Background

"Remember the Alamo" was a battle cry for Texans during their battle for independence. Texans at the Alamo fought bravely, even though they were losing. And Mexican soldiers commanded by Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, who is simply known as Santa Anna, killed almost all Texans who were defending the Alamo. So, Texans wanted revenge during the Battle of San Jacinto, and shouting "Remember the Alamo" was a good way to raise their fighting spirit against the Mexican soldiers. "Remember Goliad" was also another battle cry used during the Battle of San Jacinto.
