Battle of Gonzales

The people of Gonzales had a small brass cannon that Mexican authorities had given them in 1831 for protection against Native American attacks.

The Texans did not want to give the cannon to the Mexicans so they hid it under ground and a blacksmith brought it out Texas decorated it and it said come and take it and as the Mexicans came to get it the blacksmith fired the cannon at them.

They were happy after the battle of Goliad because they just won two battles in a row.
