Answer: A. The Alamo was the most important location in Texas.

William B. Travis was left in the care of the Alamo, by Colonel James Bowie, and when the Mexican army began siege to the Alamo, Travis sent letters requesting arms and supplies, along with reinforcements to defend it, since Travis thought along with Bowie, that maintaining the Alamo was crucial, and in Travis' most famous and patriotic letter, addressing the people of Texas and all the Americans in the world, he expressed that he would remain defending the Alamo as long as he could, and die as a soldier, since he would never surrender to the army of Santa Anna, and defend his honor.
