In March 1836, during the Texas Revolution, the Battle of the Alamo took place from February 23 to March 6, culminating in a decisive victory for Mexican forces led by General Santa Anna. The Texan defenders, including notable figures like James Bowie and William B. Travis, fought bravely but were ultimately overrun after a 13-day siege. The fall of the Alamo became a rallying cry for Texan independence, leading to increased support for the Texan cause against Mexican rule. Shortly after, the Texas Declaration of Independence was adopted on March 2, 1836.
