After the Texans revolted and captured San Antonio in the 1830s, . A.) Texas became part of independent Mexico
B.) Sam Houston was defeated at San Jacinto
C.)Santa Anna brought troops to take back the city
D.) Santa Anna was quickly defeated at the Alamo

I keep seeing that D is correct but wouldn’t be C. Because Texas lost at the Alamo?

C.)Santa Anna brought troops to take back the city

Explanation:

Santa Anna was not defeated Alamo, since the battle of the Alamo was a massacre for the Texan army, where all the combatants were killed. This sparked the Texans' desire for revenge who organized themselves to attack the Mexican army more strongly. This happened in San Jacinto, where Santa Anna, watching the events unfold, ordered the troops to return to the city, but the Texans carried out a strong attack, defeating the Mexican army, capturing Santa Anna and promoting the independence of Texas.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
