As was Santa Ana...who tried to find a peaceful way to end the seige but, he was outnumbered by his men, who weren’t having any of it...

I had the pleasure of hosting the last Master of Alamo lodge, San Antonio last year.
Man that guy enlightened us on a lot Texas and Masonic history.
So was Antonio López de Santa Anna.
