“Remember the Alamo!”
This became a rallying cry for Texans during the Texas Revolution against Mexican forces. Tomorrow, March 6, is the perfect day to remember the Alamo. On March 6, 1836 all Texan defenders of the Alamo Mission were killed as a 13-day siege by the Mexican army led by the President of Mexico, Antonio López de Santa Anna.

The battle that would decide the outcome of the Texas Revolution, The Battle of San Jacinto, was fought on April 21, 1836. General Sam Houston led the Texans to victory against a Mexican army led by Santa Anna. Santa Anna would soon sign a peace treaty that required the Mexican army to leave the land that would become the Republic of Texas, later the US state of Texas.
The San Jacinto Monument in Houston commemorates this battle. It is the world's tallest monumental column and tallest war memorial. My 4th grade Level R reader “The San Jacinto Monument” will tell your class more interesting facts about this monument and the history of Texas.
