Final Mexican Assault on the Alamo
By 6:30 a.m. the battle for the Alamo was over.[117] Mexican soldiers inspected each corpse, bayoneting any body that moved.[115] Even with all of the Texians dead, Mexican soldiers continued to shoot, some killing each other in the confusion. Mexican generals were unable to stop the bloodlust and appealed to Santa Anna for help. Although the general showed himself, the violence continued and the buglers were finally ordered to sound a retreat.
