Question

How did the Texan defeats at the Alamo and Goliad affect Texans?

Answer 1

The defeats inspired the Texans to fight harder. There was no possibility of surrender or compromise after the defeats.

Explanation:

What happened after the defeats was more critical to the response of the Texans that the fact of the defeats.

After both the Alamo and Goliad the defeated Texans were massacred. Any survivors of the battles were killed by the Mexican Army. The battle cry of the Texans became Remember the Alamo.

For the Texans the war for independence from Mexico became a war for survival. The Texans would win, die or be forced to leave Texas.

The defeats at the Alamo and Goliad inspired the Texans to fight with great energy and high morale.
