Remember the Alamo - Amelia E. Barr

This book covers the story of the Battle of the Alamo. Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and William Travis came to Texas – then part of Mexico as peaceful settlers under the 1824 Constitution declaring Mexico a Republic. But then President and General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna declares himself dictator abolishing the constitution. The Taxican’s make a stand for the 1824 constitution and their rights as Santa Anna masses an army to defeat them.
From Wikipedia: The Battle (and siege) of the Alamo took place at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas in February and March 1836. The battle was between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texian forces, including both Anglos (ethnic Americans) and Tejanos (ethnic Mexicans in Texas), during the Texians' fight for independence — the Texas Revolution.
The 13-day siege started Tuesday, February 23, 1836, and ended on Sunday, March 6, 1836, with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texian and Tejano defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the win, the 13-day holdout stalled the Mexican Army, and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later success at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Texian revolutionaries went on to win the war.
The battle took place at a turning point in the Texas Revolution, which had begun with the October 1835 Consultation, whose delegates narrowly approved a call for rights under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. By the time of the battle, however, sympathy for declaring independence from Mexico had grown. The delegates from the Alamo to the Constitutional Convention were both instructed to vote for independence.
