Amy Bodine A-1
What started the revolution?
•The Mexican's were enforcing laws that the people didn’t want.
•They couldn’t have their own government.
The Battle of Gonzales
San Antonio “requested” the Texas city, Gonzales, to give back one of the “smoothbore cannons” that they gave them.
The Texans and Mexicans were involved.
The Texans won the battle of Gonzales.
The battle of Bexar!
The Texans defeated the Mexican government.
The Texans gathered Mexican troops reclaiming the cannon which led to the next battle
The battle of the Alamo The Texans had people go the the Alamo to
help defend it if San Antonio went there. But they didn’t worry to much because they thought that they would win if they had a battle.
The battle lasted 13 days and the Mexicans won.
After the battle, the Mexicans burned all of the bodies and made it so that no one could claim there son, husband, dad, or brother.
The battle of Goliad The Texans and Mexicans were fighting
at the battle of Goliad and the Texans retreated.
The “retreat was slow and disorganized” that Santa Anna got to them and “surrounded them East of Goliad.
The Texans surrendered but the Mexicans still killed them which was “a big mistake.”
THE BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO!
The battle of San Jacinto is the last battle. Since general Sam Houston kept running from the Mexicans, they thought they would loose the revolution.
General Sam Houston was really buying time for the army to train, so that he could have a better army.
General Sam Houston finally came to fight San Antonio by the San Jacinto river. He won the battle and San Antonio escaped, but wearing a soldier uniform, but was caught the next day.
The end of the Texas revolution
The Texans won! After the battle of San Jacinto people were a little scared to see what has happened to there homes.
San Antonio burnt the city Harrisburg to the ground so they would have to go somewhere else or start building there homes.
The USA accepted Texas into our home land so Texas is now a part of the USA.
