Answer:

they did not surrender the cannon to Mexico and won first battle.

Step-by-step explanation:

OCTOBER 02

1835

First shots of the Texas Revolution fired in the Battle of Gonzales

In 1835, the president of Mexico, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, overthrew the constitution and appointed himself dictator. Recognizing that the “American” Texans were likely to use his rise to power as an excuse to secede, Santa Anna ordered the Mexican military to begin disarming the Texans whenever possible. This proved more difficult than expected, and on October 2, 1835, Mexican soldiers attempting to take a small cannon from the village of Gonzales encountered stiff resistance from a hastily assembled militia of Texans. After a brief fight, the Mexicans retreated and the Texans kept their cannon. if a small hastily assembled group could fight the Mexican army and win then a planned large group could definitely defeat the Mexican army .
