How James Bowie died?
James Black, a blacksmith, created the bowie knife for Jim Bowie himself. After Jim died at the alamo, everyone said they wanted "Jim Bowie's knife." So James started to make them behind his leather curtain, keeping the process from everyone, even though on his deathbed he wanted to share the process with a friend, but couldn't remember how he made it. To sum everything up, No. Jim Bowie used the knife that James Black made, and the knife became popular after Bowie's death at the Alamo. Bowie fanatics (including me) love the knives, and feel like it is an amazing part of Texan history. Bowie's heroism caused the knife to become well known across the country, and that is why the name is the "Bowie knife," because it was the knife Jim used the most.
Was the man from the Alamo a true story?

Is there any reason for the battle of the Alamo happening on 1836?
The reason for the Alamo happening in 1836 is because that was the time they decided to fight, and freedom from Mexico is why. Back then, Texas was part of Mexico. They wanted freedom from Mexico, which means they wanted to be independent like most of the north eastern states. This was a little bit before 1836. They started planning . They had a battle a few years before for there freedom from mexico. They lost, and then the battle of the Alamo came in.
How did Jim Bowie contribute to the Battle of the Alamo?
The knife Jim Bowie carried has been lost to history. We can deduce from available information what the knife probably looked like but we will never know for certain what happened to the knife he carried. Jim Bowie apparently died in his room and this makes it likely that the knife was picked up by some one whose name has been lost to history. The knife was of good quality so it would not likely been thrown away.

How did the outcome of the Alamo affect the rest of the Mexican-American war?
This sounds like a trick question: the Alamo fell nearly a decade BEFORE the Mexican War. The Mexican War pitted the USA against Mexico (April/May 1846-Feb 1848); the Alamo was part of the Texas war for independence from Mexico (Alamo: Feb-March 1836). That question is sort of like asking "how did the outcome of the Battle of Verdun affect the rest of WWII?" True, but I think the question is how did the Alamo affect the outcome of the Texas Revolution and in that respect the outcome at the Alamo leaves Santa Ana overconfident and he splits his forces in front of Sam Houston leading to a defeat at San Jacinto.
Who was in charge of the American army in the Battle of the Alamo?
