San Antonio was the seat of power for the Tejas area. Even though, Texas was not an individual state (it was part of the larger state of Coahuila y Tejas) it still had and did many of the things that other states did. THE size and population of Texas demanded that it have a more local regional government than the one located hundreds of miles away in Coahuila. The city became even more sought after during the Revolution. Santa Anna thought that taking San Antonio would help to squash the rebellion. However the Battle of the Alamo became an inspiration for the Texians and Tejanos fighting for freedom.
