Antonio Lopez De Santa Ana
Santa Anna was the leader of the Mexicans at the Alamo.
By the time of the final assault, there were around 6000 troops attacking the Alamo.
The decisive defeat in Texas was at the Battle of San Jacinto led by Sam Houston defeating Mexican General Santa Ana in a surprise attack. This battle occurred after the devastating defeat of the Texans at the Alamo by the same general Santa Ana. Houston himself lost many friends and even a relative of his wife, Mary, at the Alamo. Houston's troops were rallyed by the cry, "Remember the Alamo."
Santa Ana's troops killed Bill Travis, Commander of the Alamo at the time, also James Bowie, known for his Bowie Knife and of course the ever favorite David (Davey) Crockett. They killed all but 3 people a slave, a woman and a third who no one knows that day.
