Most Texans initially supported Santa Anna in his bid to overthrow Mexican President Bustamante because they viewed him as a champion of federalism and a promoter of local governance, which aligned with their desire for greater autonomy. His promise to restore the 1824 Constitution, which favored states' rights, resonated with many settlers who sought more control over their affairs. Additionally, his charismatic leadership and populist appeal garnered significant support among various factions in Texas. However, this support waned as his authoritarian tendencies became apparent after he seized power.

Why did a Mexican flag written 1824 fly boldly over the Alamo?
More than likely, it didn't! Some say it was the Alamo defenders championing the cause of the Mexican Constitution of 1824. This was decreed three years after Mexico won it's independence from Spain in 1821, establishing the "United Mexican States" as a Federal Republic. Thereby, it allowed states, including the Mexican State of Coahuila y Texas, certain rights and a degree of self government. However, this was overturned by Mexican Dictator, Santa Ana. The Constitution that gave Texans rights they had grown accustomed to, was now being taken away. While there were factions among the Texans wanting the re-establishment of the Constitution, and thus, why some feel the Flag of 1824 was flown, many scholars feel it was highly unlikely that by the time of the Alamo, they wanted to fight to the death for the cause of the Constitution of 1824. Rather, it seems by this time that they were fighting for the cause of Independence - period! Think about the circumstances at the time of the siege of the Alamo. Unbeknownst to the Alamo defenders, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836. This was several days before the Alamo fell on March 6th. However, this did not mean that William Travis was unaware that something like this was in the offing. In fact, he sent representatives to attend the Washington-on-the Brazos convention where the declaration was officially signed. Does it sound like they would be fighting for the 1824 Constitution or for Texas Independence? Finally, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that the 1824 Flag did not fly over the Alamo. However, the same is true of it having been flown over the Alamo. The fact is, it was highly unlikely.
