墨西哥將軍安東尼奧‧羅培茲‧聖塔‧安那 (Antonio López de Santa Anna) 於183636日收復白楊鎮 (Alamo)

1836年月6日的早晨,聖塔‧安那將軍收復了白楊鎮教堂,結束了13天的包圍行動。估計約有10001600名墨西哥士兵在這場戰爭中死亡。而184名美國人之中,只有一人生還。

1836421日,德州軍隊的指揮官山姆‧休士頓 (Sam Houston) 率領800名軍隊突襲聖塔‧安那的1600名士兵。他們高喊著「記住白楊鎮!」德州軍隊在18 分鐘內就贏得了山傑森脫之戰 (Battle of San Jacinto) ,而德州也正式脫離墨西哥而獨立。在德州於1845年成為美國一州之前,已經維持了近10年的獨立地位。


On the morning of March 6, 1836, General Santa Anna recaptured the Alamo, ending the 13-day siege. An estimated 1,000 to 1,600 Mexican soldiers died in the battle. Only one of the 184 Americans survived.

On April 21, 1836, Sam Houston, commander of the Texas Army, led 800 troops in a surprise attack on Santa Anna's 1,600 men. Shouting, "Remember the Alamo!" the Texas Army won the battle at San Jacinto in 18 minutes and secured Texas independence from Mexico. Texas remained independent for nearly 10 years, becoming a state in 1845.
