Texas

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.

Estevanico - Also known as Estevan, and Stephen the Moor, was a native of Azamor, on the Atlantic shore of Morocco. Estevanico was in the exploration party that included Cabeza de Vaca that ship-wrecked near western Galveston Island. Once ashore, Estevanico became the first African-born person to enter Texas.

The Spanish had 2,400 men whilst the Texans had a mere ~200 men.

The Alamo only has the shrine and Long Barrack Museum The Alamo would still be big as it was in 1836

that would take the entire Downtown San Antonio too rebuild the original compound of Mission San Antonio De Valero

The Alamo was 4 square feet and the walls were 6 feet high

They fought a group of arrogant U.S. colonists. They had wanted to colonized

what was soon to be Texas. All the Mexicans said was "Do what you want here, just don't have slaves, and follow the laws of our country."Do you think we listened? Nope. Even then the Mexicans didn't attack, in fact it was the colonists who first attacked. So Mexico sent some soldiers over to the Alamo to set them straight, and they did.

Travis, Bowie, Crockett for the good side, and for the bad side, Santa Anna.

Figureing it out still.

Nine years, from 1836 to 1845.

he died because of a disease called pneumonia.

The Alamo was just one of many religious missions that the Spanish built as they were conquering Mexico and the American Southwest. The purpose was to provide a place where missionaries could live and work with the native people and convert them to Catholicism. When Mexico declared its independence from Spain, the missions became the property of the new Mexican government.

The Texas Revolution or call it the Texas War of Independence.

Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna at the battle of San jacinto

Texas had help from the United States of America. They got very lucky, though they lost the battle of the Alamo.

Mexico's dictator, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, responded by leading an army of several thousand men north to subdue the rebellion. Santa Anna won early victories at the Alamo, a fortress built on the ruins of a Spanish mission in San Antonia, and at Goliad. But the tide of the Texas War for Independence changed when 900 Texans led by Sam Houston regrouped at the San Jacito River. There they surprised Santa Anna's troops in a battle that lasted just a matter of minutes. Victorious Texans forced Santa Anna to sign a treaty recognizing the Republic of Texas. Nine years later, in 1845, Texas was annexed, or added to the United States, becoming the twenty-eighth state.

When within seventy yards the word "fire" was given, the Texan shouts of "Remember the Alamo" and "Remember Goliad" rang along the entire line.
"Remember the Alamo".

It originates from the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution, when Texas separated from Mexico (it became a free country for 10 years before being annexed by the US in 1846). The Mexican army surrounded a group of Texans who took refuge in the Alamo Mission, a derelict church. It was a decisive but awkward victory for the Mexicans, as half of General Santa Anna's 1,500 men were killed or injured during the 13-day siege. The Texans were completely massacred, but there were only 250 of them.

The battle encouraged many men to join the Texan Army, and the Texans soon got their revenge. At the Battle of San Jacinto, 900 of them ambushed Santa Anna's army while they were having a siesta (without any sentries on guard), shouting "Remember the Alamo!" They also shouted "Remember Goliad!", a reference to a Mexican war crime the previous year. Half of the 1,300 Mexicans were killed and the other half were captured, including Santa Anna, who was forced to recognise Texas as being independent. Only 9 Texans died.

The Alamo is a church which was built by Spanish missionaries, but had been deserted for many years at the time of the battle. The building survives and is preserved as a museum, and is located in downtown San Antonio.

Texas became state #28.

The practice that settlers brought to Texas that was illegal under Mexican law was slavery. Slavery was abolished in Mexico in 1812.

After the battle of the Alamo, I believe. :)

No one is really certain, but historians believe it was either typhoid fever or viral pneumonia.

Santa Ana's troops killed Bill Travis, Commander of the Alamo at the time, also James Bowie, known for his Bowie Knife and of course the ever favorite David (Davey) Crockett. They killed all but 3 people a slave, a woman and a third who no one knows that day.

I know it's Texas. I forget how many flags have flown. The US flag for sure. Spain. The Republic of Texas (an independent nation). The Confederacy during the Civil War. Probably a few others.

It's not Texas. Louisiana has had 10 flags fly over it in it's lifetime. Two of which were it's own country. The Republic of West Florida and the Republic of Louisiana. The confederacy, Britain, Spain, Old France, New France, the US, The Louisiana Flag

James Bowie went to Texas because he wanted to smuggle slaves!

The Alamo is so important because in the history, the Texans didnt want to be bossed around by the Mexicans anymore....
