Before the battle of Gonzales, Mexico is upset with Texas and tries to steal their cannon. They stated that if Texas doesn't give them the cannon, they will take it from Texas their selves.
COME AND TAKE IT
When the Texans received word that Mexico was coming to take their cannon, some were angry, and some were upset, but they were not going down without a fight.
All of the Texans were extremely angry at Mexico. They were ready to fight. If they want our cannon, why don't they come and take it!
