The battle of the Alamo was fought as part of the Mexican Civil War after Santa Anna tore up the constitution of 1824 and appointed himself as Emperor of Mexico with unlimited power. The flag that was flown over the Alamo was the Mexican flag the same as today with the addition of a large 1824 printed across it.

It was not until after the slaughter, and despite the revisionist attempts to change what happened, it was a slaughter, and the subsequent disrespect shown the dead that Texas was declared an independent Nation. Another fact that the revisionist what changed is the fact that there were a great many Mexican inside the Alamo who died defending their hard won freedom.

As a final insult to the defenders Santa Anna had the bodies thrown into a pile added lamp oil and wood and burned the bodies, then had the ashes scattered. After the battle of the Alamo and the murder of the prisoners captured in Goliad on their way to reinforce Travis in the Alamo, they were simply lined up and shot then left where they lay, Texas was declared an Independent Nation and was so for 10 years.

The country of France built a beautiful Embassy in the new capitol of Austin while Great Britten had their embassy in a suite of rooms in the nicest hotel in the old capitol of Houston. The Texas Embassy to Great Britten is in London, and is the home of a Tex-Mex restaurant by the same name. Actually the restaurant is next door to the actual embassy which is a wine shop, but we shan't quibble over a few feet. The Brits should get an "A" for making the effort!
