Texas

It is called a commissioners court. We just learned about that today. :)

There is no definitive answer, because there is still no definitive list of those who perished. There have been theories that a man named Rose either died or fled the Alamo right before its fall and also a Dr. Levy who died, but once again, this question may never be answered unequivocally.

It is likely because many Jews lived and settled in Texas and the pioneer west.

Three States of Texas would fit in Alaska. So the answer is no.

Oh, dude, like, there were around 180-250 Texian defenders at the Battle of the Alamo. But, like, let's be real, it's not like I was there counting heads myself. So, give or take a few, who's really keeping track, right?

all of these

Quite simply, the duration of time that the defenders of the Alamo held Santa Ana and the Mexican Army gave Sam Houston enough time to mobilize an army of Texan volunteers which eventually defeated the Mexicans after they had conquered the Alamo. If the defenders of the Alamo had been defeated immediately, Texas may not have become part of the USA

Honest and hardworking people that would make the colony successful.

how many of Santa Anna's men survived?

Texas was the 28th state admitted to the Union - hence the 15th after the original 13 colonies.

After the Civil war, it was the 11th former Confederate state readmitted to the Union - the 10th under Reconstruction (Tennessee managed to get readmitted before the Reconstruction Acts took effect).

The Revolutionary War was the longest at about 8 years.

It is important to note that we have not actually been at war since 1945. Our Congress doesn't declare war any longer, though it is believed that they still do have the sole power to do so, according to the Constitution.

The longest military fighting would be the collective battles and massacres of the Native Americans, which started before our nation was a nation, and ended towards the end of the 19th century, which would have it at a century, at least.

The longest military fighting against a specific people in a consistent and enduring fashion was the Vietnam conflict at anywhere from 12 to 16 years depending upon how one classifies "hostilities" and "military involvement".

William Travis believed in Texas independance because he took part in the Battle of Gonzales and after that he was commissioned lieutenant colonel and realized how much help that Texas needed and how poorly Mexico treated them. He knew that not very many people would take a stand and fight, so he knew that somebody had to help, so he did.

People were Afraid that Texas would turn into a slave state.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

The Alamo's purpose is when an army battled in the Alamo. The Alamo was a Spanish fort used to defend the village San Antonio from the Indians. It later became the site of a battle for Texas' independence from Mexico. Within the fort is an old Spanish mission (San Antonio de Valero) which is now called the Alamo.

There's some evidence that everyone on the Texas side may not have been killed. No one knows for sure. There are some historical references from that time to men who escaped. This is not including the women and children that Santa Anna spared and who left after the battle was over.

No on in the Texas army survived the battle. Although many Mexican troop members survived. Davy Crockett was the last Texan alive at the Alamo, but was killed by Santa Anna's men. The translator that was supposed to tell Santa Anna that Davy Crockett would discuss the terms of surrender for Texas twisted Davy's words and said the Mexican troops should surrender to the Texans. Santa Anna had a short temper so he had Davy killed.

Very few of the 189 men at the Alamo were actually natives of Texas. A great number of them were from Southern states, such as Tennessee, Kentucky and the Carolinas. At least 32, in fact, came from Tennessee. Some northerners from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York also stood their ground in the mission. But Europeans were also well represented. At least ten of the patriots were natives of England, and another 11 were from Ireland, a country that knew well the struggle for liberty against oppression. Of the thirty-plus Europeans, some also came from Germany, Denmark, Scotland and Wales.

At the time of the battle, as many as eighty of the Alamo defenders were actually documented residents of Texas, but others had traveled to the fort from various states, volunteering their services for the revolution. Of the estimated 189 men who died in the Alamo, only six were actually born in Texas: Juan Abamillo, Juan A. Badillo, Carlos Espalier, Gregorio Esparza, Antonio Fuentes, and Andrés Nava. This work shall pay tribute to the Tejanos who died at the Alamo:

Santa Anna.

Santa Anna was not captured at the Battle of the Alamo. He won that battle. He was later captured by Sam Houston and Texas forces at the Battle of San Jancito on April 21, 1836.

Was 12 days of siege and one hour of battle.

More than likely, it didn't!

Some say it was the Alamo defenders championing the cause of the Mexican Constitution of 1824. This was decreed three years after Mexico won it's independence from Spain in 1821, establishing the "United Mexican States" as a Federal Republic. Thereby, it allowed states, including the Mexican State of Coahuila y Texas, certain rights and a degree of self government.

However, this was overturned by Mexican Dictator, Santa Ana. The Constitution that gave Texans rights they had grown accustomed to, was now being taken away.

While there were factions among the Texans wanting the re-establishment of the Constitution, and thus, why some feel the Flag of 1824 was flown, many scholars feel it was highly unlikely that by the time of the Alamo, they wanted to fight to the death for the cause of the Constitution of 1824. Rather, it seems by this time that they were fighting for the cause of Independence - period!

Think about the circumstances at the time of the siege of the Alamo. Unbeknownst to the Alamo defenders, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836. This was several days before the Alamo fell on March 6th. However, this did not mean that William Travis was unaware that something like this was in the offing. In fact, he sent representatives to attend the Washington-on-the Brazos convention where the declaration was officially signed. Does it sound like they would be fighting for the 1824 Constitution or for Texas Independence?

Finally, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that the 1824 Flag did not fly over the Alamo. However, the same is true of it having been flown over the Alamo. The fact is, it was highly unlikely.
