The LAST STAND at the ALAMO🏰
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- The Alamo, an 18th-century Spanish mission in San Antonio, Texas, was the site of an important battle in 1836. A small group of Texan rebels, including frontiersman Davy Crockett, were defending the Alamo against thousands of Mexican soldiers led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. For 13 days, the vastly outnumbered Texans held out in the fort, vowing to fight to the death for Texas independence.
On March 6, Santa Anna launched a final assault to take the Alamo. The Texans fought valiantly but were eventually overwhelmed. All 189 defenders were killed, including Crockett and Texan commander William Travis. Though the Alamo fell, the defenders' courage and sacrifice became a rallying cry for the Texas Revolution. Their last stand came to symbolize the defiant spirit of liberty.
The story of the Alamo has enduring power because it taps into something primal within us. We identify with the underdogs facing impossible odds, we admire their unwavering courage, and we long for that kind of purpose and meaning in our own lives. The Alamo defenders were ordinary people who came together to fight and die for a cause they believed in. Their sacrifice demonstrates what human beings can accomplish when they unite with a shared purpose.
Against the backdrop of today's divided politics and culture wars, the story of the Alamo takes on new relevance. It highlights the importance of shared ideals and values, of courage in the face of adversity, and of sacrifice for the greater good. We may face different challenges today, but the human spirit that fueled the Alamo defenders lives on. Their story inspires us with the hope that, when it matters most, we too can come together, stand up for what we believe in, and make a last stand that echoes through history.
The Alamo reminds us that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. We may feel outnumbered or outgunned, but courage is contagious. One small act of bravery can turn the tide. The Alamo defenders proved that victory is not always about living to fight another day. Sometimes the greatest triumphs are won through noble sacrifice. Their rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" reverberates through Texas history because there are battles worth fighting for, even when the odds seem impossible, and memories that are worth dying for.

Travis was actually one of the first to die. It was 186 Texans (Documented) Plus an addition 25-50 men (Undocumented) The final assault actually had 1200 mexican soldiers. Still an overwhelming 7 to 1 fight.
Doncha forgot the Tejanos that fought and died in The Alamo too! And yes Lt Col. Travis was one of the first to died defending the north wall with his volunteers. Most of the Mexican vanguard attacked the north wall which is how they punched through.
Nobody is forgotten that defended the Alamo
! Nobody.
Travis was killed early in the battle. No one knows what happened to Crockett. Many eye witnesses accounts contradict each other
This is correct. No one has died more times and in more ways then Davy Crockett. There are over 12 accounts of Crocketts death at the alamo. The only thing that is certain is he died that day.
Yep
According to Susan Dickinson (whose husband was a Capt. and was in charge of the 18 pounder cannon) said Col. Crockett and his Tennessee volunteers that were defending the palisade with the Tejano volunteers were the last to fall. When they saw they were surrounded they retreated into the church were she was hiding with her young daughter. She claims that she was they fought till the death to protect her and her child.
Travis was one of the first Texans to die
Sure glad see to more shorts about The Alamo.
Man used all the stock effects available
Actually travis was one of the first to go, and for davy, no one knows how he went down but i believe he was swinging and for jim bowie im not sure but he was sick in the bed
Jim bowie was there too😅
Before the Battle of the Alamo, Ben Milam led a group of Texians to take the Alamo, this was known as the Siege of Béxar. Ben Milam was shot in the head by a Mexican sniper hiding in a tree by what is now known as the River Walk. Ben Milam is one of the forgot heroes of the Texas Revolution. He is also my 9th great uncle.
@@thelifeofJd103Yup Col. Bowie took command when he was kill and his men were able to kick out the Mexican army outta occupied Texas in December 1835. Which is why many of the volunteers stayed until February 1836 in The Alamo to defend it against another invasion.
Well no one really knows who Col. Bowie died since he was bedridden. Some say he died just before the final assault, others say he died defending his wife’s sister when the Mexican Army got inside the walls.
proud to be texan
were getting them back good now
Immortal
Anyone else think of another last stand that involved 189 men against impossible odds

And now when their people are dying ted cruz just visits mexico times really change
And if I read history hopefully correctly
That when Santa Ana split his forces did not realize that general Sam Houston was headed toward him and wind up catching him history says that his army was defeated with an 18 minutes help me correct my memory and history I believe that is correct
Is this AI art?
The father of texas Stephen F Austin was there too
and its william b travis
Austin wasn’t there, what are you on about
He wasn’t there at the time of the battle, he was in Goliad with Houston
Damn I cant praise those inside the alamo bc they were fighting to preserve slavery legal
Not at all
Dude that wasn’t what they were fighting for
Santa Anna literally transferred all power from every region to Mexico only meaning the capital of Mexico.
There’s a reason he’s called the Napoleon of the west.
Or did you not learn that he abolished the Mexican Constitution of 1824.
@calebpepper391 dude santa anna was no king or emperor. Once he was beaten at the surprise attack of san jacinto and returned to México city he was fired by congress. Did you know they had slaves inside the alamo and once the Mexican army wiped out the rebels those slaves were liberated?
@@carlosbarboza3547
Wrong he only outlawed it for Texas the rest still had slaves working the mines.
Don’t read that dumb drivel from forget the Alamo.
Firsthand sources vs sources of today.
First rule of research first hand sources over second,third and so on.
@@nighthawkgaming4899that’s the truth
*The truth never admitted by White America is this: The 1836 fight at Alamo was an attempt by a losing group of previous Tennessee/Georgia land owners from the Southern Confederacy region to overtake the Mexican Fort Alamo (note the SPANISH NAME) in the Mexican territory of Texas. These Confederate area land owners were actually Invaders (NOT Settlers). This Fort was Mexican territory belonging to Mexico. Until General Santana sold California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to Presidents Grant/Polk in 1847-48. So sorry to inform America that Mexicans are NOT Illegals. They were America's Southwest Real Estate Agent. Who never ever crossed the Mexican border at the Rio Grande river. Rather..they already resided in their own (Country) Mexican territory. Where the Rio Grande demarcation State lines were drawn-up AFTER 1847-48. Moreover, Mexican Mestizos were/are part of the indigenous population of the Southwest region*

This is incorrect. The texas revolt
happened nearly 40 years before the civil war.
50 percent of the alamo defenders were mexican citizens including bowie who was also a citizen.
The Texans that were there were mostly from Louisiana and Alabama but im sure some were from Georgia. 15 Tennesseans were there lead by Crockett.
90 percent of the defenders were ether citizens or settlers. Who were there legally. You can even look up each defender and try to prove it wrong. at least 150 were ether from there or legally there.
Also funny note. The Texan revolt happened because Mexicans rebelled against the Mexican government not americans rebelling. The Texas revolt was not an American war.
The mexican rebells wanted nothing to do with Mexico.
The goal was to make Texas an independent country not a state of the USA. The only reason Texas joined the USA 10 years later was due to money issues.

*Actually..you mis-spoke because you're incorrect. Nice try..You don't know about Mexican history. You primarily know only American history. I am well versed in both. I am a Mexican American history expert. If you're going to speak on this subject. You must be an expert in MEXICAN AND AMERICAN history....Not SOLELY AMERICAN HISTORY.*
*The Texas Revolt was NOT led by Southerners from Pre-Confederacy area states. The San Antonio Texas area of Mexican property was already owned and allocated within the Mexican Federal Constitution of 1824 to be property of Mexico. Under President Guadalupe Victoria. This area of Texas was the Territorio de Nuevo Mexico region (Now New Mexico and Texas).The President Guadalupe Victoria era was from Oct 10, 1824-March 31, 1829. It was a revolt by Mexican Tejanos against Guadalupe Victoria for the struggle between National and State sovereignty within the Mexican Federal Constitution. The small band of Mexican Tejano Ranchers did not have conflict with Mexico about land ownership. They were already citizens and residents. The revolt conflict was political between Mexican Confederalists for Mexican State sovereignty, Mexican Federalists for National sovereignty, and Mexican Centralists. Who sought compromise between both under Territorial Sovereignty..end of story there.. So the conflict ensuing during the Texas Revolt from October 2, 1835 - April 21, 1836 was STRICTLY A INTERNAL-POLITICAL MEXICAN CONFLICT at the onset. The Southerners from pre-Confederacy southern states were NOT involved in the Texas Revolt. Until 5 months later when they chose to attack the Alamo on March 6, 1836. They were not fighting with Mexican Tejanos to support their internal Mexican political conflict. They instead chose this time to attack the Mexican Alamo Mission for self serving reasons to establish personal land ownership. However, the Tejanos and Illegal White Immigrants Jim Bowie, Sam Houston, and other lost the Battle at Alamo with Mexico. So, one conflict was an internally political conflict, and the other, a separate conflict for colonial invasion, and takeover of the territory. By Illegal Immigrant Invaders. Who were Pre-Confederacy era Southerners from areas later revolting against the US during Civil 1861-1865. Who fled to Texas from Southern States, as Anglo Invaders. Such, as Jim Bowie. The Banker from Louisiana. Who fled after the 1827 murder of another Louisiana Banker. These Immigrants were not Citizens of the Territorio de Nuevo Mexico region belonging to Mexico and trespassed across Mexican Ranchers land. While stealing their livestock along the way. Sometimes, in history, we ignore facts because of being painful or offensive to others or ourselves. However, the truth is what it is..Gracias, Senores. Case, closed.*
Hey! Remember the Alamo!!!
