During the seige of the Alamo, Houston was in the process of raising and training an army to deal with Santa Anna's well trained Mexican forces. He could not penetrate the Mexican force with only a few hundred men, which numbered nearly 5500 men, so he was forced to wait. After the Alamo fell, Santa Anna pursued Houston, who always stayed a step ahead of his pursuer. Santa Anna had lost several hundred men at the Alamo, and was determined to end the war once and for all. Frustrated at not being able to catch up with the sly Houston, Santa Anna split his force into three columns, hoping to trap Houston. Santa Anna led the biggest force, nearly 1500 men. His forces were several miles apart, and Houston received word from Captain Deaf Smith that Santa Anna's force was only a few miles distant, camped at San Jacinto. Houston gathered his 989 men and attacked with great fury while the Mexican army was at it's ease, eating and relaxing, confident no attack was coming. The surprise attack routed the Mexicans, and most were killed or wounded. Around 200 were captured, including Santa Anna the next day. In exchange for his life, Santa Anna deeded away Mexican rights to Texas. After nine years as a free republic, Texas joined the United States.
