No. The Alamo was in 1836 during the War of Texan Independence. After gaining its independence from Mexico, Texas was a sovereign nation for ten years until opting to become a US state. However, the Mexican War began with a disagreement over where in Texas to draw the new US-Mexican border, and Mexico was again ruled by the same dictator (Santa Anna, pulled from his exile in Cuba and returned to Mexico by the US), leading to some confusion. By the time the Mexican War began in 1846, the Alamo was history.
