Santa Ana, the Mexican general during the Texas Revolution, chose not to take prisoners at the Alamo primarily to instill fear and demonstrate his authority. After the intense battle, he ordered the execution of the Texian defenders to serve as a warning to others resisting Mexican rule. This brutal tactic aimed to deter further rebellion and consolidate his control over Texas. Additionally, the harsh treatment of captives was a reflection of the harsh realities of war during that era.
