Around 1836, the Mexican province of Texas, was mainly inhabited by "illegal" US-American immigrants, but they took up arms against the Mexican government, when Mexico prohibited them from using slavery as a form of work, then the rebels had proposed to emancipate themselves from Mexico. To continue maintaining slavery, but General Santa Anna, then president of Mexico, did not allow them, Texas was Mexican territory, he had no right to separate. The president of Mexico defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, from the US-American pirates who balkanized Texas, Santa Anna's army was a poor army in resources and weapons, it was not like Hollywood that shows it as an overly powerful invading army, the Mexicans were in their territory, the invaders were the "US-Americans". So an armed conflict began between both parties that led to the secession of Texas. That's the truth, why don't they tell it?

I recommend reading blood of noble men which is a full documented account of the day bay day actions during the 13 day siege of the Alamo. The more you read it they more you realize just how hopeless their situation truly was. The documentation of the final assault on March sixth just makes it even more sad for both sides.

Unos masones españoles, por su cuenta, decidieron dar la independencia a lo que llamaban Nueva España pero sin que los mexicanos hubieran entrado en Texas ( los españoles habian hecho poco antes una matanza de "texanos hispanos" que se habian sublevado contra los españoles, en la "batalla de Medina" , nunca ningun Azteca o similar habia estado en Texas . Pero los mexicanos tuvieron lo que se merecian: el primer acto en cuanto los españoles se fueron ( porque les dio la gana a los masones del gobierno español, no los habian derrotado ni expulsado los mexicanos ni nadie) suponiendose dueños de Texas, fue "anular todos los titulos de propiedad de tierras" que habian dado los españoles en Texas...esto cabreó a los texanos, muchos de origen español o de origen anglo o norteamericano pero que se habian establecido en Texas cuando era de soberania española...y se la tenian guardada a los mexicanos: ese fue el origen de la sublevacion de los texanos contra Mexico, parece que los mexicanos se habian hecho el proposito de quitar los titulos de propiedad de tierras dados por españoles y entregar esas tierras a colonos mexicanos que pasarian desde rio Bravo: los texanos les expulsaron de mala forma igual que habian entrado de mala forma : donde mas odio de todo el planeta se tiene a España y a los españoles es en Mexico, borrego , no en Texas

I’d like to add that the massacre at La Bahia in Goliad contributed more to rebel sentiments and desire for independence than the Alamo. No, Mexico cannot invade its own territory, as Texas was at this time. However, let’s not forget that Mexico won its independence from Spain barely 14 years before these events. American immigrants to Texas refused to become confessing Catholics, among other grievances, and eventually the sentiments became a war cry for Texas independence.

They would have had very bright, colorful uniforms and tactics that seemed eerily familiar to Napoleon’s, due to Santa Anna being a great admirer of his, said to demand people refer to him as “Napoleon of the West”. However, they also don’t suck the cool-aid out of the Mexicans’ junks!: Despite being a national army, they were still a bunch of poorly trained and supplied conscripted peasants fighting for a dictator that had only been in power a couple of years! I love how the battle shows the superior marksmanship of the Texians, and shows them laying waste to the Mexicans in a straight fight, only falling under weight of numbers, a costly tactic that would soon cost Santa Anna the entire war!

With this battle Sam Houston is able to rally a force to defeat Santa Anna, in doing so creating the republic of Texas, then when the republic becomes an American state it tips the scales on pro slavery vs anti slavery in regards to what states are which, which leads to certain compromises which further divide the nation...but wait there is more, with its acceptance into the US this causes upset to Mexico as the US claims a vast swathe of territory west of Texas in New Mexico and California, leading to The Mexican-American war of the late 1840s, and all of this can be traced back to 186 men all dying in a run down mission, in a southern part of Texas.

The new Mexican government and Anna feared the amount of white settlers brought in by the previous government would topple their control, so they set about to remove them. "Mexicans, were only defending the territorial integrity of their country,"- That is it i suppose. Why they did it and did it need to happen are not as simple. "Texas was a Mexican territory"- It was. The area itself went through many changes but it basically remained Mexican territory up until 1848. As the republic was never officially acknowledged by Mexico, so Mexico never saw it as nothing but an independent part of their country. " I use Texas to maintain SLAVERY, abolished in Mexico since the time of independence."- What? I don't understand. The slavery issue was never a big thing after it happened in the 1820's. The Alamo was 1836 and the war was 1846, so what do you mean? The only thing i would add was Mexico as a villain. Anna was a bad guy. His order for this campaign was every white settler be branded a pirate, which means they could kill as many as they wanted and whoever they wanted. Anna wasn't great and the Americans were the ones sticking up for themselves whilst their opponent was pushing them out.

The Mexican assault began around 3:30-4:00 am on March 6. It was pitch dark and the Mexican columns were over the north wall before the alarm was sounded. A good portion of the Texian defenders bolted from the Alamo; heading through a gate at the palisade near the chapel. An estimated 60-70 tried to flee in the direction of the Gonzales road and were run down and killed by waiting Mexican cavalry. Most of the rest were slain in brief, hand-to-hand encounters in the Long barracks and the Artillery barracks across the plaza. There is some evidence that as many as eight men did escape from the Alamo, though only one or two who were slightly wounded lived for any time.

Furthermore, it is believed Davey Crockett surrendered with a handful of other men ... who were then all put to death. In the case of it being a night assault, filming it with 1960's technology would have been difficult so I understand and accept the variation done for the film audiences' sake. Likewise, I am unsure if Mr. Wayne knew about the men who tried to escape the death trap which was the Alamo. Much of the information was discovered, or believed, later in the 20th century. All and all, I like the film despite these irregularities.

@@NotOurRemedy From most of the contemporary evidence, the majority of Mexican losses were due to friendly fire in the darkness and the confusion after the assault columns gained entry to compound. The Texians were plagued by a shortage of good powder; they didn't, with the exception of Crockett's small group, have good muskets or rifles. The majority were armed with shotguns, pistols, and long guns more suitable for hunting game. The only cannon the defenders fired were the two 12-pounders of Captain Dickenson, that were used to try and give cover to the group of defenders that were fleeing toward the Gonzales road. The first Mexican columns were ordered NOT to load their weapons, and use the bayonet. The following assault formations did load their weapons and this is where the friendly fire incidents occurred.

The reason why the Mexicans appeared to be outgunned at the beginning even though clearly having more men is because the Mexicans were equipped with brown bess muskets which were ineffective at longer ranges. The texians had sharpshooter rifles so they had the initial advantage.

people also forget how far away Texas and San Antonio is from Mexico (the populated part at that time) most of the Mexican troops were NOT soldiers but forced conscripts from the provinces they picked up along the way, and who did not care or want to be a part of this, just like most Texans (or whatever word you want to use) did not really support independence.

The land of Texas was Mexican territory. The defenders of the Alamo were actually rebels, they had been given land grants by the Mexicans if they farmed the land and became Roman Catholic. Travis had been ordered by his superior Sam Houston to abandon the Alamo Mission as he knew it was indefensible. He remained at the Alamo to force the rebel army's hand, to attack General Santa Anna army, they were not ready and if their untrained army had taken the field at that time they would have been defeated by Santa Anna's Mexican Army. The Almo Mission had no strategic importance and if Jim Bowie had not been incapacitated by illness, possibly cholera, at the time he would have overruled Travis as he was vastly more experienced in military matter. Davie Crocket was a failure as a politician in the U.S. he had failed in every venture he had tried, he was an adventurer trying his last throw of the dice to become rich. The myth of his John Wayne like death was debunked years ago as a diary was found from a contemporary diary kept by a Mexican Soldier who took part saying that they had caught him and others trying to sneak out of the Misson before the final attack and they were executed by firing squad. Sam Houston was also an adventurer, a failed U.S. Politician, a drunk and a person who I would not have trusted. Jim Bowie was also not a trustworthy man , he had burnt his boats in the U.S. due to his fraudulent land speculation activities and run in with the law. The war succeed against the Mexican Government was because the General Santa Anna was incompetent and the empty promises that they had made to the Spanish speaking inhabitants that their land grants given years before by the Spanish would be honoured, that was a lie as the triumphant Texas newcomers from the U.S. took their land from them and indulged in ethnic cleansing to remove them from their land. They became a disenfranchised underclass in Texas.

It's funny when people think their intelligent when they're not. 😂 Crockett's death has not been debunked. The first thing you need to educate yourself with is to look up Susanna Dickinson, the lady depicted in every Alamo movie, read what she says about Davy Crockett, she actually knew him. Next, that De La Pena diary you're trying to reference was murdered on the street; he hated Santa Anna and it's believed he wrote that to illustrate Santa Anna's cruelty. A brain should tell you how strange it is that no one talked to that prisoner referenced as Crockett, hmmm, why would that be? Also, Americans took Texas, so? Where else would illegal Mexicans run to get away from Mexico?

In reality, the final early morning assault was carried out with stealth; the Mexicans were almost at the Alamo's walls when they were detected by the by-now exhausted lookouts and the alarm was sounded.

Santa Anna was a war criminal and a coward. Remember Goliad!

This is pretty good action sequences

Ever notice there are typically 6 men manning the cannon in a scene? There were 18 operating cannon at the time of battle. In all probability each cannon was manned by 3 As the number defending the Alamo is reported between 180-220 using the median of 200 would indicate nearly 25% of the defenders were manning cannon leaving approximately 150 to defend the walls. This number would be lower as the hospital had many beds filled. Alamo movies show many more riflemen defenders than there actually were.

The final assault was actually at early dawn, the Soldados formed in silence before the sun was up. The defenders had pre-loaded muskets stacked against the walls. Each gun (artillery) had two men to operate it because one of them had to hold his thumb over the vent wile sponging and ramming the round. It was a mean, bloody fight. But both sides knew what was happening, the Texanos knew that they would all be killed on the last day and they did whatever they could to kill as many of their assailants as possible, including waving white flags from the barracks and then shooting the Soldados that approached to take their surrender. But there is a very important point here. The Tejanos were fighting as Mexican citizens under the flag of the Mexican Constitution of 1824, It is likely that the defenders, except for Crockett's recently arriving contingent, spoke Spanish with each other. They did not know Texas had declared independence. That took place at Washington-on-the-Brazos far away and three days before the Alamo fell. They were fighting as Mexicans for Mexican rights against a tyrant.

One thing that we tend to forget is that these were were just regular guys no more different than you and me who were thrusted into a terribly hopeless situation. They took a calculated risk when Santana and his army appeared out of nowhere on march 23 catching them completely by supersize. They had a choice to try run away and all be rundown by the cavalry or hold up in the Alamo and try to last ass long as possible until reinforcements could arrive. They calculated wrong and they paid for it wit their lives. I'm not down playing their courage at all far from it. I'm just putting this in perspective because we can only speculate what was their thought process, because of the simple but very critically important fact is that we were not there. We do not know what it was really like, how the conditions were during the 13 days and the siege did not happen instantly as the Mexican army took several days to incurcle the Alamo, set up their camps well out or the range of the Alamo's guns, then they had to set up their siege batteries of artillery which were four of five positions which had to be place far enough away where the Alamo cannon could not just blast away at them but, they could not set the artillery so far away that the cannon balls would have no effect on the Alamo's walls, on to of that the army had to set pickets or little outpost rining around the army to protect them from any enemy forces coming to reinforce that Alamo. Travis, Bowie, Crockett, captain Dickinson, Bohnan and a few other officers were fully aware of how hopeless their situation was as they were the ones to learn of information happening well beyond Sanantonio. They kept the information to them selves and what information they did let circulate was well down played for the moral of the men. At some point Travis, Bowie, Crockett, captain Dickinson, Bohnan and a few other officers had to have come to the conclusion that nobody was coming or if any one was coming they would most likely not come in time before the final assault. When Travis finally did tell the defenders how hopeless their situation was. There were only three options, surrender and be killed, slip over the wall in the night and take their chances in the dark, or stay in the Alamo and have a fifty fifty chance of living for dieing. Non of these choice are desirable but, I like most of them would probably take the fifty fifty chance of staying in the Alamo as they were far more likely to survive in the walls. Even after Travis told the men that no one was coming many of the defenders probably believed that help was coming right up to the moment that they were being bayoneted to death. I want to restate again that I'm not down playing their courage at all far from it. I'm just putting this all in perspective as best I can

Love the recoiless cannons.

One question: which movie is It from?

0:33 defenders are shown way too tightly packed together -- there's almost 40 manning that short section of wall (in two rows no less), leaving about 145 to man the entire rest of the perimeter. But I guess they wanted to make it look good.

used to be, Until mexico brought in Protestant american immigrants to settle in lands that were frequently raided by native american tribes. After a while the mexicans began trying to get rid of the protestant americans for various reasons, which resulted in tensions rising between the two until the Americans rebelled due to heavily increased taxation and a ban on any more protestant immigrants. Mexico fought its own short term civil war, in which the rebelling mexican faction led by Santa anna emerged victorious. the texans rebelled against santa annas government not long afterwards and won their war of independence.

Around 1836, the Mexican province of Texas, was mainly inhabited by "illegal" US-American immigrants, but they took up arms against the Mexican government, when Mexico prohibited them from using slavery as a form of work, then the rebels had proposed to emancipate themselves from Mexico. To continue maintaining slavery, but General Santa Anna, then president of Mexico, did not allow them, Texas was Mexican territory, he had no right to separate. The president of Mexico defended the integrity of the Mexican national territory, from the US-American pirates who balkanized Texas, Santa Anna's army was a poor army in resources and weapons, it was not like Hollywood that shows it as an overly powerful invading army, the Mexicans were in their territory, the invaders were the "US-Americans". So an armed conflict began between both parties that led to the secession of Texas. That's the truth, why don't they tell it?

@@BW-og1vu have you had an American education ? America is not portrayed as heroic in any sense. Especially their actions during the 19th century.

Spain gave up its claim to Florida and in exchange the US gave up its claim to what is now Texas. The Spanish empire collapsed and Mexico became its own country. Mexico was having trouble with Comanche raids in what is now Texas, so they allowed people from the Louisiana Territory to come live there. Too many northerners started moving into Texas so Mexico abolished slavery and raised taxes to discourage more settlers. The Texians revolted so Mexico sent an army to reclaim its territory. This led to the Battle of the Alamo. So this was actually the theft of Mexican land. The US eventually invaded the entire southwest and California. It was totally unjust theft, but in the end we the descendants are much better off being part of the US than Mexico.

To be fair, the Texicans were in revolt against Santa Anna's regime, not out to form their own Republic when things began. They only settled on a Republic when it became clear how outmatched they were. They couldn't never beat Santa Anna's other armies so the accepted independence for their slice of Mexico instead. That is why the flag has '1824' on it - for the Mexican Constitution of 1824, which Santa Anna had cast down and the Texicans were fighting to restore. The Mexican-American War was a rather different matter. That pretty much an unjust land theft.

@@jamesdosher2057 The theft of the South West by the US was nothing more than a country with superior military power invading a neighbor. My ancestors in New Mexico revolted in Santa Fe and were captured and hung by the US military. Fast forward to 1941-1945. If the US did not exist with sufficiently large population, resources and fortitude to defend itself, the world would be a very different place, and we would probably be speaking German or Japanese!!! So even though the details on how the US was created are unsettling, we the descendants are better off. My ancestors fought and died in WWII to preserve the country we have today. I am grateful for the country we have regardless of how it came into existence. That is why I won't partake in criticizing our history. We simply don't know what the outcome would have been.... conditions in our country could easily be much worse than they are today.

With all respect to your teacher, that fact does not seem to be true, since there are several details that do not fit in that narrative. Spain and Mexico had been without any kind of diplomatic relationship since the existence of the country. The King never recognized the independence of the nation and carried out several unsuccessful attempts to reconquer it, which did not stop until he died, and his wife became Queen Regent of Spain, which was when Mexico's independence were finally recognized and diplomatic relations were established. However, diplomatic relations between the two nations were always very tense, to the point that Spain supported the sending of troops to Mexico during the French invasion that would occur years later. Added to that, all of this happened a couple of months before this battle, with the revolution already underway and with Santa Anna already in the field, so it is difficult at least for that scenario that you propose to have occurred. There are several reasons behind the use of that clothing and war music, but the most important here is that Mexico, as a nation of Spanish/Western based culture and society, simply continued to keep those cultural aspects embedded in things like administration and military after its independence from the metropolis on the peninsula. Other relevant reasons would be: - The importation of Napoleonic military tactics and clothing from Spain during the war of independence, elements that many Mexican military officers sought to continue to emulate in independent Mexico. - The arrival of veteran European officers who became “unemployed” after the Napoleonic wars and traveled to Latin America during its wars of independence in search of adventure and to make a living and try their luck

It’s a black powder grenade. An iron ball with packed black powder and a wick. They were used as far back as the 1600’s and included spiked grenades that would stick to wood when thrown or shot from specially designed crossbows. Think about the names of the units, Grenadiers, who would have packs of these grenades in satchels to throw in battle. Why they fell out of use in European Armies prior to WWI and then hastily had to be manufactured in the trenches was because the European powers had been facing small colonial wars in foreign lands and so the grenade was not really used.
