Alamo was a little mission station boside the township of San Antonio, at the time of action-18 36 in Mexico. Texans sottied there, wanted to be united with Texas and started shooting Mexicans to emphasise the point. Soon 182 men were holding out in the fortified mission against a Mexican army of 5,000. The siego ended after 13 days with all 182 defenders dead, with 1,700 Mexicans dead too, and the Moxi con army delayed long enough for a Texan army to carve out a great chunk of territory.
