Gonzales. Mexico wanted back a cannon which was on loan to the Texans, and they refused to give it back.
There was a long term problem based on Native American raids on Texian settlements that the Mexican Army found impossible to halt. Texians resented this failure of the Arny to protect them from the Commancheria. The Mexican Army had provided a cannon to the citizens at Gonzales for use in Indian attacks. Wanting their weapon back lead to the first armed conflict between the Mexican Army and the settlers.
1) In both cases, loosely organized armed civilians stood up against a professional and numerically superior military force. 2) Both battles touched off revolutions which resulted in the successful breaking away from the mother countries (Texas from Mexico, and the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain). 3) Both battles were about the right to bear arms. The British at Lexington and Concord were sent to confiscate muskets and gunpowder from the Colonists. At Gonzales, the Mexicans were sent to take back a Mexican Army cannon which had been given to Gonzales for its defense.
No one at the Alamo said that, it was actually said at the battle of Gonzalez by a militiaman after Mexican forces tried to take back a borrowed cannon. It was written on the flag with a picture of a cannon below it. the Alamo
the battle of the bulge (:

Oh, dude, like, the Texian settlers won the Battle of Gonzales against the Mexican forces on October 2, 1835. They were like, "Hey, we want our cannon back," and the Mexicans were all, "Nah, bro, you can't have it," and then the settlers were like, "Well, we're taking it anyway," and boom, battle won. It was like a real-life game of capture the flag, but with way more guns.

Humpty Dumpty is a nursery rhyme which may have come from the story of a cannon which was raised to the top of the wall at the battle of Colchester, England. The cannon fell off the wall and the defenders could not put the cannon back on the wall. They had to surrender to the Parlimentary troops.
You can maintain your name to be Gonzales as long as the people in Mexico know how to pronounce it.

He doesn't necessarily want the "Mexicans to go back...he just doesn't want illegal Mexicans to come to the United States...because when they come to the United States they take all of the US s money
Molly Pitcher originally just carried water for the soldiers. During the battle her husband was wounded while firing a cannon. Molly ran over and took over the cannon and began firing and loading the cannon.
