Georgia Battalion = The Georgia Battalion of Permanent Volunteers, which became part of James W. Fannin's provisional regiment in the Goliad Campaign of 1836, occupies a unique position in the Texas Revolution, since Georgia was possibly the only state in the Union to supply arms during the conflict from its state arsenal to a Texas volunteer force. The battalion was organized by its commander, William Ward, in Macon, Georgia, after a town meeting on November 12, 1835. With the aid of Dr. Robert Collins, Ward enlisted about 120 men from Macon, Milledgeville, and Columbus, Georgia, formed them into three companies, and armed, supplied, and transported the unit to Texas at personal expense and with the aid of the Georgia arsenal.

The Immortal 32 were from Gonzales, Texas, where a monument now stands in their memory. There were at least 31 men from Tennessee who were already at the Alamo and defended it to the end. The Alamo’s defenders came from many states and countries as far away as England, Denmark, Ireland, and Germany. No matter where they were from, they all died as Texans.

Native Texan and a descendant of a Battle of San Jacinto veteran. Nothing illustrates the history of a battle to a viewer like a 3D depiction. The realism of the area is impressive. The long barracks portion of the video was far more telling of what happened - using the Texans' own cannons against the fortified doors to gain entry. I've been inside the long barracks, and it is narrow. The area is dark and almost claustrophobic.

At some point during the final battle, around 50-60 men attempted to escape from the Alamo. They left in three groups, one going west towards the San Antonio River. Another went South and another went East. All three groups are set upon by Mexican cavalry and massacred. It's not known if this was part of an organized, or pre-planned, escape attempt, or if the defenders panicked and ran for their lives. One defender is known to have survived the final battle. Brigido Guerrero was fromerly a Mexican soldier who defected to the Texian side at some point before the Siege of Bexar in 1835. When he saw that it was hopeless, Guerrero locked himself in a cell. He convinced the Mexican soldiers he was a prisoner of the Texians and was spared. After the war he remained in Texas and received a pension from the State for his service.

Analysis and details of the battle are better than most. However, the description of the lead up to the battle, mainly the politics could use a few more sentences.

Much of the political aspect reflects much of the American Revolutionary War. Nonetheless, good details on the battle; though a few decades later, the not-up-to-date New World is still using Early Napoleonic War tactics, the line, grapeshot, etc.

Good explanation on the battle. They held out for 13 days. The battle was actually for the most part fought in the dark unlike the 1960 John Wayne epic that had the Mexican Army storm the Alamo in broad daylight. Also, the Mexican accounts have it that Davey Crockett was captured and put to death by bayonets on Santa Ana's orders versus the 1960 movie having blown himself in the powder room in a glorious act of defiance.

Just a small fact everyone seems to forget here: Texas was a pro-slavery at the time -- south Texas was not a part of the United States and Mexico was an abolitionist country. The fools who defended the Alamo were volunteers who volunteered for their own deaths for no real reason -- there was no political or strategic need for this battle to happen. And if anyone claims that it contributed to Texas statehood, they're wrong. In fact, the Alamo wasn't revered as a place of historical and cultural significance until the 1950's. For people who believe that the Alamo is an example of American resistance to foreign affairs and the right of Texans to claim what they believe is theirs -- all of this is based on a myth. But any Texan who reads this will not do any form of objective research and will instead thumbs this comment down. So be it.
