alamo is there only?

Question

1 battel or is there more

Answer 1

The overall seige at the Mission San Antonio de Valero (known as the Alamo meaning cottonwood for the trees common to the area) in San Antonio de Bejar lasted 13 days.

On February 23, 1836, the arrival of General Antonio López de Santa Anna's Mexican Army of over 5000 soldiers outside San Antonio nearly caught them by surprise. TheTexians and Tejanos prepared to defend the Alamo, a crumbling adobe mission and church, together. As the defenders held out against Santa Anna's army, William B. Travis, the commander of the Alamo, sent forth couriers carrying pleas for help to communities in Texas. On the eighth day of the siege, a band of 32 volunteers from Gonzales arrived, bringing the number of defenders to nearly two hundred. Legend holds that with the possibility of additional help fading, Colonel Travis drew a line on the ground and asked any man willing to stay and fight to step over — all except one did. As the defenders saw it, the Alamo was the key to the defense of Texas, and they were ready to give their lives rather than surrender their position to General Santa Anna. Among the Alamo's garrison were Jim Bowie, renowned knife fighter, and David Crockett, famed frontiersman and former congressman from Tennessee. The final assault came before daybreak on the morning of March 6, 1836, as columns of Mexican soldiers emerged from the predawn darkness and headed for the Alamo's walls. Cannon and small arms fire from inside the Alamo beat back several attacks. Regrouping, the Mexicans scaled the walls and rushed into the compound. Once inside, they turned a captured cannon on the Long Barrack and church, blasting open the barricaded doors. The desperate struggle continued until the defenders were overwhelmed. By sunrise, the battle had ended and Santa Anna entered the Alamo compound to survey the scene of his victory.

Answer 2

yes there was only one battle at the alamo....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, 1836, and ended on Sunday, March 6, 1836, 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...so, yes, the mexicans did win that battle there. but. . . .the americans did win the battle of san jacinto (not in san antonio).

Answer 3

...In 1836. The "battle" was on-going for a few weeks... After the fall of the Alamo, Sam Houston "took care of business" in the battle of San Jacinco... He "spanked" the Mexicans for being such bad-bad "border jumpers" and sent them back to Mexico... "they" still continue to "jump the border"...(maybe "they" need another "spanking"...umm ?
