Two people survived. One was a slave named Joe, and Brigido Guerrero, a Mexican Army deserter who persuaded the soldiers that he had been kept captive.

The Battle of the Alamo was fought on March 6, 1836. It was a clash between rebellious Texans, who wanted to be independent from Mexico, and the Mexican army, which wanted to maintain its hold over Texas.

Texas was an independent country from the end of the Texas War for Independence from Mexico until 1845 when it became a state. The country was known as the Republic of Texas. Before that, it was a territory of Spain, France and Mexico. In 1861, Texas joined the Confederate States of America.

It was denied admission as a state by antislavery forces in the U.S. Congress.

All 185 or so defenders died, along with 250-350 Mexicans. Some historians put the Mexican death toll at nearly 600. Either way, Santa Anna lost men he could not quickly replace, setting up his defeat by Houston at the battle of San Jacinto.

The fall of the Alamo, the slaughter of the Texans after they surrendered, the slaughter of the Texans at Goliad; all these factors inspired the Texans to fight harder for independence, defeat General Santa Ana, and free the territory from under the control of Mexico. After all, when the Mexicans showed they had a "no prisoner's taken" policy, it does inspire a person not to surrender when they know they Will be killed if they surrender.

Because the Alamo was the event which most angered the people of Texas, and brought them together. At the Alamo, a small number of Texans (as well as men from other states) were holding out against an attack from a much larger force.

Since they eventually lost the battle, but refused to run or surrender and were killed to the last man, the rest of Texas perceived them as heroes who should be avenged. Though "vengeance" is probably not the primary reason for the conflicts taking place, the desire for "getting back" at those who killed the outnumbered "heroes" certainly helped.

Texans began shouting "remember the Alamo" as their battle-cry because they were unified by that event, and because they had some pay-back to dole out. It also meant "take no prisoners".

Stephen F. Austin had his colony in between the Colorado and the Brazos river because it had fertile soil, abundant water, natural resources, a mild climate, and no other settlements.
