Those 32 volunteers were actually from Tennessee. That is one of the reasons why Tennessee is know as the volunteer state. It was the only state to send men in mass to help fight for Texas independence.
Georgia Battalion = The Georgia Battalion of Permanent Volunteers, which became part of James W. Fannin's provisional regiment in the Goliad Campaign of 1836, occupies a unique position in the Texas Revolution, since Georgia was possibly the only state in the Union to supply arms during the conflict from its state arsenal to a Texas volunteer force. The battalion was organized by its commander, William Ward, in Macon, Georgia, after a town meeting on November 12, 1835. With the aid of Dr. Robert Collins, Ward enlisted about 120 men from Macon, Milledgeville, and Columbus, Georgia, formed them into three companies, and armed, supplied, and transported the unit to Texas at personal expense and with the aid of the Georgia arsenal.
The Immortal 32 were from Gonzales, Texas, where a monument now stands in their memory. There were at least 31 men from Tennessee who were already at the Alamo and defended it to the end. The Alamo’s defenders came from many states and countries as far away as England, Denmark, Ireland, and Germany. No matter where they were from, they all died as Texans.
Native Texan and a descendant of a Battle of San Jacinto veteran. Nothing illustrates the history of a battle to a viewer like a 3D depiction. The realism of the area is impressive. The long barracks portion of the video was far more telling of what happened - using the Texans' own cannons against the fortified doors to gain entry. I've been inside the long barracks, and it is narrow. The area is dark and almost claustrophobic. One can only imagine the hand to hand combat with the Mexicans having the advantage of overwhelming numbers and bayonets fighting in pitch dark. Thank you for your work on this video. Very impressive.
I took a tour of the Alamo when we were there for a convention about 10 years ago, and you're right about those long barracks areas. My god I can't imagine being in there with AVERAGE people (We had a private tour voucher) let alone armed people who would rather prefer I am no longer alive! That must have been absolutely TERRIFYING!
@@Shinobi33 You must be a Mexican, I don't think the true history of Texas is taught in Mexico. Texas became a country for ten years, then became a State in the Union, at the request of the Texans.
At some point during the final battle, around 50-60 men attempted to escape from the Alamo. They left in three groups, one going west towards the San Antonio River. Another went South and another went East. All three groups are set upon by Mexican cavalry and massacred. It's not known if this was part of an organized, or pre-planned, escape attempt, or if the defenders panicked and ran for their lives. One defender is known to have survived the final battle. Brigido Guerrero was fromerly a Mexican soldier who defected to the Texian side at some point before the Siege of Bexar in 1835. When he saw that it was hopeless, Guerrero locked himself in a cell. He convinced the Mexican soldiers he was a prisoner of the Texians and was spared. After the war he remained in Texas and received a pension from the State for his service.
I have heard that before, but I don't think anyone knows for sure. Anyway it doesn't matter, that is normal behavior for a party of fifty men, surrounded by a much superior force.
@@thomaswayneward not always , recomend you to read about tori mototada it was 40 thousands against 2000 and at last 10 man made their last stand for hours until tori perform sepukku so the enemy don’t have the honor of killing him
A and according to Gen. Sesma's field journal one group got in an irrigation ditch and put up a "stiff defense" he had to send in another company of cavalry, the Alamo had been over run so they were essentially pushed out.
Not just Texas, several Mexican provinces opposed Santa Anna's dictatorship and Centrist government , he jettisoned the Mexican Constitution and imposed a despotic government.
Yes, a despotic government that wanted to get rid of slavery. I think the Texicans would have been fine with whatever government was in charge as long as they got to keep their slaves.
Native Texan here and I really enjoyed this video. The 3D animation really serve to bring this 188 year old event to life. Makes we want to go back and visit the site again, especially now that've begun expanding to encompass the original perimeter of the mission. They recently opened up a reconstruction of the Lunette/Mission Gate and of the southwest corner emplacement of the 18 pounder. Exciting times.
I would suggest using actual photos of or the likeness of the men like Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett instead of images of actors that played those men in movies. That kind of takes away some of the serious nature the video seems to depict.
It’s not that the Texans weren’t loyal to the Mexican government. They wanted the Constitution of 1824 reinstated after the government suspended it in favor of a more centralized government. Had Mexico retained it’s federalist constitution it would have been a first world nation with an unrivaled tourist industry.
This so totally correct- that’s why the flag at the Alamo was the Mexican flag with 1824 on it- They weren’t squatters either- they were Mexican Citizens who rejected dictator Santa Anna- Further- this wasn’t the “first encounter” - the Mexican Government tried to disarm the people in Gonzales- this was BEFORE the Alamo- - in fact there was also the Battle of San Antonio that was also BEFORE the battle of the Alamo- This is why history gets so messed up- simple and verifiable facts this video ignores and gets completely wrong
This is well done, but have to correct you. Bowie was not in command. William Travis was, as a LTC in the Texan Army. He and Bowie nominally split command of regular soldiers and volunteers, with the latter reporting to Bowie. There was no passing of command to a co-commander, Travis merely assumed command of Bowie’s people when he fell ill.
All is fair in love and war. Immigrants pouring in and then outnumbering the local population. This is simply happening again in our time. The Mexicans outnumber locals in plenty of US cities and towns.
The assault took place at around 4:00 am, in pitch darkness. It was very similar to Santa Anna's attack on Zapatecas, going in with the bayonet against a sleeping garrison. The resulting struggle was unlike any depiction you see in movies or TV. Several groups of the sleep deprived garrison tried to flee, most were ridden down by waiting Mexican cavalry.
The resulting struggle was like the depiction we see in movies and TV. There were no groups of the sleep deprived garrison that tried to flee. Most were not written down by waiting Mexican cavalry
Just a small fact everyone seems to forget here: Texas was a pro-slavery at the time -- south Texas was not a part of the United States and Mexico was an abolitionist country. The fools who defended the Alamo were volunteers who volunteered for their own deaths for no real reason -- there was no political or strategic need for this battle to happen. And if anyone claims that it contributed to Texas statehood, they're wrong. In fact, the Alamo wasn't revered as a place of historical and cultural significance until the 1950's. For people who believe that the Alamo is an example of American resistance to foreign affairs and the right of Texans to claim what they believe is theirs -- all of this is based on a myth. But any Texan who reads this will not do any form of objective research and will instead thumbs this comment down. So be it.
And a large portion was Tejanos. This gets lost as afterward when more anglos come to Texas they shoot at anyone hispanic claiming their mexican, leading to a lot of Tejanos leaving or switching sides like Seguin. The flag at the Alamo was an 1824 flag pointing to the Mexican Constitution.
@@charlesfinnigan3904 On the day the Alamo fell there were 4,500 Mexicans in Texas, and nearly all of them were around Brownsville, on the Rio Grande. Mexico tried to settle Texas for 200 years and could not get Mexicans to move to Texas. Hot weather and Comanches had something to do with it. The day the Alamo fell, there were 22,000 Anglos in Texas. Nearly all of the land grants the Texas/Mexican people owned were honored by the Texas government. Mexicans started really coming into Texas when air conditioning was invented. LOL
@@thomaswaynewardi think the comanches had something more to do with it than hot weather. You act as if mexicans in northern mexico werent living in a desert climate and who actually bakes first under the sun?…it aint mexicans. Nice try though
Thank you, Englishman for telling and showing my home state's history. However, technically it was the Republic of Texas, we were our own country. Up until the Mexican-American War 10 years later, when we joined the Union as the 28th state of the United States of America. :D
Analysis and details of the battle are better than most. However, the description of the lead up to the battle, mainly the politics could use a few more sentences. For example, The Mexican Government/Santa Ana regime increasing taxes on pre-sold land and conditions as well as the resemblance of Taxation without Representation. Much of the political aspect reflects much of the American Revolutionary War. Nonetheless, good details on the battle; though a few decades later, the not-up-to-date New World is still using Early Napoleonic War tactics, the line, grapeshot, etc.
Santa Anna was a despot and narcissist, just a dictator, he said in his own writings the Mexican peoples were too stupid to govern themselves and that "despotism was the only recourse" and "even if I were God I would wish for more".
Santa Ana did not "immediately" head off to quell the rebellion. He first had to put down several in lower Mexico first. It was a few months before he got around to doing north, months in which the Texians successfully turned out the Centralist forces sent to quell them. The Texians general supported the Federalists of Mexico, but eventually decided to form their own country.
There were also a group of mexican soldiers at the west wall. The Mexican’s attacking the south attacked the wooden position near the chapel but were repelled , retreated and than aimed for the canon at the south west corner and eventually took it.
Good explanation on the battle. They held out for 13 days. The battle was actually for the most part fought in the dark unlike the 1960 John Wayne epic that had the Mexican Army storm the Alamo in broad daylight. Also, the Mexican accounts have it that Davey Crockett was captured and put to death by bayonets on Santa Ana's orders versus the 1960 movie having blown himself in the powder room in a glorious act of defiance. Your depiction of where they stormed the walls is accurate.
Read Groneman book Death of a Legend,to find out how fully fowled up that story is. It never should have been included in the 2004 movie. The movie was a flop anyway probably because of it .
There is 0 proof Crockett was executed, lots of opinions, speculation etc but no proof and unlike the movies nobody in the Mexican army knew who Crockett was.
@@S.M.Mer0 The European DNA in Mexico is almost nonexistent. Some Chinese are "white" skin colored, but they are not white as normally thought of. Most Mexicans are dark skinned.
It's kinda cool how big the Alamo was. Like if you go today to San Antonio, what's left of the Alamo is bigger than you'd imagine and a significant portion of it is gone! if it were still there it would stretch across the street and be where there are currently shops
I don’t know if it is still there, but in Bracketville, TX there was a life-sized recreation of the Alamo you could visit. It had been used in a couple of movies I believe. It was cool to visit when I was young. You’re right, it’s much bigger than what is left now in San Antonio.
Colonel David "Davy" Crockett was know as "The King of The Wild Frontier." NOT "The King of The Wild West." As a Native Tennessean and Transplanted Texan, I should know about that. Estimates of the Texan Force inside the Alamo varies. There are estimates from 170 to 200 Volunteers. The exact number isn't historically truly known.
Lol, sorry but John Wayne's outfit is ridiculous. Looks like he bought a racoon hat from a gift shop, borrowed a fringe jacket from a hippy, and wire it over one of his regular 1960s shirts. They didn't really bother with too much authenticity.
All you folks splitting hairs over the republic or state being born is like complaining when a person says they were born. "Oh, the adult you wasn't born, the baby you was born!" Get over it.
You forgot about the slaves the Americans brought and the fact that Mexico outlawed slavery. So Texans called them indentured servants for 99 years. So Texas declared war twice for slavery.
It is important to understand that the Texans weren't ungrateful immigrants rebelling against their adopted country. They had immigrated to Mexico when it was a Republic. Santa Ana led a coup against the lawful government, installing a military dictatorship. This was not what the settlers had signed up for; for free men, a revolt was inevitable.
as a aussie who has visited the alamo i was struck by how low the walls were if you put someone on your shoulders you could virtually get inside these defenders certainly had spirit and guts because i would of left before santa anna arrived until you could get more troops thats why he sent the letter out for more men but he left it too late and it ultimately cost them all their lives
Incorrect not the first fight in the war although I love the use of John Wayne’s Davy Crocket but there was the original takeing of the fort and several smaller engagements this is just the largest know battle besides Gonzales in October the previous year
I hope I'm understanding it correctly. So Mexicans allowed Americans to move into Mexican land and Americans just decided they wanted to steal the land ?
I must do a correction on your opening statement: They Were loyal. When Santa Anna took power, he illegally changed the Mexican Constitution. After several years of talking with the settlers, who were now Mexican citizens, Santa Anna stripped them of their property and expelled them. They had nothing and nowhere to go. They still negotiated as now dictator for life Santa Anna marched a massive army of mostly peasant conscripts and some elite veterans north. After entering the province, they looted and killed most before them. Get your facts straight and No, I'm not Texan. I'm Alaskan.
The white imigrants brought slaves and that was illegal. They also planed to bring in tens of thousands of slaves. Thats why Santana went there to end slavery.
Author Bill Groneman, book DEATH OF A LEGEND, MYTH & MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF DAVY CROCKETT. Explores the subject to its logical conclusion . It looks like the movie with Crockett on his knees was completely in error and without factual basis. Groneman is an expert of the factual history of David Crockett .
Native Texan here. I have to mention a correction. You said the Mexicans met the Texian rebels for the first time at the Alamo, but the first battle of the Texas Revolution was the Battle of Gonzalez, where the iconic phrase/flag "Come and Take It" was used. Also, there was the battle/massacre of Goliad where nearly 350 Texians died defending that fort. Many Texians shouted "Remember Goliad" during the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto.
@@LX.Zandaaa62 Wow you made a big uninformed assumption there. I'm not white Anglo, I'm Mexican indigenous. My ancestors are Chichimecan, Coahuiltecan, and Spanish. My bloodline on my father's side comes from South Texas since before it was Spanish, Mexican, Texan, and American.
Mexico fue a desalojar a los inmigrantes ilegales que habian invadido Texas.....Ni uno solo de los que declararon la ^Independencia^ habia nacido en Texas, por lo tanto ese territorio sigue perteneciendo a Mexico en sus dimensiones originales.

@@NOLAgenX And Brackettville was too small, they thought they'd made it 3/4 scale but it wasn't.
That was a really cool animation. Great job
Colonel David "Davy" Crockett was know as "The King of The Wild Frontier." NOT "The King of The Wild West." As a Native Tennessean and Transplanted Texan, I should know about that. Estimates of the Texan Force inside the Alamo varies. There are estimates from 170 to 200 Volunteers. The exact number isn't historically truly known.
Lol, sorry but John Wayne's outfit is ridiculous. Looks like he bought a racoon hat from a gift shop, borrowed a fringe jacket from a hippy, and wire it over one of his regular 1960s shirts. They didn't really bother with too much authenticity.
His hair cut was 1960 😅
Excellent work friend. Keep going like that 👍😉👌.
Thank you so much 😀
Wow what a cool way to display the battle!
After living in Texas for 2 years, I have no idea why people would fight over that land.
Love this style
One man that got word out for relief was Juan Seguin. His father helped pen the Mexican Constition, which Santa Anna ripped up when he seized power.
Frikkin awesome 💯 💯 💯
Very well made and informative video. Greetings from sweden
And now there's a Pat O Briens and Chipotle right own the street lol from this historical landmark. Wild
History may repeat itself
Didn't Ozzy Osbourne barf on the Alamo and the bite of the head of a bat and spit it out on the Alamo. 😳
I think he took a piss on it whilst drunk one night. He was banned from the state I think for a good while lol
Good animation, but your layout is wrong.
All you folks splitting hairs over the republic or state being born is like complaining when a person says they were born. "Oh, the adult you wasn't born, the baby you was born!" Get over it.
This is incredible!
Grew up visiting my dad in San an. Have been to the Alamo multiple times
You forgot about the slaves the Americans brought and the fact that Mexico outlawed slavery. So Texans called them indentured servants for 99 years. So Texas declared war twice for slavery.
LOL
Yeah but that undercuts their stupid myth.
It is important to understand that the Texans weren't ungrateful immigrants rebelling against their adopted country. They had immigrated to Mexico when it was a Republic. Santa Ana led a coup against the lawful government, installing a military dictatorship. This was not what the settlers had signed up for; for free men, a revolt was inevitable.
Except if they were black enslaved people :D
@@MrLichster It wasn't about slavery, that's current PC BS.
as a aussie who has visited the alamo i was struck by how low the walls were if you put someone on your shoulders you could virtually get inside these defenders certainly had spirit and guts because i would of left before santa anna arrived until you could get more troops thats why he sent the letter out for more men but he left it too late and it ultimately cost them all their lives
Remember the Alamo.
love it
This was pretty great
Incorrect not the first fight in the war although I love the use of John Wayne’s Davy Crocket but there was the original takeing of the fort and several smaller engagements this is just the largest know battle besides Gonzales in October the previous year
Nicely done.
Geronimo made both sides look like a bunch of little girls 😆
Better mic and you’re good to go very cool animations
That's ironic, now the US's relationship with TX is tenuous.
I hope I'm understanding it correctly. So Mexicans allowed Americans to move into Mexican land and Americans just decided they wanted to steal the land ?
Así son y no aprendemos
@@abcdm1442 dice El dicho que El que no aprende de su historia ESTA condenado a repertirla y Creo que es verdad.
@@TiroArribaZacatecas no me mires a mi
Which Alamo movie is better , the one from the 60s (John wayne) or 2004? Or are they both 🗑?
Meanwhile natives are like “dude, what the helllll is going on?!”
The slaves that were freed by Santana where very gratefull to Mexico.
The lone star state? No. The republic of Texas.
The last of the defenders were not in the church. They where in the long barracks.
Flying a flag letting them know you are not taking prisoners is probably not the smartest move. Id fly the accepting prisoners flag instead.
Can you do the battle of Cowpens SC please!
Todo sea por tener esclavos. Cierto?
I must do a correction on your opening statement: They Were loyal. When Santa Anna took power, he illegally changed the Mexican Constitution. After several years of talking with the settlers, who were now Mexican citizens, Santa Anna stripped them of their property and expelled them. They had nothing and nowhere to go. They still negotiated as now dictator for life Santa Anna marched a massive army of mostly peasant conscripts and some elite veterans north. After entering the province, they looted and killed most before them. Get your facts straight and No, I'm not Texan. I'm Alaskan.
Santa Anna also lied to the provinces and wanted to padlock the doors to the Mexican Legislature.
You are totally correct - this animation gets a lot of stuff wrong
@@lehmannadventures3439 Good animation though. Reminds me of playing with army soldiers as a boy
The white imigrants brought slaves and that was illegal. They also planed to bring in tens of thousands of slaves. Thats why Santana went there to end slavery.
It is you that need to get your facts straight. Also they didn't move and kill most before them
They gave us Texas with their blood and we’ve given up the border with our laziness
*WHICH border the East Coast or Southern? We had LOTS of Irish/ Italians/ Eastern Europeans come in...wouldn't U say?*
The “powers that be” were/are in charge of both the stealing of Mexican territory and also the porous border
Good.
Remember the Alamo!!!
Great video
That's "King of the Wild Frontier" Davey Crocket lol
Lone Star State had been born? Wasn't Texas it's own country and later joined the US?
I remember The Alamo!
Santa Ana has to be one of the worst tacticians in American history lmao
Author Bill Groneman, book DEATH OF A LEGEND, MYTH & MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF DAVY CROCKETT. Explores the subject to its logical conclusion . It looks like the movie with Crockett on his knees was completely in error and without factual basis. Groneman is an expert of the factual history of David Crockett .
Did San Antonio look like a desert back then as this animation depicts?
No, mainly prairie.
No, it was lush prairie - look at the S.A. River Walk
I remember gawd dammit
Did they keep his wooden leg?
Viva Mexico!
Texas loves Tennessee
cant wait for tx to be mexico again
Native Texan here. I have to mention a correction. You said the Mexicans met the Texian rebels for the first time at the Alamo, but the first battle of the Texas Revolution was the Battle of Gonzalez, where the iconic phrase/flag "Come and Take It" was used. Also, there was the battle/massacre of Goliad where nearly 350 Texians died defending that fort. Many Texians shouted "Remember Goliad" during the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto.
You're a white Anglo immigrant, you aren't native nor are you a native from Texas.
@@LX.Zandaaa62 Wow you made a big uninformed assumption there. I'm not white Anglo, I'm Mexican indigenous. My ancestors are Chichimecan, Coahuiltecan, and Spanish. My bloodline on my father's side comes from South Texas since before it was Spanish, Mexican, Texan, and American.
@@LX.Zandaaa62response?
Mexico fue a desalojar a los inmigrantes ilegales que habian invadido Texas.....Ni uno solo de los que declararon
la ^Independencia^ habia nacido en Texas, por lo tanto ese territorio sigue perteneciendo a Mexico en sus dimensiones
originales.
i always herd texans said they won 10 to 1 they never mentioned they had to get more men and that 10 to 1 was a los
