Why was the Alamo not important?

It was not the crucial battle that decided the course of Santa Anna's campaign. Santa Anna won the battle and wiped out the defenders, but the battle that determined the campaign was fought later. It was the most crucial battle as it was a delaying action that was known to the defenders at the Alamo. It was never expected nor was there any hope that they would win. It gave Sam Houston time to regroup and lead Santa Anna into the trap at San Jacinto. Santa Anna could have bypassed San Antonio and caught up with Houston but he decided to use the Alamo as an object lesson to the Texans. Unfortunately, for Santa Anna, his actions at the Alamo and the slaughter of the Texans at Goliad, galvanized the country and led to his defeat.

What happened to Santa Anna after the battle of San Jacinto?

Santa Ana was caught on April 22, 1836 (the day after the Battle of San Jacinto). At the beginning of the battle he had disappeared on a horse and was found in the grass dressed as a common soldier. Some people say he was dressed as a woman however this is believed to be a myth. He was brought to Sam Houston, the leader of the Texas military, who had been injured in the ankle by a musket ball. Many Texans wished to see him hanged after what he did at the Alamo and Goliad (there were no Texan survivors at these). Houston decided he should be kept alive so he could sign the Treaties at Velasco, the treaties that would give Texas freedom from Mexico. These treaties also granted Santa Anna life. Because the Texans were so hungry for revenge, Santa Ana was released in the United States. Years later, while Texas was seeking annexation to the United States, Santa Anna became the dictator of Mexico again. He attempted to take Texas back (as Mexico renounced the Treaties at Velasco) however he was unsuccessful. He died in Mexico City, June 21, 1876.
