Texas independence push and Cos brave actions amid siege
A captain led the assault with notable bravery and earned a quick promotion to colonel. Cos raised the black flag as the town fell, but Texan resolve strengthened. Texas meetings push for independence at the Convention, with leaders united on freedom or soldier’s graves. Mexican prisoners treated leniently despite Cos’s strategies.
