie with 30 men to remove the artillery from the Alamo and destroy the building. However, Bowie wasn't able to transport the weapons due to the lack of mules, so Neill and Bowie agreed to defend the Alamo or die trying. On February 3, 1836, Cavalry Officer William B. Travis arrived with 30 men as reinforcements. On February 8th, a small group of volunteers including U.S. Congressman David Crockett arrived to help. Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna his army of 2,000 reached the Alamo on February 23, 1836. The soldiers raised a blood red flag, signifying that there would be no prisoners. After Captain Albert Martin's unsuccessful negotiations, Bowie and Travis ordered the Texans to fire the cannons. The next day Bowie became seriously ill and had to stay in bed, leaving Travis in sole command. By march 1st, 9 Mexicans were dead with 4 wounded with 1 Texan dead. However, Santa Anna received 600 more troops while the Texan soldiers were unable to receive aid because the Mexicans had the Alamo surrounded and complete control of San Antonio. Colonel James Fannin attempted to organize a rescue mission with his men from Goliad and volunteers from Gonzales, but he aborted the mission. On March 3rd, more Mexican reinforcements arrive, bringing the Mexican force to about 3,100. At 5:30 AM, March 3rd, the Mexican army began its siege on the Alamo. After an hour of brutal combat, at 6:30 the battle was over and a Mexican flag flew over head. An estimated 600 Mexicans died in the assault(about 1/3rd of the attackers) and all but 6(1 escaped and 5 surrendered) Texans soldiers lost their life(about 200 is estimated). On March 11th, when Houston reached Gonzales while en-route to San Antonio, he learned of the defeat at the Alamo. The Battle instantly became a rallying cry to Texan soldiers and civilians. Many American upon learning of the battle left to join the Texas Army. After the Battle of San jacinto, Houston told Santa Anna "You should have remembered the Alamo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAMZQlAQAyQ
