Today Texans celebrate San Jacinto Day, the last battle of the Texas revolution. It’s wild that it’s the last battle of the revolution, because the Mexicans still had a ~ 5:1 advantage of troops in the area. However after the battle, Mexico’s president and lead general Santa Anna pleaded for his life after capture. He wrote to Urrea to get him and Filisola to withdraw. Filisola did. None of it makes sense really. The Mexicans just retreated. The Texans won a single major battle in the entire war. Yeehaw.
These guys fought at San Jacinto in 1836.
