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."
