Why did Mexico fight the Alamo?
Santa Anna saw the Texans' resistance to his laws as treason. His army marched into Texas in the winter of 1835 to assert his authority.Texas Governor Henry Smith met with such other leaders as Austin and Sam Houston. They were busy trying to raise an army and form a government.The Texans knew that Santa Anna would come through San Antonio de Bexar. There was some argument that he should be resisted there. Others felt the Texans should withdraw to the coastal area.Houston, who was in charge of theTexas army, wanted the Alamo blown up. However, the commander there, James Neill, chose to stay and secure it.These preparations were just about complete when Santa Anna appeared near Bexar on February 23, 1836. Santa Anna appeared with an army that would eventually grow to 6,000 soldiers.Santa Anna looked toward the Alamoand saw a Mexican flag. The flag had 1824 across it. This signified the Texans loyalty to the old constitution that Santa Anna had eliminated.He demanded that the Texans surrender. However, they responded to the demand with a cannon shot.Santa Anna raised a red flag, which meant he would take no prisoners. He ordered his cannons to bombard theAlamo. His army surrounded the fort so that no one could escape.The commanders of theTexan forces inside the Alamo were William Travis and Jim Bowie. They knew they needed help. There were only 150 volunteers defending theAlamo. These volunteers included thefamous Davy Crockett.Travis sent out scouts and letters appealing for help. Small groups of brave men responded to Travis' calls for help.The final total of Texans inside the Alamo when thebattle started is unclear. Thegenerally accepted number is 182, although other estimates run as high as 257. In either case, the Texans were hopelessly outnumbered
Who were the Ui Neill?
the Ui Neill were hereditary chiefs of tyrone in ulster. they accepted the title Earl of Tyrone from the tudors and later went into exile with most of the other chieftains in 1605 after defeat in the 9 year war against elizabeth 1. That's incorrect. The O'NEILL accecpted the Earldom. The ancestors of the O'Neill family were called the Ui Neill, but this was not a surname, just a dynastic term. The O'Neills take their surname from an ancestor called Niall Glundubh (as far as I recall) who lived and died in the 10th century. It was his grandson or great-grandsons who first used the surname O'Neill. The term Ui Neill describes the descendants of Niall Niogaillach mac Eochagh Mughmeadon (died about 450), but, as I said, was simply a descriptive term used to denote them as descendants of Niall; surnames would not be used in Ireland until hundreds of years later.
