Emily Morgan, often referred to as "the Yellow Rose of Texas," was a pivotal figure during the Texas Revolution, particularly known for her role in the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836. She was believed to have been a slave of James Morgan and is credited with helping to secure a victory for Texian forces by allegedly distracting General Santa Anna, which allowed Texian troops to launch a surprise attack. Her story symbolizes the complex interplay of race, gender, and power in Texas history and has made her an enduring cultural icon in the state's narrative.
