This Day in History: Siege of Béxar

On this day in 1835, Texians begin an assault on Mexican forces in San Antonio. Mere days later, Mexican General Martin Perfecto de Cos would raise a flag of truce, indicating his willingness to surrender San Antonio to the Texian Army. The capture concluded the long Siege of Béxar.

Texians were feeling pretty optimistic at this point in the Texas Revolution. Could it really be as easy as that?! They’d just won victories at Gonzales and Goliad, too.

The first victory at Gonzales had spurred many men to join the ragtag Texian Army. The men soon elected Stephen F. Austin as commander and began marching toward San Antonio de Béxar.

General Cos, Santa Anna’s brother-in-law, was there with about 650 defenders. Texians would take the city from him, if they could.

 And so it began...this day in 1836.

Santa Anna's Army began to arrive in San Antonio de Bexár on February 23, 1836. Their arrival prompted members of the Texan Army to enter the Alamo, which was by now heavily fortified. The Alamo had 18 serviceable cannons and approximately 150 men at the start of the siege.

I just missed the birthday party of my best friend since 8 years to see the Alamo. (It was worth it, i got a Davy Crockett hat.)

Today in Black History, the United States from 1836-77:

Today in Black History, a set of topics near and dear to my heart and the beginning of my historical interest, as I now see it in my 30s. The sequence of events here begin with the revolt in the 1830s by the Anglo-American colonists invited by early Mexico. They were invited under the supposedly ironclad guarantee that they would obey Mexican laws. They were invited before abolition, then after their arrival Vincente Guerrero finally forced emancipation. Since the Comanche made Mexican control of northern Mexico nominal the Anglos of Coahuila de Tejas decided to declare a Republic of Texas.

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna went to fight it, won the earlier battles, then spent time where the affairs of state took precedent over the affairs of state and got nabbed in the Battle of San Jacinto. The result was the brief, ephemoral existence of a US satellite state and the start of a crisis that would push the fabric of the United States beyond the breaking point.

From seemingly small events, great changes unleashed. It was not the first such crisis but it was the one that became nearly fatal. Agustin de Iturbide had no idea what he unleashed when he made that pact with the Austin family.
