put down santa ana. santa ana brutally suppressed this rebellion. yucatan, and san leone, they were in rebellion. i think the big moment was in and antonio with the texans taking over the mission of the alamo, that they fortifying it. surrounding san antonio are a lot of water systems. it s not bad living around the area. so whoever controls and antonio controls that part of texas. santa ana thought they could control galveston, but they had to make an inroad into san antonio.
