Best Answer

They were Mexican citizens who lived in Texas, which was then a province of Mexico, and they opposed Santa Anna in favor of independence for Texas. Because the triumvirate (Travis, Bowie, Crockett) of leaders at the Alamo came from the United States originally, the war is often seen as a cultural clash between American homesteaders and Mexican opressors. This is not entirely true as the Tejanos considered Texas their home and were willing to fight Mexico to the death for it.
