The panic term for the panic that resulted in Texas once the word of Mexican victory at the Alamo spread was called “The Runaway Scrape”. When the news of the Mexican victory spread, terrified settlers and Texan soldiers ran away to the United States. This is known as “The Runaway Scrape” since people evacuated the place and moved to a secure location.
This battle of the Alamo between Mexican army and Texan army occurred in February 1836 and is considered to be a mayor event for the Texan Revolution.
