Black troops were far more diciplined then white troops for starters. Sadly enough, black troops were mainly used for manual labour, even in the union army. If you want to know more, you can google just about anything regarding the 54th Massachusetts

By he end of WW1, around 52,000 troops were killed, and more than 200,000 troops were injured. tHis, compared to the some 4,700,000 American troops sent in, America left Europe bruised, but not broken.

The invasion of Normandy helped change the tide of war by putting the Germans on the defensive rather than the offensive. With the failed attempts by the Germans to capture Russia, defend Italy, and defend the Normandybeach, allied troops were able to finally be put on the offensive side.

To carry a message to Sam Houston from William B. Travis asking for more recruits to fight at the Alamo.
Sam Houston, William (Buck) Travis, and Sam Houston were very important. Lots more people were important. There were more than 300 volenteers.
Sam Houston's plan to defeat the Mexican Army was first to let the Mexican Army greatly reduce its own numbers through its own incompetence. Sam Houston did not reinforce the Alamo. He did not have the army to defeat Santa Ana at that point. He did not send reinforcements to Goliad. He did not have the troops to spare. In capturing those two outposts, the Texans lost several hundred solders. The Mexicans lost thousands. The lack of sanitation caused the loss of several thousand more. When Santa Anna finally caught up with Houston, he had a sick army. Houston pretended to prepare defensive works while Santa Anna let his troops siesta. Houston attacked a sleeping army. Santa Anna was captured in his pajamas.
After the battle of the Alamo, I believe. :)
It was the other way around: between 180 and 258 Texans were massacred by Mexican troops at El Alamo on March 6, 1836.

General Santa Anna led the Mexican army against William B. Travis and the Texas army and volunteers. After 13 days of bombarding the Alamo, Santa Anna made his final attack on March 6,1836 leading 1800 troops against 200 Texans. All of the Texans died.
