The battle of the Alamo lasted about 13 days.
The siege at the Alamo galvanized Texas settlers, transforming the battle into a symbol of resistance against Mexican rule. The determination and sacrifice of the defenders inspired many Texans to rally for independence, leading to increased recruitment for the Texian army. The rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" became a unifying slogan that motivated settlers to fight fiercely in subsequent battles, ultimately contributing to Texas' victory in the war for independence.
The Alamo's purpose is when an army battled in the Alamo. The Alamo was a Spanish fort used to defend the village San Antonio from the Indians. It later became the site of a battle for Texas' independence from Mexico. Within the fort is an old Spanish mission (San Antonio de Valero) which is now called the Alamo.
There are estimated of between 120 and 175 defenders at The Alamo.
