Sam Houston employed a strategy of surprise and speed, leading a well-timed attack against Santa Anna's forces at the Battle of San Jacinto. He took advantage of the element of surprise by launching a sudden offensive after weeks of retreating, catching the Mexican army off guard. Houston's forces were also significantly outnumbered, but he focused on decisive maneuvers and effective use of terrain to maximize the impact of his troops. This bold and strategic approach ultimately led to a swift victory, securing Texas independence.
Sam Houston and his army defeated Santa Anna at The Battle of San Jacinto because Santa Anna told his army that they could take a siesta because Santa Anna had not seen very much activity at Sam Houston's base.

The Battle of the AlamoThere was no "war" of the Alamo. There was a battle at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas in March of 1836. Sam Houston did not participate in this battle, although he was commander of the revolutionary forces at the time. While Col. William B. Travis and 186 other Texas revolutionaries stalled Santa Anna at the Alamo, Sam Houston was moving eastward across Texas, working to recruit and train an army to successfully defeat Santa Anna's forces. A few weeks after the fall of the Texan forces at the Alamo, Sam Houston's army met with Santa Anna's army and quickly defeated the Mexicans at a place called San Jacinto, just east of where present day Houston, Texas is now located.

Houston burned the town of Gonzales, Texas, before Santa Anna's forces arrived. This act was part of the Texian strategy to deny resources and supplies to the Mexican army. The burning of Gonzales was a crucial moment leading up to the Texas Revolution, as it demonstrated the Texians' resolve to resist Santa Anna's troops.
