Question

The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas is famous for the role it played in the Texas revolution. What was the Alamo used for before the revolution?

Answer 1

As I posted elsewhere:

The Alamo in San Antonio was built as a mission to education Native Americans about Christianity by Spanish missionaries.

After a period of disuse, it became an Army barracks for Spanish sodiers posted to the area.

Eventually it became a true fort and Texan soldiers fought to defend it against the Mexican Army before being overrun.
