The Battle of Gonzales, the first battle of the Texas Revolution, was between a small group of Texans and the Mexican forces. The Mexican government demanded the Texans to return the cannon that was given to them four years earlier to defend the colony of Gonzales. When the Texans didn't comply, the Mexican forces had orders to seize the cannon. The Texans created a flag with the popular slogan "come and take it" (in Spanish) along with a black star and a cannon that was sent to the Mexican government. With the lack of compliance and failed attempts, the Mexican military failed to forcefully seize the cannon.
