  • Chapter 10: the Alamo and Goliad
    The Alamo and Goliad Why It Matters The Texans’ courageous defense of the Alamo cost Santa Anna high casualties and upset his plans. The Texas forces used the opportunity to enlist volunteers and gather supplies. The loss of friends and relatives at the Alamo and Goliad filled the Texans with determination. The Impact Today The site of the Alamo is now a shrine in honor of the defenders. People from all over the world visit the site to honor the memory of those who fought and died for the cause of Texan independence. The Alamo has become a symbol of courage in the face of overwhelming difficulties. 1836 ★ February 23, Santa Anna began siege of the Alamo ★ March 6, the Alamo fell ★ March 20, Fannin’s army surrendered to General Urrea ★ March 27, Texas troops executed at Goliad 1835 1836 1835 1836 • Halley’s Comet reappeared • Betsy Ross—at one time • Hans Christian Andersen published given credit by some first of 168 stories for making the first American flag—died 222 CHAPTER 10 The Alamo and Goliad Compare-Contrast Study Foldable Make this foldable to help you compare and contrast the Alamo and Goliad—two important turning points in Texas independence.

Price District Clerk D-1-GN-20-006852 Travis County CAUSE NO. _________________ D-1-GN-20-006852 Victoria Benavides KIM ELLIOT MCMORRIES, M.D. § IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF PLAINTIFF § § v. § TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS § TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD § 459TH DEFENDANT § ______ JUDICIAL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO TEX. GOV’T CODE § 2001.038 AND REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, TEMPORARY INJUNCTION, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Plaintiff Kim Elliot McMorries (“Dr. McMorries”), filing this Original Petition for Declaratory Judgment Pursuant to TEX. GOV’T CODE § 2001.038, and Request for Temporary Restraining Order, Temporary Injunction, and Permanent Injunction against Defendant Texas Medical Board (“Board” or “TMB”). In support thereof, Dr. McMorries would respectfully show unto the Court as follows: I. Summary of the Action: 1. The Texas Medical Board is about to do exactly what the Texas Legislature has prohibited. The Texas Legislature stated that “the [Texas Medical] [B]oard may not consider or act on a complaint involving care provided more than seven years before the date on which the complaint is received ….” TEXAS OCCUPATIONS CODE § 154.051(d) (emphasis added). Despite that law, and despite initially following that law, the Board now stands on the cusp of instigating a contested case with the State Office of Administrative Hearings over complaints involving care provided in the 1980’s, more than three decades ago. The Board does so based on a Board rule that twists the Texas Legislature’s words to the point of outright defiance of the Legislature’s intent.

    DAWN AT THE ALAMO 0. DAWN AT THE ALAMO - Story Preface 1. ANGLOS COLONIZE MEXICO 2. TENSIONS IN TEXAS 3. REVOLUTION IN TEXAS 4. THE ALAMO 5. DAWN AT THE ALAMO 6. THE ALAMO BATTLE 7. GOLIAD MASSACRE 8. REMEMBER THE ALAMO Flying a red flag, and apparently playing the El Degüello bugle call, Santa Anna and his troops signaled to the Alamo defenders that no quarter would be given. Put differently, Santa Anna was sending a message that his men would allow no Alamo defender to live. Without reinforcements, the Alamo defenders did not have a chance to survive Santa Anna’s overwhelming firepower. This image depicts a flag of “No Quarter.” At the start of his Alamo siege, Santa Anna ordered the red flag of 'no quarter' to be flown from the bell tower of San Fernando Church. His objective, of course, was to intimidate the men inside the fort. Travis had desperately sought reinforcements. Davy Crockett, a frontiersman and former Tennessee congressman - this document certifies his election to that post - joined the Texians with a small group of Mounted Tennessee Volunteers in early February. Juan Seguin, a highly respected Tejano, was out of the fort the morning of the final assault. (It is thought he may have crossed Mexican lines more than once in his effort to find assistance for the beleaguered defenders.) James Bowie, who had been leader of the volunteers and Alamo co-commander with Travis, was extremely ill with (according to most accounts) typhoid fever. James Butler Bonham, who was twenty-eight years old at the time, arrived in Texas during late 1835.

  • Battle of the Alamo 1 Battle of the Alamo
    Battle of the Alamo 1 Battle of the Alamo The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas). All but two of the Texian defenders were killed. Santa Anna's perceived cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution. Several months prior, Texians had driven all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas. Approximately 100 Texians were then garrisoned at the Alamo. The Texian force grew slightly with the arrival of reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis. On February 23, approximately 1,500 Mexican troops marched into San Antonio de Béxar as the first step in a campaign to re-take Texas. For the next 12 days the two armies engaged in several skirmishes with minimal casualties. Aware that his garrison could not withstand an attack by such a large force, Travis wrote multiple letters pleading for more men and supplies, but fewer than 100 reinforcements arrived. In the early morning hours of March 6, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. After repulsing two attacks, Texians were unable to fend off a third attack.
