lmao. my friend, maybe we need to check YOUR math. the texans were outnumbered about 16 to 1. not 300 to 1. if the texans were outnumbered 300 to 1, then that would have to mean thered be over 55000+ mexican troops.

In 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
In the case of Texas, our great state was born out of the blood spilled at the Alamo. All that we have and all that we are can be traced back to that time when men from all over the country convened on a small mission in Central Texas to make a stand and leave behind a legacy of honor, determination and patriotism that is now the very backbone of this great state.
