The Battle of San Jacinto is commemorated annually on April 21 in Texas, marking a pivotal event that concluded the Texas Revolution. Under General Samuel Houston's command, the Texan Army, consisting of around 900 soldiers, defeated the Mexican army led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. This decisive battle took place along the San Jacinto River, fueled by outrage over the destruction of the Alamo and the execution of Texan prisoners at Goliad. Following the battle, Santa Anna was captured and compelled to sign a peace treaty that mandated the withdrawal of Mexican troops, thereby granting Texas independence. The rallying cries "Remember the Alamo" and "Remember Goliad" became emblematic of this struggle. The day is observed with various civic and historical events to honor the significance of the battle in Texas history.
