At what battle did the Mexican Army surrender to the Texans?

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."


Where did the Texans defeat the Mexicans after the Battle of the Alamo?

San Jacinto.


What was the final outcome of the battle of the alamo?

The fall of the Alamo, the slaughter of the Texans after they surrendered, the slaughter of the Texans at Goliad; all these factors inspired the Texans to fight harder for independence, defeat General Santa Ana, and free the territory from under the control of Mexico. After all, when the Mexicans showed they had a "no prisoner's taken" policy, it does inspire a person not to surrender when they know they Will be killed if they surrender.


Which side won during the battle at the Alamo?

the texans _____________________________ The battle of the Alamo was a tactical defeat for the Texans, who were slaughtered to the last man. However, nobody ever expected the Texans to win the battle; it was a holding action, designed to delay the Mexican army under General Santa Ana. During the two weeks while the Mexican army was attacking the defenders at the Alamo, the main force of the Texan army under Sam Houston was assembling. The delay at the Alamo proved deadly to the Mexican army, which was routed at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later. Additionally, the viciousness of the Mexican army at the Alamo and at Goliad (under Santa Ana's orders, they had executed any prisoners) inflamed the Texan soldiers who overran the Mexican forces and returned the favor.


What the Texans did to defeat the Mexican troops?

Total surprise. At the Battle of San Jacinto, General Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, let his troops take a siesta because he believed that the Texans wouldn't attack until the morning. He was wrong. The Texans attacked in the middle of the Mexican troops' siesta.

The Battle of the Alamo was a defeat at the hands of General Santa Anna who surrounded the Alamo Mission and killed most of the defenders inside. The defeat was heroic, however, and the Alamo became famous as a symbol of Texas courage and bravery. The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution which ended in a Texan victory, not defeat.
