One argument against the Texans' defense of the Alamo was the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Mexican forces led by General Santa Anna. Critics argued that the defenders, numbering around 180, stood little chance against thousands of Mexican troops, making their stand seem futile and likely to result in unnecessary loss of life. Additionally, some believed that abandoning the Alamo and regrouping could have preserved the Texan cause and allowed for a more strategic resistance against Mexican rule. This perspective highlighted the practicality of survival over the romanticized notion of martyrdom.
