In a 13-day battle, Mexican forces took down the Texans in San Antonio, prompting this famous battle cry.

Of course we "Remember the Alamo". The battle saw the volunteer Texan soldiers at the former Franciscan mission near San Antonio soundly defeated by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his men. The Texans (who included Davy Crockett in their number) were wildly outnumbered. This fueled the battle cry, "Remember the Alamo," which to the Texans represented their resistance.
