Gonzales

The Mexicans loaned the Texans in Gonzales a cannon to keep the Indians away, but then thought better of the idea and asked for their cannon back. The request was politely denied and 200 Mexican soldiers were sent to demand the cannon. Gonzales was fortified and all who lived west of the Guadalupe crossed the river into town. This flag was the Texan's answer as the first shots of the War for Independence were fired on October 2nd, 1835 Twelve Gauge.Com
