What did Sam Houston do in the Battle of San Jacinto?
Sam Houston's plan to defeat the Mexican Army was first to let the Mexican Army greatly reduce its own numbers through its own incompetence. Sam Houston did not reinforce the Alamo. He did not have the army to defeat Santa Ana at that point. He did not send reinforcements to Goliad. He did not have the troops to spare. In capturing those two outposts, the Texans lost several hundred solders. The Mexicans lost thousands. The lack of sanitation caused the loss of several thousand more. When Santa Anna finally caught up with Houston, he had a sick army. Houston pretended to prepare defensive works while Santa Anna let his troops siesta. Houston attacked a sleeping army. Santa Anna was captured in his pajamas.

Why did Sam Houston send Jim Bowie to the Alamo?
General Sam Houston did not yet have enough soldiers under his command to relieve the Alamo, so he sent orders for Colonel James Fannin to do it, as Fannin had the largest Texan force available at that time. Fannin complied with the order, but two of his wagons slipped their wheels, and he returned to Fort Defiance. After the Alamo was taken by the Mexican Army, Fannin surrendered Fort Defiance without a fight, whereupon he and his entire command were put to death by the Mexican Army; the infamous Goliad Massacre. Although Fannin was one of the agitators of the Texan Revolution at Gonzales, he may have been too hestitant to engage Mexico after the Revolution began. He had only 400 Texan troops against 1500 Mexican troops. Houston, although he certainly wanted to help the Alamo, had not even as many troops as Fannin had. As the commander of an army which did not exist yet, Houston had to think strategically, which sometimes means cutting off a finger to save a hand. The Alamo was the finger, and Texas was the hand.

Which side won during the battle at the Alamo?
the texans _____________________________ The battle of the Alamo was a tactical defeat for the Texans, who were slaughtered to the last man. However, nobody ever expected the Texans to win the battle; it was a holding action, designed to delay the Mexican army under General Santa Ana. During the two weeks while the Mexican army was attacking the defenders at the Alamo, the main force of the Texan army under Sam Houston was assembling. The delay at the Alamo proved deadly to the Mexican army, which was routed at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later. Additionally, the viciousness of the Mexican army at the Alamo and at Goliad (under Santa Ana's orders, they had executed any prisoners) inflamed the Texan soldiers who overran the Mexican forces and returned the favor.
