In 1836 at San Jacinto.
At the Alamo in 1836.
No, the Texans bought some time for the other American troops, but were defeated at the Alamo.
Santa Ana was the ruler of Mexico, so the Mexican army was on his side.
After the Battle of Goliad, about 400 rebel Texans surrendered to the Mexican army.
In pursuit of Sam Houston's army, Santa Anna split his army into three columns. He hoped to trap the Texan army, but instead, his main force was drawn into battle at San Jacinto, and defeated in eighteen minutes. Santa Anna himself was captured.
They were simply outnumbered by General Santa Anna's Mexican army.
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."
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.
Only nine Texans, and hundreds of Mexicans died.Hannah
Toward the end of 1835, Texans believed they could defeat Santa Anna's troops due to a combination of factors. They were inspired by their recent victories, such as the capture of San Antonio, which boosted morale and confidence in their cause. Additionally, they felt a strong sense of determination and unity among the Texan forces, driven by their desire for independence. The Texans also relied on the strategic advantage of their knowledge of the local terrain, which they believed would aid them in combat against the Mexican army.
