Quality of Language Lacking

I believe that the writing style of this page suffers from quality issues. Consider: "The new Texas government and army met their doom...": met their doom?

Consider the following:

"What is significant is a Spanish royalist lieutenant named Antonio López de Santa Anna fought in this battle and followed his superiors' orders to take no prisoners. Another interesting note is two founding fathers of the Republic of Texas and future signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836, José Antonio Navarro and José Francisco Ruiz, took part in the Gutiérrez–Magee Expedition"

"What is significant" and "Another interesting note"? ... not a good way to introduce a new statement or idea.
