    The next day Travis and some of his men notice that the Mexican army has arrived so they start getting prepared and rounding all the men and weapons up. Then Jim Bowie goes across the bridge to see if he could make truce with them but Travis ends up telling one of his men to fire the cannon and causes the Mexican army to declare war . Then Mexican army raises there flag up . And then that night the Mexican army starts to fire there cannons repeatedly at the town then the next morning David Crocket shoots at the Mexican leader and starts more trouble.

  2. Mexico and Texans decided to go at war . Jim Bowie tried to make a true with mexico but then Travis shot the first cannon and started war. After that Mexico put up a flag signifying that all will be dead unless they surrender. That same night mexico plays a song that mean slit throat in English . After the song they started firing at Texans. David Crockett fired a Mexican Official and one that happened they fought again. When the first cannon was fired it did not spark so Travis decided to use it again.

    Jim Bowie went over to the Mexicans to try to make a truce with them. While Jim Bowie is talking to the Mexicans, Travis shot a cannon which triggered the war. After Travis shot the cannon, the Mexicans rose a flag saying that they will kill anyone who refuses to surrender. That same night, the Mexicans start firing cannons at the Texans. The morning after, David Crocket shot at the Mexican Leader. This caused more problems and continued the war.

    Texas shot the first cannon which made them go to war with Mexico. Jim Bowie decided he wanted to try and make a truce with Mexico, but it didn't work since Kernel Travis decided to shoot the cannon. Once they were at war, the mexicans put up the flag which means "Death to the Traitors". Once it was second day at war, David Crockett shot at the Mexican leader but did not kill him. Because of that situation, the war continued and got war.

  6. Today during "The Alamo", the church bell was ringing to warn the town,so they could protect themselves from Mexico. The town needs more men to protect themselves. The Colonel is trying to gain a truce for his people. A flag is put up saying that whoever does not surrender will be killed. Mexico is firing cannons hopefully to get Texas to surrender, but they will never give up. The colonels feel that surrendering is not an option because it will show weakness. Mexico is afraid of what Davy Crockett might be planning to do.

  7. Jim went to make a agreement for both sides to surrender. As he was doing that Travis had the men fire the first canyon. The declared the beginning of the war. The Mexicans put up a flag meaning "Death to the traitors" meaning they'd kill anyone that got in their way and wouldn't surrender to them. At the end David Crocket shot the Mexican leader, causing more problems to this war.

  8. Bowie tried to make a truce with the Mexican Army. Before he could, Travis shot a canon at them. The Mexicans raised a flag that meant "death to the traitors". The Mexicans then serenaded the Texans with a song, which meant "slit throat". The next thing you know, canons were shot from the Mexicans side. After that was over, it was nighttime and some people were dead, and some were sleeping. The morning after, Crockett shot the Mexican leader, and they fired back with a cannonball, but it didn't explode.

  9. In the Alamo, Jim tired to make a tuce with the Mexicans. It didn't work because Travis told his men to fire the canon. The Mexican Army took it offensivly and declared war. The ened up putting up a flag wich stoood for "death to traitors". Than the Mexican Army started firing their canons all night and Travis' men realized that the army ended up coming closer at night. Than the Mexican Army shot a canon but it didn't explode, so Travis ended up picking up to use it againts them.

  10. Mexico and Texas went to war, because Texas shot the first cannon. They put a flag up that said death to the traitors. Meaning that if you didn't surrender you'll be killed. The colonels did not surrender, because they thought it will show weekness. The night all of this took place, Mexico played a song that meant "slit throat". the next day Crokette shot the Mexican leader in his arm, they fired back with a cannonball that did not explode. and the colonel used it.

  11. In the beginning, Jim Boye went to the bridge to make a truce with the Mexicans. In spite, Travis fired the 18 lb cannon. A little bit later, the Mexicans put up a flag meaning saying "Death to the Traitors", meaning they will kill whoever doesn't surrender. The next morning, the Texans realized that the Mexicans moved their army and weapons closer during the night. Also, the Mexicans fired a cannon but since it didn't explode, Travis yelled for one of his men to pick it up so they could fire it back. The man replied to Travis, "you will be picking that up yourself."

  14. Originally named Misión San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly seventy years. Construction began on the present site in 1724. In 1793, Spanish officials secularized San Antonio's five missions and distributed their lands to the remaining Indian residents.These men and women continued to farm the fields, once the mission's but now their own, and participated in the growing community of San Antonio.
