During the 12 day siege there were artillery exchanges on eight of the days including Mexican firing at night to deny the Texans of sleep. There were minor probes, feints and skrimishes by Mexican Cavalry and Infantry on at least three days, but there was only one major battle which was on 6 March and which lasted for one hour with all of the defenders killed by 0630 in the morning.
The battle of the Alamo lasted about 13 days.
Carlos Espalier was a Mexican soldier who fought during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. He served under General Antonio López de Santa Anna and participated in the siege against the Texan defenders. Espalier's role, like many other soldiers, was primarily as a combatant in the efforts to capture the Alamo, a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. His contributions, while not widely documented, were part of the larger Mexican forces that ultimately overran the Alamo.
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.
At least 13 individuals from Ohio participated in the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. They were among the defenders who fought for Texan independence from Mexico. The most notable Ohioan was William B. Travis, who was a co-commander of the Texian forces during the siege.
