Because he was in the hospital. The Alamo was surrounded. Destroying the Alamo meant killing all inside which is what the end result was anyway. By not destroying it, they were able to take more Mexican soldiers with them hence weakening Santa Anna's army.
The Alamo was a fort used by Texans during the Texan Revolution, it was formerly a Spanish Religious outpost which was later converted to a for which was used to withstand attacks from native tribes. The Battle of the Alamo though was to buy time. As the forces of the Mexican army led by President General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna gathered together to take Texas. The small garrison of soldiers at the Alamo were to hold off the Mexicans, as General Sam Houston rounded up his forces. Though the Alamo fell, Santa Anna was defeated at the battle of San Jacinto, led by General Sam Houston
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

San Antonio is the city where the Alamo took place in

It meant "no quarter", or that Santa Anna did not intend to take any prisoners in the coming battle. All who surrender would be killed. No quarter meant there will be no chance to surrender. to the Texans if you want to save your life u will surrender. and leave the Alamo shrine immediately
yes he did -super donut54
To say "give no quarter" means to show mercy, take no prisoners, death to all who challenges. A visual of no quarter is a red flag (usually with you insignia on it). A flag of no quarter was flown by Sgt. Santa Anna at the Alamo.

The only two survivors of the Alamo were Captain Dickenson's wife and Colonel Travis' slave. They were not military personnel, and Santa Anna had no reason to kill them or take them prisoner. And, just possibly, he wanted these survivors to tell what happened to the Alamo so that Texan morale would be weakened.

General Santa Ana could not advance further to take on the rest of the Texan Army with an armed garrison in his rear that could disrupt his lines communications and supply.
