Question

1. How does Santa Anna characterize the mission of the Mexican Army?

Answer 1

1. Santa Anna characterizes the mission of the Mexican Army as solely to liberate Texas from the rebels, thereby bringing to an end the independence declared by Texas from Mexico.

• However, the atrocities that Santa Anna visited against the Texans during the war show that the Mexican Army under his charge came to finish off the Texans. Many soldiers that fled the intensive fighting at Alamo were pursued and massacred.

2. The mission of the Mexican Army was characterized as that of liberation.  This does not compare to José Enrique de la Peña's language.

• In de la Peña's account of the war, he stated that the American commanders were killed in the fighting. This account contradicted the fact that the commanders were massacred when they fled from the battleground.

3. The lengthy accounts of de Peña blame Santa Anna for the atrocities at Alamo and other battlegrounds.

• This conclusion is based on the fact that de Peña reported that Commander Davy Crockett did not die fighting but was ordered to be killed by Santa Anna after surrendering in battle.

Thus, these accounts show that evil transpired during the Texas War of Independence with Mexico between October 1835 to April 1836.
