2. It encouraged Texans to plead with the United States for support.
3. It reminded Texans that enslaved people would wad
To answer this question, we need to analyze the options and understand the historical context of the Alamo.
1. It discouraged Texans who realized the battle had been lost.
To determine if this option is correct, we need to know what happened at the Alamo. The Battle of the Alamo was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution in 1836, where a small group of Texan defenders fought against a much larger Mexican army. Ultimately, the Texan defenders were overwhelmed and defeated. If the message and events at the Alamo made Texans realize that the battle had been lost, it would indeed discourage them. This option is likely correct.
2. It encouraged Texans to plead with the United States for support.
This option suggests that the events at the Alamo motivated Texans to seek support from the United States. To determine if this is accurate, we need to consider the historical context. At the time of the Battle of the Alamo, Texas was a territory of Mexico. However, many Texan settlers, including some at the Alamo, desired independence from Mexico and sought assistance from the United States. While the Battle of the Alamo itself did not directly lead to Texans pleading for support, it was one of several events that fueled the Texan desire for independence and potentially led them to seek aid from the United States. This option is likely correct.
3. It reminded Texans that enslaved people would wad.
This option seems incomplete or have a typographical error. The word "wad" does not make sense in this context. It is possible that this option is incomplete and was intended to convey that the events at the Alamo reminded Texans about the issue of slavery. However, it is important to note that the issue of slavery was not directly tied to the events or message of the Alamo. It was primarily a conflict between Texan settlers and the Mexican government. Therefore, this option is likely incorrect.
Based on the analysis, the correct options are:
1. It discouraged Texans who realized the battle had been lost.
2. It encouraged Texans to plead with the United States for support.
