colonel travis, the regulars, santa ana thought this was a fight for who owns texas and he was it was easy. he was focused on san antonio, his brother-in-law was the commander when the texans captured the fort in 1965. it shows him coming this way. instead of the other route along the coast where he could by pass the alamo and arrive and resupply at san jacinto. brian: santa ana moves north. take his 2,000 troops and crush the rebellion. but the texas rebellion had a lot of previous success. sometimes success is your undoing. because we won. but they hadn t. plus you have different people
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.
