What is the purpose or significance of the Alamo?
The Alamo's purpose is when an army battled in the Alamo. The Alamo was a Spanish fort used to defend the village San Antonio from the Indians. It later became the site of a battle for Texas' independence from Mexico. Within the fort is an old Spanish mission (San Antonio de Valero) which is now called the Alamo.
Why did the Alamo occur?
The purpose of the Alamo in 1836 was to offer resistance to the Mexican Army and keep it occupied, so that General Houston and the Texan Army would have time to mobilize. It should be remembered that travel and communication were slower in those days, and Texas had no standing army with which to match the might of the Mexican Army; the largest and toughest army in the Western Hemisphere at that time. The correct thing for Santa Anna to do would have been to surround the Alamo with siege forces and move his mobile forces on to crush Texan revolt elsewhere, but Santa Anna's pride and ego worked against him. He would not be seen leaving any site where a rebellious Texan flag was flying. The two weeks of resistance at the Alamo were not much, but they proved to be enough, and the sacrifice of the Alamo was not in vain.
