Would be nice if they still did. More were killed in Golliad than Alamo and pretty sure they fought to the death at the Alamo as they knew death would come anyway. They were just making the decision of how they died.

I did a little more reading. Two of Shackelford’s sons were killed but he was spared by the Mexicans because of his medical skills. It absolutely should be more widely known and taught in American history.
