Houston has never been the capital of Texas. WRONG!!! Before Texas integrated itself in to the union, and relinquished its domain over the chunks of Oklahoma Kansas Wyoming Colorado and about half of New Mexico that made up what was the Republic of Texas, five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas (Washington-on-the-Brazos, Harrisburg, Galveston, Velasco and Columbia) before president Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837. In 1839, the capital was moved to the new town of Austin by the next president Mirabeau B. Lamar. So, as far as I know, only once...
yes Houston, Texas
Sam Houston opposed Texas secession from the Union and was not a supporter of Texas being a Confederate state during the lead-up to the American Civil War. In February 1861, he publicly declared his opposition to secession, emphasizing his belief in preserving the Union. This stance ultimately led to his removal as governor of Texas in March 1861, as he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Houston's commitment to the Union was a significant aspect of his political legacy.

No. Uncle Sam came from the American Revolution and some historians think he was a real person. It is thought he delivered food to Valley Forge. Well, over 100 years later Sam Houston was born. They are not connected. Uncle Sam showed up again in WW1 posters to convince men to enlist.
