1836:  Some 3,000 Mexicans launch an assault on the Alamo, with its 182 Texan defenders. Thirteen days of glory at the Alamo
1868:  The U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate
