Reply to comment by quaffi0 in TIL of the Battle of San Jacinto. Just six weeks after the Texans terrible loss at The Alamo in 1836. The Texans regrouped under Sam Houston, and surprised the Mexican forces and overwhelming defeated the Mexicans. The Texans had 11 soldiers killed and the Mexicans lost 650. by triviafrenzy

Growing up, we talked about it a lot. But since it was Texas we just talked about the “rumor” of Houston abandoning the Alamo, because to say it as truth undermined Texan identity. It was a weird thing that even as 9 YOs we treated it like that.
