A Brief History of Houston, Texas
Houston's turbulent beginning was in
keeping with the period of Texas history and largely
reflected the conflicts that existed throughout the United
States. While Mexico was breaking away from Spain in the
early 1800s, restless people from throughout the older
states headed for the southwest in search of adventure and
opportunity. Within a few years, the Americans out
numbered the Mexican settlers in Texas, and by the early
1830s there was talk about independence. The Mexican
government sought by harsh measures to maintain control,
but in 1835 the Texans rebelled. If this revolt of Texas
against Mexico had merely marked the transition from one
political connection to another, it would have been an
event of no slight historical significance. But its
broader importance was found in the influence it was to
have on the making of two nations--the United States and
Mexico.
Texas declared its independence on March 2nd, 1836, but
was not immediately successful in its efforts to get the
United States to recognize it as a Republic. The Battle of
the Alamo on March 6th unified the people of the Republic,
and then on April 21st, Texas independence was established
when the Texan army under General Sam Houston defeated the
Mexican army under Santa Anna at the Battle of San
Jacinto. Of this Battle Charles Edward Lester wrote:
"On that well-fought field, Texan independence was won. A
brave but outraged people, in imitation of their fathers
of the century before, had entrusted their cause to the
adjudication of battle, and had gained the victory."
