The Battle of the Alamo, was part of the struggle for Texans to take back Texas from Mexico, and create an independent American State of Texas.
It was the place they made texas independent.
General Sam Houston defeated General Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. This defeat won the Texas Revolution, allowing Texas to be independent from Mexico.
The purpose for the Battle of the Alamo is that Mexico was pursuing north into Texas to fight the Texans. The Texans had declared their independence from the U.S. and Mexico. Mexico though didn't see Texas as an independent country so the Texans rebelled. The Battle of the Alamo was basically for the independence for Texas. Although we lost that battle we won the war and up until The Battle at San Jacinto, Mexico didnt view us as an independent nation.
Texas would later have another battle, the battle of san jacinto that ended the war. santa Anna surrendered and recognized Texas as an independent nation. (Texas became a country for a couple of yeras before joining the u.s. )
General Sam Houston defeated General Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. This defeat won the Texas Revolution, allowing Texas to be independent from Mexico.
It was part of the war of independence of the Republic of Texas from Mexico. While the Texicans (as they were called at the time) lost the battle, they delayed the Mexican army for long enough for Sam Houston to get his army ready to win the next battle and the war. To the extend a battle can declare something, it declared the determination of Texas to become independent.
