[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1326547, member: 625513"] Um, do you know what happened at the Alamo, how it fit into the overall history of Texas independence? I think not. The Alamo was a delaying tactic, not a last stand, that allowed the ultimate victory at San Jacinto. Santa Ana should have just left the Alamo defenders pinned down with a small garrison and marched forward with his main force. But then San Jacinto and the rest of the story. If you want a better analogy from the Texas war for independence you might consider the Battle of Gonzales.I think that's more how those who don't like the "retiring" of the War Chant feel.
