The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Alamo defenders brought their wives and children into the walls of the Alamo to use them as a shield and try to dissuade the enemy's troops from capture the symbolic building.

The Battle of the Alamo started on February 23, 1863, and ended on March 6, 1836. The Mexican troops sent by Mexican President Antonio López de Santana defeated the troops in San Antonio, Texas. As a result of this battle, people from Texas decided to become independent from México. And the fight continued.
