While tactically insignificant for Mexico & strategically useless for the Texian Army, the Alamo nonetheless effectively pissed off every single inhabitant of Texas & created a unified front against Mexican aggression, despite the battle ending with a Texian loss. Beneficially for Texan Indepence, the Alamo became a rallying cry & motivation for Texian soldiers during battle.

What is less widely known is how the Goliad Massacre of Texian POW's & its aftermath affected the Texas War for Independence, becoming a rallying cry in much the same way as did the Alamo.

"Remember the Alamo!" & "Remember Goliad" were heard on the battlefield of San Jacinto by Texians under General Sam Houston, a battle which ended the war & brought about establishment of the Republic of Texas.
