Siege of Bexar (San Antonio)

This siege lasted from October 12, 1835 to December 11, 1835, which means all previous battles fought in the so called Texas War of Independence, were linked to this siege. At stake was who controlled San Antonio which was the most important white settlement in Texas. Of course, the rebel white Texans had taken San Antonio with their victory over Anishinabe Soldiers at Battle of Concepcion. After whites won Battle of Concepcion, they attempted to negotiate a peace treaty with Anishinabe ogimak but they refused. Anishinabe ogimak were going to first have their brave soldiers retaliate. After the Battle of Concepcion, new white reinforcements arrived to San Antonio, bringing their number to over 600 soldiers. Anishinabe reinforcements were also raised which brought their number to over 1,200 soldiers. Anishinabe Soldiers were going to lay a severe beating on the rebel white Texans. The Siege of Bexar (San Antonio) would not end until Anishinabe Soldiers had carried out what their commanders instructed. The whites did eventually keep San Antonio but only after several hundred of them had been killed.
