The passage by William B. Travis and the events at the Alamo had the following effects on Texans:

  1. It encouraged Texans to plead with the United States for support.
  2. It inspired Texans to fight the Mexicans for their independence.

The other two options do not accurately reflect the overall sentiment and impact of the Alamo's events. The call to arms and the rallying message were more about inspiring determination and seeking support rather than discouragement or a focus on enslaved people's desire for freedom directly.
