In February 1836, about 100 Texan heros including James Bowie and Davy Crockett stood up against 6oo Mexican soldiers under General Santa Anna. After a 2 day seige during which most of the Texans were massacred, Santa Anna over ran the Alamo. This sparked a wave of nationalism and 3 years later, Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto to win freedom for the territory of Texas.
