1. When it came to the battle a the Alammo theadvantages and disadvantages weapons. The mexican army was clearly the bigger army of the two but they lacked weapons. Even though the quality of their weapons were more advance then the Texans, they could provide the quantity for such a massive army. The texans with so many weapons, were able to hold off the Mexicans for so long. The Texans major advantages were their cannons. The Mexican army were prepared for a face to facae battle with a bayonet attached to their guns; but, the Texans cannons defended them off till ammo ran out. The Texans' guns weren't quality machines and were able to use anything as ammo. With the short numbers the Texans had, the safety of hiding behind fort helped also prolong the war.

2. 1. Did Travis wear a uniform? I believe that he didn't wear a uniform. It is mentioned that a body was recovered with the name Travis but the outfit looked to be homemade. With lack of time and resources I can't see Travis actually having a uniform unless it was made from his own hands. 2. Did Travis Commit Suicide? Before I read this book I could't believe that any man on the Texan side would take their own life. These men battled to their death and never thought of surrender. So when the rumor of Travis stabbing himself before capture was said, I immediately didn't believe it. More evidence shows that he was shoot in the head in battle. 3. Did David Crockett Surrender?
I think David Crockett died fighting, being the noble person that he was wouldn't live without being free. I also believe that Santa Ana would make a mockery of the capture of Crockett with David being such a huge leader against his army. His capture I think would be shown to the world to show not to mess with Santa Anna's army. The president didn't have that reaction to the slaughter because he didn't get to humiliated the Texans the way he would of wanted. 4. Was there any Survivors?
Originally their was said to be no Texan survivors. A famous quote was, "Thermopylae had her messenger of defeat; the Alamo had none." This statement made most peoople believe no one lived; but, n reality there were survivors. There were nearly twenty woman and chlideren who saw everything but hid for the twelve day siege. The known Alamo survivor was Susanna Dickinson; she was sent to Gonzales by Santa Anna with a warning to the Texans that the same fate awaited them if they continued to revolt.

4. The Battle symbolized our two political parties. The Texans were more like the Republican Party. They are straight forward with what they want with being independent. Republicans are straight to the point and use what they have with the least amount of out sourcing. The Texans had to use what they had. Where the Mexican army remind me of the Democratic Party. They are not about one stern path and certain people or issues can help the cause. They believe in help and support of the whole nation, and with help of everyone the cause will be fulfilled.

5. I believe that these men knew the cause was bigger then living so giving up their lives for the cause of freed was worth the self-sacrifice. They were fighting for not only Texas but this new nation trying to show what they believe in. Three men that stuck out to me the most were William Travis, James Bowie, and Davey Crockett. These men could of ran out of town before the army arrived but they stayed and fought side by side with fellow followers. None of them wanted to die but they knew their cause of death would help show the fight for freedom is worth self-sacrifice. These were average men that weren't soldiers but took on the duties of leading other average men to fight for what they believed in. These men were brave and they will be remember and honored by all Texans forever. exactly what they were doing. They made these decisions because they took pride in what and who they were fighting for. All of them are honored and admired for their amazing courage and ability to take on such a great responsibility.
