I don´t say "americans" because America is a whole continent. All México hated Santa Anna, but the people in the Alamo and the rebels leaders was from US and I don´t see any country named Texas, because it is a part of US...

@Raspu2 they were not americans, they were texan 1824 constitutionalists, who hated the dictator Santa Anna, and they included many mexican born gentlemen. get your history right.
