The Alamo
The Alamo (Spanish word for “cottonwood”)
The Alamo was built in 1718 as part of the original Mission, San Antonio de Valero.
The Alamo became the spiritual birthplace of the Republic of Texas after the battle of March 6th 1836. The president of Mexico, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, defeated a band of patriots commanded by Colonel William Barrett Travis. Among other Texas defenders, all killed, were David Crockett, Jim Bowie, and a number of Mexican descent. Twenty women and children were spared.
“Remember The Alamo” became the battle cry that helped Texans defeat the Mexican army at San Jacinto, and insure Texas’ independence.
