It was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, an important event in the Texas Revolution where a small group of Texan defenders, including James Bowie and Davy Crockett, fought bravely against a much larger Mexican army. Despite the defeat, “Remember the Alamo†became a rallying cry for Texan independence, which was achieved later that year. Today, the Alamo is a museum and a symbol of Texans' determination and struggle for independence.
