Best Answer

The Battle started because the correct moment had arrived. One third of Santa Anna's Army was scattered across Texas protecting his supply route, One third of his Army was in search of the Texas government and to far away to support Santa Anna. Santa Anna's forces were having their afternoon siesta after a long march, and as was normal attacks always begin in the early morning hours and the time was then 4:30 in the afternoon.

The terrain was favorable, the Mexican cavalry was dismounted and Sam Houston's Force was at its peak.

General Santa Anna?

Santa Anna was the leader of Mexico during the Texas Revolution and the Mexican-American War. When Texas wished independence from Mexico, Santa Anna mobilized troops. Most famous of the battles in the Texas Revolution was the Alamo, where Santa Anna killed everyone on the opposing side. He was, however, defeated in the end and Texas gained independence. When Texas was annexed to the United States, however, Santa Anna was mad again, and attacked when President Polk walked American troops into disputed territories. Led primarily by General Winfield Scott, the Americans thrashed the Mexicans and Santa Anna was wrenched from power.
