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.
