Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I mawhiti a General Santa Anna, te perehitini o Mexico, me General Martín Perfecto de Cos i te pakanga. I hopukina a Santa Anna i te ra i muri mai i te 22 o Paenga-whawha me Cos i te 24 o Paenga-whawha. Whai muri i te toru wiki i puritia ai ia hei herehere pakanga, ka hainatia e Santa Anna te kirimana rangimarie e kii ana kia wehe atu te ope taua o Mexico i te rohe, e whakatuwhera ana i te huarahi mo te Republic of Texas kia noho hei whenua motuhake. Ko enei kirimana kaore i te mohio ki a Texas hei iwi rangatira engari i kii ko Santa Anna te akiaki mo taua whakaaetanga i Mexico City. I noho a Sam Houston hei tangata rongonui ā-motu, ā, ko ngā karanga a te hunga o Texan i ngā kaupapa o te pakanga, "Kia mahara ki te
Alamo" me "Kia mahara ki a Goliad" i whakauruhia ki roto i te hitori o Texas me te pakiwaitara.
