They explain the significance of these early Texas victories. Then they describe the San Antonio battle from the point of view of a Texan or a Mexican soldier. Objectives:Overview
You know how the story of the Texas Revolution ends, but do you know how it begins? In this experience, you will learn about the early battles of the Revolution.
Objectives:
The Texas settlers raised the above flag at the Battle of Gonzales in October 1835.
What do you think is the message of the flag? What do the words “come and take it” mean?
Discuss the students’ ideas. The Mexican government had given the town of Gonzales a cannon to protect itself against attacks from Native American tribes. As tensions between Mexico and Texas grew, the government feared that the Texans would use the cannon against them, so they requested that the Texans return the cannon.
