Imagine you are a settler living in Gonzales in October of 1835. You witness Mexican soldiers approaching your town demanding the return of a cannon previously given to you to protect yourself against the Indians. You have two options: 1) fight to keep the cannon knowing that if you decide to join the others and fight, there might be casualties (dead settlers).
