Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We are talking about the famous Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. On February 23, 1836, thousands of troops led by Mexican General Antonio López de Sanatana, arrived at San Antonio to siege the Alamo. By March the 6th, the soldiers of General Santana capture the fort. This battle shaped the outcome of the Texas Revolution in that it made Texans support the revolutionary movement against México to the that on April 21, 1836, the Texan army led by General Sam Houston confronted the Mexican Army in the bloody battle of San Jacinto, in Galveston, near Houston.
