Maybe you don't realize, but we lost the Alamo.
The brave soldiers there fought to the very end, and their sacrifice energized a nation to hit back hard.
Was the turning point to the end of the war in American victory.

Think of traveling through a hurricane. Massive unrest on the way in, then you hit the eye... all it calm, then the eye ends and you're back in the wall -- the roughest part of the hurricane. But you're on the way out, with the storm left in your wake.
