who was sent to tell Sam Houston about the Mexican victory of the Alamo
The individual who surrendered to Mexican forces at Colteo Creek was Sam Houston. This event occurred during the Texas Revolution on April 21, 1836, when Houston and his army faced defeat against the Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna. Houston's surrender ultimately contributed to the larger conflict between Texas and Mexico, leading to Texas' eventual independence.
Sam Houston was waiting for the right moment to engage the Mexican army, specifically seeking to consolidate his forces and gain strategic advantages. He aimed to ensure that his troops were well-prepared and motivated, particularly after the defeat at the Alamo and the subsequent retreat. Houston also hoped to draw the Mexican army deeper into Texas territory, which would give his forces the opportunity to launch a surprise attack at San Jacinto. By biding his time, he aimed to increase the chances of a decisive victory.
Sam Houston destroyed supplies during the Texas Revolution to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Mexican army, which could use them to bolster their forces. By depriving the enemy of crucial resources, he aimed to weaken their position and enhance the chances of victory for the Texian forces. This strategic decision was part of his broader military strategy to outmaneuver and ultimately defeat the Mexican troops.
