Sidebar-

Little appreciated fact- at the time Texans were living there at the sufferance of the Mexican government, ie Texas was part of Mexico, Mexico demanded they stop the practice of slavery, Mexico having banned slavery in 1820. Texans refused.

So the glorious last stand at the Alamo was actually fought in defense of slavery. You won't find that on the plaque in San Antonio.
