Who had Texas before the US?

Texans had Texas before the U.S. got Texas and if you ask any Texan it was not the State of Texas that joined the Union but the Union that wisely joined with Texas. Before Texans had Texas it was Mexicans who lost Texas to a bunch of rambunctious and wild Texans such as Sam Huston and other Americans such as Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie and Kit Carson. Remember the Alamo? Actually Davey, Jim and Kit all died at the Alamo as that battle was lost to General Santa Ana. But that victory for Mexico ultimately became their defeat as Texans used the loss at the Alamo as a battle cry towards victory.

What role did David Crockett play in the Battle of the Alamo?

Davy Crocket went to Texas to help the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico. He led a company of 65 American volunteers, mostly from his home state of Tennessee. They arrived at the Alamo and joined its garrison shortly before it was besieged by the Mexican army. Since Crocket and several of his men were skilled marksmen they contributed significantly to the defensive efforts; allowing the to hold out for several days despite being heavily outnumbered. However; on March 6th, 1836 the Mexican army succeeded in overwhelming the defenders; and all of them, including Crocket were killed. Though the Texans lost the battle of the Alamo it gave their General Sam Huston enough time to organize and train his army, allowing him to defeat the Mexicans at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 22 1836.
