The alamo

Mexico use to be much larger a long time ago. Texas was controlled by Mexico. Texans wanted independence from the Mexicans. The Mexicans didn't like this, so they started to attack. The Texans barricaded themselves in the Alamo. It was 200 Texans against 5'000 Mexicans. The battle lasted 13 days with the Texans losing. 600 Mexicans were killed and only 2 Texans survived. They may have won the battle, but the war wasn't over yet. In April 1836, time after at the battle of San Jacinto, the Mexicans and the Texans battled again, leaving the Texans victorious. Texas then continued to spread outwards, claiming more land and growing. Texas had gained their independence. The Alamo is still remembered to this day for the sacrifice that the Texans gave for freedom.
