Many times, Congress tried to convince him to return, but only after his good friend, Captain Gate, suffered such a gruesome defeat in Camden, Daniel returned to the army for the good of our country. In October of 1780, Daniel was promoted to Brigadier General. The most memorable moment I have of Daniel is the way he defeated the British army at Cow Pens.

During the Texas Revolution, there was a number of battles that took place over the years. Some of the Battles that took place was the Battle of the Alamo, Battle of Gonzales, Battle of San Jacinto, and Battle of San Patricio. The Battle of The Alamo started when the Mexican troops launched an assault of the Alamo mission in San Antonio.
