[Men of the Alamo] would drop everything and marshal an army by week's end. That's the key difference between today's Americans, if you can find them, to the Americans of 1836.

Yeah, it seems impossible that Americans would fight back but locals will for sure.  Folks who want to keep a remnant of Los Angeles, or San Antonio, of Denver, of Pocatello, all will fight back, get recruits, and build guerrilla armies.  That's possible.  The border states, you'll have border cities starting to do volunteer patrol.  That is if anyone has anything left to save or protect.  Americans as a whole, like the patriots envisioned in the Mel Gibson movie, ah, no.  His comparison to patriots and to ante-bellum sovereigntists, yes, those men incorporated liberty in a literal sense into their soul.  They would drop everything and marshal an army by week's end.  That's the key difference between today's Americans, if you can find them, to the Americans of 1836.
