Texans went to the Alamo primarily to defend it as a strategic military outpost during the Texas Revolution against Mexican rule. The Alamo, a former mission, became a symbol of resistance for Texan settlers seeking independence from Mexico. The battle that took place there in March 1836 exemplified the struggle for freedom, rallying support for the Texan cause despite the eventual defeat. The phrase "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for those fighting for Texas independence.

The Texans were defeated by Santa Anna at the Alamo on March 6, 1836.
No, the Texans bought some time for the other American troops, but were defeated at the Alamo.
the battle cry of the Texans was "Remember the Alamo".
That was the Alamo.
Texas lost the Battle of the Alamo.
The Alamo started by Mexico encouraged foreign settlement in Texas, but the Mexicans far out numbered the Texans. The Texans wanted to be independent, so the Texans started a Texas Revolution, and the Alamo was the very first battle to happen in the Texas Revolution.
The Texan army set up for battle there to suprise the Santa Anna army.
The "Texans" didn't win the Battle of the Alamo. General Santa Anna and his army did. When the Alamo was lost the battle cry "Remember the Alamo" was started and it mobilized the Texans to resist Santa Anna even more until Texas was eventually in American hands.
