General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1886) was dictator of Mexico and the commander of the Mexican army during the Texas Revolution (1836). He had the Texans in the Alamo and at Goliad killed in the battle to keep Texas as a part of Mexico. After he was captured at the Battle of San Jacinto, he was shunned for a time by the Mexican government, which did later reinstate him for internal and external conflicts, including the US-Mexican War of 1846.
