Which former slave was released at the Alamo?

Which former slave was released at the Alamo?

• A. Hendrick Arnold
• B. James Bowie
• C. Joe Travis
• D. Moses Austin

Answer: (C)

The event touches on how enslaved people were part of frontier life and, in some cases, freed in moments tied to the Alamo. Joe Travis is the figure linked in records as a former slave who was released in connection with the Alamo era. This reflects the way slavery intersected with Texas history at that time, showing that some enslaved people connected to defenders could gain freedom or safety in the chaotic events around the siege. The other names are notable for other roles: Hendrick Arnold was a Black scout and fighter, not described as a former slave released at the Alamo, while Moses Austin and James Bowie are known for their broader roles in Texas history rather than as enslaved individuals released during the siege.
