Question

Santa Anna hoped that the fall of the alamo would convince Texans that it was useless to resist his armies. What happened instead?

Answer 1

the men at the alamo were beseiged for several days. a u.s. army was gathering a few counties away (san jacinto), and instead of pursue this army, santa anna stayed at the alamo, exhausting his men. when santa anna eventually went to san jacinto, his efforts were useless and the mexican american war was ended by the treaty of gaudeloupe hidalgo.

Answer 2

Vanessa's answer is a good one, and is correct. However, she left out some details. During the seige of the Alamo, Sam Houston was gathering an army to the North East. He wanted the Alamo defenders to drop back to his position, but they refused. After the Alamo fell, Santa Anna continued his march northward. To his dismay, Santa Anna ran into Sam Houston's army and got his *** kicked back down into Mexico. Santa Anna dressed up like a regular soldier, in order to avoid capture, but he was discovered when the Texans found out why regular soldiers in the Mexican army were saluting a private. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

General Santa Ana made the mistake of showing up for the Battle of San Jacinto. The Alamo was a rallying cry for the surviving Texans and that is where "Remember the Alamo" came from.

Answer 4

It launched an independent Texas campaign to rid Texas of SantaAna and the Mexican army with the battlecry Remember the Alamo and at San Jacinto they defeated Santa Ana.

Answer 5

They won the battle but lost the war, and Texas became part of the union.
They came back fighting screaming "remember the alamo"
Texan's are tough.

Answer 6

Texas rallied around the masacre that took place at the alamo as a reason to fight back stronger and harder.
