The decisive defeat in Texas was at the Battle of San Jacinto led by Sam Houston defeating Mexican General Santa Ana in a surprise attack.
This battle occurred after the devastating defeat of the Texans at the Alamo by the same general Santa Ana. Houston himself lost many friends and even a relative of his wife, Mary, at the Alamo.
Houston's troops were rallyed by the cry, "Remember the Alamo."
After the Battle of Goliad, about 400 rebel Texans surrendered to the Mexican army.
The Mexican Army under General Jose de Urrea.
The Mexican Army, The Texian Army and a number of volunteers.
The actual battle was not really significant, but what it did was unite the Texans into a better army and give them a cry to drive them to the end, "Remember the Alamo!". The 100 Texans manning the Alamo were vastly outnumbered by 5,000. The garrison of Texans defending the Alamo lost the battle, but the Mexican Army paid dearly for their victory there. The Mexican forces were soundly defeated at San Jacinto where they lost the war.
the texans _____________________________ The battle of the Alamo was a tactical defeat for the Texans, who were slaughtered to the last man. However, nobody ever expected the Texans to win the battle; it was a holding action, designed to delay the Mexican army under General Santa Ana. During the two weeks while the Mexican army was attacking the defenders at the Alamo, the main force of the Texan army under Sam Houston was assembling. The delay at the Alamo proved deadly to the Mexican army, which was routed at the Battle of San Jacinto a month later. Additionally, the viciousness of the Mexican army at the Alamo and at Goliad (under Santa Ana's orders, they had executed any prisoners) inflamed the Texan soldiers who overran the Mexican forces and returned the favor.
