The Battle of Gonzales and the Texas Declaration
In autumn 1835 a cannon buried near Gonzales guarded by Texans sparked a short skirmish with Mexican troops. After Mexican leaders rallied, Santa Anna led 6000 soldiers toward San Antonio where the Alamo siege ended with Texans dying and civilians spared. Delegates later proclaimed Texas independence at Washington on the Brazos with 58 signers.
