It was a big loss to Texas, but Texans saw it as a symbol of great endurance to oppression and rising heroic actions.

Explanation:

The Battle of the Alamo was a 13-day siege in which Mexican forces led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna overwhelmed and defeated the group of Texans who volunteered to defend the Alamo.

Although it was a victory to Mexico, the Battle of the Alamo became a symbol that represented Texas's struggle for independence, and the brave and heroic actions of many Texans.

This sense of heroic resistance became helpful when Texas won its independence later at the Battle of San Jacinto.
