If you are referring to the Battle of the Alamo, it is quite simple...they were out of cannonballs. In fact, the History Channel did a special where the Texans also used forks, basically anything they could find to destroy the oncoming Mexican Army. Keep in mind that the Alamo was NOT supposed to be a victory. Sam Houston needed the men at the Alamo to survive and hold out long enough so that Houston's forces would be able to rally, regain ground, and then attack General Santa Anna's forces. He did, and the War for Texas Independence was won. That's basically a nutshell. I am not from Texas, but that's why they used chains.
