Texas Revolution
Lone Star uprising
The Texas Revolution was the 1835–1836 armed conflict in which American settlers and Tejanos fought for independence from Mexico.
Key events include the siege of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, where Sam Houston's forces captured Mexican president Santa Anna.
The revolution established the Republic of Texas, which later joined the United States.
Remember the Alamo became a rallying cry.
