Best Answer

William B. Travis was a very famous man. He fought in the Alamo and lead the Texans to a defeat. But his spirit lived on.

Sam Houston was the man who was Texas's first and third president. He also was the leader of the army that fought in San Jacinto, the battle that won Texas's independence.

Santa Anna was famous for all the wrong reasons. He had refused to follow the Constitution of 1824, which made the early Texans rebel. He was the victor of Goliad and The Alamo but finally fell at the battle of San Jacinto.
