∙ 12y agoIt was a church and it was a much better church than a fort. Trying to defend a church turned into a fort was too much for it's defenders, who all died in the attempt.

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.

How did the outcome of the Alamo affect the rest of the Mexican-America war?
The Alamo was a battle fought during the Texas war of independence from Mexico (1835-1836), not during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). It didn't mean much to the final outcome of the war, as it was almost by any accounts a massacre: 2,400 Mexican troops killed all but two of 182-260 Texans at the Alamo. The battle has been used, however, as a symbol of the Texan Independence Movement with "Remember the Alamo!" as the battle cry with most significance.
