On 24th February 1836 William Barret Travis, the commander of the Texican Rebels sent a desperate plea for his besieged soldiers at Alamo, an old Spanish fortress and mission. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in San Antonio with command of the Texas Regular Troops. 
He sought military reinforcement by dispatching several messages seeking assistance, i.e, "The people of Texas and all Americans in the world" was the most famous address to the people of Texas, and further signed "Victory or Death". Only 35 people went to assist and on 6th March the Mexicans stormed the Alamo where Travis and 190 other soldiers were killed.
Travis defense of the Alamo became symbolic and significant behind the rallying for the Texas revolution whereby April the Texas people and countrymen of Travis fought the Mexicans and gained their independence.

Difference between 13th 14th and 15th amendment? please help
Gekata [30.6K]
The 13th amendment abolished slavery, the 14th amendment gave citizenship to anybody born in the U.S., and the 15th amendment gave voting rights to everyone, regardless of race, gender, and ethnicity. How? Well, see below for an explanation!

The 13th Amendment, established completely in December 6, 1865, was an amendment that arguably abolished slavery and any form of involuntary servitude in the United States of America. This occurred under Abraham Lincoln’s administration, and was used as a gradual attempt at slavery vanquishment. The 14th amendment, established completely on July 9, 1868, was a newly ordered conduct allowing anybody citizenship who was born in the U.S.. Similar to the 13th amendment, this was an attempt at more freedom for people living in the U.S.. The 15th amendment, established completely on February 3, 1870, was an amendment in which everybody earned voting rights. This ratification was very crucial to the United States because many people had different opinions and biases on whether certain people should vote. Because the U.S. was very discriminatory at this time not only toward blacks, but toward women as well, this amendment sparked controversy throughout the South and led to gradual secession in states that would later form the Confederate States of America. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
