MEXICO THEN CLOSED U.S. IMMIGRATION,

SO AMERICANS COULD NO LONGER IMMIGRATE TO MEXICO.

I THEN JOURNEYED TO MEXICO CITY WITH THE COLONISTS' PETITION

THAT ASKED MEXICO TO REOPEN U.S. IMMIGRATION.

I WAS IMPRISONED AFTER THE DICTATOR OF SANTA ANNA HEARD MY IDEA.

THE PEOPLE IN THE COLONY WERE UPSET,

SO MANY PEOPLE STARTED TO REBEL.

SANTA ANNA'S TROOPS WERE GOING TO DESTROY THE REBELS.

ONE REBEL GROUP WAS THE PEOPLE OF ALAMO.

SANTA ANNA'S TROOPS KILLED THE PEOPLE OF ALAMO.

THIS CAUSED AN OUTRAGE.
