On October 2, 1835, the Anglo-Americans decided that they needed change. Yet instead of charging into the feild they put a cannon on Mexico ground, which was attached to a flag saying Come And Take It (See Below). The mexacans seing there was no danger slowly advanced on the cannon ,and they had no idea of the Tejanos waiting behind the bush to ambush them. Once the Tejanos were sure they had caught the troops off gaurd they came out "Mexican blood spilled on Mexican land"]]> 2016-10-26 01:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133206710 Goliad Massacre l0803850 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133208671 After the fall of the Alamo, James Fannin led his men into the Goliad. But once figuring out that they were out numbered they quickly gave up and were taken hostage. One week later, Santa Anna's orders for them to be executed were recieved shock and surprise was shown on the faces who were ordered to be killed. They thought it wasn't fair for they only surrendered since they thought that they would be spared. Soon, they were all lined up out in public to show the people who were   thinking about rebelling that it wasn't a pleasant life for them. The Goliad massacre was a devastating day and the people whose lives were taken on that day are stilled very honored to this very day. The Goliad Massacre was very martyred and was remembered as an inspiring battle to the people.]]> 2016-10-26 02:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133208671 Siege of the alamo d1005608 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133433657 The Siege of the Alamo was the first 13 days of the battle at the Alamo when Santa Anna entered San Antiono de Baxer.

Texan rebels wrote a letter to the people of Texas and all americans in the world. It was written in the Alamo at San Antonio de Bejar on the second day of
the Siege of the Alamo. It was mainly a plea for help to the people of Texas
because he and his troops were surrounded by enemy forces under Mexican dictator, Santa Anna. The Texas rebels in the alamo knew they were going to die, but stayed to fight for Texas. On the letter, they signed “Victory or Death” to show that they won’t retreat or surrender. Responding to his letter,
thirty-two men arrived from Gonzales on March 1, 1836. It quickly spread
throughout Texas and throughout America.

The battle was fought in "present day" Harris county. It was the decisive battle (or issue settling) battle of the The Texas Revolution. General Houston disposed his men into battle at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Mexico, on the flip-side, was all quiet, with no knowledge of what was about to begin. The Texans were discreet and prepared behind trees and grass. At the command "Advance," 910 patriots moved quickly out of hiding and began firing their weapons. Their long rifles were oiled well. After 40 days in battle, the men were bearded and ragged. They were fierce looking. Thereafter, General Sam Houston revealed that only 783 Texans took part in the battle, but on the roster he listed 845 men who fought. Prevailing evidence showed that 910 men participated in the war. A particular song was played during the battle. The two cannons sent by Cincinnati, Ohio, named TWIN SISTERS were aimed and shot at the enemy barricade.]]> 2016-10-27 18:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133727895 l0803850 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133949060 2016-10-28 16:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133949060 l0803850 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133950789 2016-10-28 16:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133950789 l0803850 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133951293 2016-10-28 16:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133951293 l0803850 https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133952453 2016-10-28 16:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/l0803850/kfw9rcntpzuq/wish/133952453
