The mexicans around San Antonio were not able or too lazy to fight the Commanches and it took the white anglo settlers to kill them and run them off and make Texas a safe place to live.

The Battle of the Alamo was a 19th-century battle between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texian forces, including both Anglos (ethnic Europeans) and Tejanos (ethnic Mexicans in Texas), during the Texians' fight for independence — the Texas Revolution. It took place at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas (then known as "San Antonio de Béxar") in February and March 1836. The 13-day siege started Tuesday, February 23, and ended on Sunday, March 6, with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texian and Tejano defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the win, the 13-day holdout stalled the Mexican Army's progress and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later success at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Texian revolutionaries went on to win the war.

Though the Alamo fell to the Mexicans, the death of its Texan defenders – including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie – came to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of liberty. The Texan army under Sam Houston shouted ‘Remember the Alamo!’ as it defeated Mexican forces led by Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto in April 1836.
The alamo is about the ultimate sacrifice, and understanding that you may lose a battle.....but it can still provide the impetus to win the war.

As a Comanche, I should resent this statement but unfortunately it is 100% correct. Yes many of my friends are Texans and they remember the Alamo and San Jaciento!

There aren't any Americans old enough to litterally remember the Alamo. But, it's recorded in history, often in distorted, romanticised forms.
