The Alamo was not an stragetic point. James Bowie had orders to destroy the Alamo and instead he became the garrison co-commander. Only two of the fighters survived in the three day combat. Arround 200 Texians died and around 600 Mexicans died. Military strategists agree that the Alamo was not worth defending.
