A phrase could have been spoken by Crockett to alert Santa Anna to his request for mercy. A hand gesture / embrace would have confirmed he was a Mason.

My question would be why a good catholic boy like Santa Anna be part of the Masonic Lodge? Since 1738, Catholics were not allowed to be members of a Masonic lodge because the Catholic Church officially prohibited it. The Church considering the principles and rituals of Freemasonry to be incompatible with Catholic doctrine. The battle happened approximately 98 years later.

My opinion, for what it's worth is Davey Crockett never left the Alamo alive.

That's an excellent point, and to further it, Santa Anna's army was quite devoutly Catholic, and the prohibition from the Pope against being a Mason, was well known to Catholics, even in small rural villages in Mexico and other parts of the planet. Santa Anna would've been risking an overall mutiny, if it was ever rumored that he had joined Masonry, let alone actual was a Mason.

As far as alerting Santa Anna he was a mason other than by a visual hand signal, "spoken" or "embrace" would require quite close contact, and my point was why would that quite close contact be thought reasonable?

I agree with waarp8nt, that Crockett fell at The Alamo

Maybe.....Thanks You've sent me down a rabbit hole to google today, Sorry If any of my posts sounded frustrated, that sethwy guy said some pretty nasty stuff and edited it before I could reply, might have to have a word with a mod or something.
No I did not. The only thing I said was

" research, if your interested"

That's all I said. His claim against me is totally faults.

I edited it because there's no point in giving advice to such
 
I don't believe he did die at el Alamo.

Our heros, history , an our zeros are usually what we want them to be.

As good a film as John waynes story of the Alamo is, it is fictional.
Total fantasy.
made to be a GOOD STORY.
Made to cause emotions, and intensional or not, faults memorys.

In this later film all our history, heros an zeros are portrayed really good, totally fiction. The way everyone likes it it be.

it's what everyone wants.

The death scene of David Crockett is what we want it to be, he was fearless an fighting right up to the last, even scaring his bayonet attackers into jumping back.

the story is good, the heros are great, an the bad guys are really rotten .

The way gen Santa anny is made to look,
Like a depraved wacko , is really good.

It's what we all want it to have been
