Moses Austin proposed establishing a colony of 300 American families in 1821. By 1834 some 15,000 Anglos lived in Texas, along with 4,000 Tejanos and 2,000 African American slaves.

The standoff began on 28th February 1993 and ended on 19th April 1993, a total of 51 days inclusive. (c.f. http://www.culteducation.com/waco.html)

The battle of the Alamo was a tactical defeat for the Texans, who were slaughtered to the last man. However, nobody ever expected the Texans to win the battle; it was a holding action, designed to delay the Mexican army under General Santa Ana.

During the two weeks while the Mexican army was attacking the defenders at the Alamo, the main force of the Texan army under Sam Houston was assembling. The delay at the Alamo proved deadly to the Mexican army, which was routed at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later.

Additionally, the viciousness of the Mexican army at the Alamo and at Goliad (under Santa Ana's orders, they had executed any prisoners) inflamed the Texan soldiers who overran the Mexican forces and returned the favor.

General Sam Houston led his army east, avoiding a conflict with the main Mexican army. This gave him time to build up the army some. Eventually, the Mexican army and Gen. Houston's army met up near the present-day city of Houston.

Houston and his men won an overwhelming victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, capturing the leader of the Mexican army, Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who surrendered to Gen. Houston.

Dolphin Ward Floyd died at the Alamo on his 32nd birthday.

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.

Mexico

As a general answer both the Apache and Comanche tribes lived in and around that area.

Lumberjacks, my sister goes there.

Santa Anna ordered that the Texian bodies be stacked and burned.

The Texas Pledge of Allegiance is as follows:

"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."

Additionally, the pledge to the flag of the United States of America is as follows:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Actually Moses Austin brought the settlers to a piece of land and they were the ones who chose where their land was and the land was near the rivers so they could get their resources.

"Álamo" in Spanish means "poplar" or "aspen", types of trees. It is pronounced "AH-lah-mow". Please see this site for confirmation of the translation:

1836. The Mexican force has been estimated from 2,400 to over 5,000. The Alamo defenders was only about 185. On March 6 after 13 days of siege the Mexican army stormed the citadel. It took three assaults and close combat to take the mission. Best estimate of Mexican dead range from 600 to 1600. Six weeks later the Texans won and took Santa Anna was captured on April 21, 1836.

The Battle of the Alamo was a defeat at the hands of General Santa Anna who surrounded the Alamo Mission and killed most of the defenders inside. The defeat was heroic, however, and the Alamo became famous as a symbol of Texas courage and bravery.

The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution which ended in a Texan victory, not defeat. However, the Goliad massacre which occured about 5 months later was the execution of 342 Texas patriots by the Mexican Army. The brutal killing of the prisoners-of-war fueled anti-Mexican sentiments in Texas for many years to come.

It was originally built as a semi-fortified Catholic mission station called the Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1724 as part of a string of such missions built by the Spanish Empire in the province of Tejas (Texas). The mission was designed as a religious community for monks and priests as well as a school and administrative center for the local natives and settlers. The missions was abandoned by the church in 1793 and passed into secular hands before the famous battle in 1836.

There are many celebrities that have emerged from Texas. Some Latino celebrities from Texas include Michelle Rodriguez, Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria, Robert Rodriguez, Emilio Rivera, and Eddie Guerrero.

Texas was it's own nation from the years of 1836 to 1846. After the battle of the Alamo, the Texan army continued to fight for their independence under the motto, "remember the Alamo" and after capturing Santa Ana, signed a treaty, giving them independence from Mexico in 1836. Thus, the Republic of Texas was created. Because Texas was once it's own nation, and asked to become a part of the United States (which at the time was a nation worthy of joining) Texas now holds the right to secede from America, and once again become the Republic of Texas. Texans still hold true to the movement of secession.

Texas was named so because of the nickname given to the Creole people of the northeast Texas area "tejas" meaning "friendship," because of the area's friendly hospitality. Along with "The Lone Star State," Texas also holds the nickname, "The Friendship State."

The Republic of Texas was lead first by their president, the honorable, Sam Houston (of which the city of Houston is named after, as well as Sam Houston State University).

Texas has been a great addition to the United States, ever since those days. Under the direction of Rick Perry Texas has created more jobs than any other state, and now has more fortune 500 companies than any other state. As well as being a leader in oil, agriculture, and forestry.

The "official" numbers vary from 189 to 257 defenders. There were several noncombatants which are probably what cause the confusion. All the defenders died fighting except a half dozen that were taken prisoner who were taken to Santa Anna and hacked to pieces by his officers for Santa Anna's entertainment.

None were taken alive. Each Texan ( and other Americans too ) fought to the death rather than surrender.
