The battle took place in 1836 and was one of the battles of the Texas Independence War. The records say that all defenders but for two were killed. As for the Mexicans, 400-600 of them died. Later, the rest of the Mexican army was scattered and Texas gained independence from Mexico. The mission church, where the defenders' commanders died, is now the symbol of Texas..
