I remember watching in The Patriots that the American colonies during the Revolutionary War could at least organize a decent army.
The Civil War that broke out more than 30 years after the Battle of the Alamo, from the perspective of "Gods and Generals", the Southern Army and the Northern Army also give people a very regular feeling.
Of course, maybe Texas was not yet part of the United States at the time, and the army was also a militia, right?
