'Remember the Alamo! Remember the Goliad!'
The Texians (what they called themselves) shouted "Remember the Alamo!" and "Remember Goliad!"
the battle cry of the Texans was "Remember 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."
The actual battle was not really significant, but what it did was unite the Texans into a better army and give them a cry to drive them to the end, "Remember the Alamo!". The 100 Texans manning the Alamo were vastly outnumbered by 5,000. The garrison of Texans defending the Alamo lost the battle, but the Mexican Army paid dearly for their victory there. The Mexican forces were soundly defeated at San Jacinto where they lost the war.
The Battle of the Alamo was won by Mexico, but the War for Texas Independence was won by Texas and San Jacinto.
He was NOT there, but is remembered for a quick defeat of Santa Anna's Mexican Army at Jan Jacinto, Texas, shortly after the fall of the Alamo. His battle cry THERE was, "Remember the Alamo!". The Battle of San Jacinto gained Texas its independence from Mexico.
