How many soldiers fought at the Alamo?

Answer 1

There were between 182 and 260 Alamo defenders. There were regular troops of the Army of the Republic of Texas under the command of Colonel Travis. There were Texian volunteers who were not present as members of the Texas Army who were loosely under the control of Jim Bowie. There were Americans (that is US Citizens) like Crockett's band of adventurers. There were slaves present who were defenders and had a loyalty not to Texas but to their owners.

There were no active duty American soldiers of the US Armed Forces present at the Alamo.

Further, it must be noted that the defenders were not all former US Citizens who had been transplanted to Texas.
