they were defeated
The Alamo, used to be a misson and was converted into a fort during the Texas Revolution. It was besieged and taken over by the Mexican Army. All 187 of the Texan soldiers were killed.
The aftermath of the Alamo, which fell to Mexican forces in March 1836, galvanized Texan resistance against Mexico. The rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" fueled support for Texan independence, culminating in the decisive Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, where Texan forces led by Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna's army. This victory secured Texas' independence, leading to its eventual annexation by the United States in 1845, which further escalated tensions between the U.S. and Mexico. The Alamo became a symbol of courage and sacrifice in the fight for freedom.
The statement refers to events during the Texas Revolution in 1836, when Mexican forces, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, attacked Texan rebels at the Alamo and Goliad. The massacres resulted in significant casualties among Texan forces, including a famous stand by defenders at the Alamo and the execution of prisoners at Goliad. These events galvanized Texan resistance and ultimately contributed to Texas gaining independence from Mexico later that year.

James Bowie and William B. Travis were the two Texan commanders at the Alamo.
The purpose of the Alamo in 1836 was to offer resistance to the Mexican Army and keep it occupied, so that General Houston and the Texan Army would have time to mobilize. It should be remembered that travel and communication were slower in those days, and Texas had no standing army with which to match the might of the Mexican Army; the largest and toughest army in the Western Hemisphere at that time. The correct thing for Santa Anna to do would have been to surround the Alamo with siege forces and move his mobile forces on to crush Texan revolt elsewhere, but Santa Anna's pride and ego worked against him. He would not be seen leaving any site where a rebellious Texan flag was flying. The two weeks of resistance at the Alamo were not much, but they proved to be enough, and the sacrifice of the Alamo was not in vain.
