He had major problem with dept Texas was in about 12 million dollars in dept

Problems with Indians

He also had problems with annexation to the united states the people didn't want annexation, but the government did

Andrew Jackson was a personal friend, although they were often at odds on public policy.

Sam Houston's plan to defeat the Mexican Army was first to let the Mexican Army greatly reduce its own numbers through its own incompetence. Sam Houston did not reinforce the Alamo. He did not have the army to defeat Santa Ana at that point. He did not send reinforcements to Goliad. He did not have the troops to spare. In capturing those two outposts, the Texans lost several hundred solders. The Mexicans lost thousands. The lack of sanitation caused the loss of several thousand more. When Santa Anna finally caught up with Houston, he had a sick army. Houston pretended to prepare defensive works while Santa Anna let his troops siesta. Houston attacked a sleeping army. Santa Anna was captured in his pajamas.

he eliminated dozens of government positions and cut the size of the army; he tried to sell navy ships

The marriage was dissolved because Tiana (sp) Rogers Houston refused to go with her husband Sam to Texas.

He was both the first and third Presidents of the Republic of Texas as well as the 8th Governor of Tennessee, a hero of the Texas Revolution a US Senator from Texas for 13 years and the 7th Governor of the State of Texas.

No one did he died of pneumonia!!!!! well that is what i found out at yahoo.com =)

Yes, he served as a Private and rose to the rank of Lieutenant during the War of 1812. He was wounded three times at the Battle of Horshoe Bend. In 1818 while serving as a Tennessee criminal prosecutor he had a command in the State Militia.

That military service was certainly not enough to qualify him as the Commander of the Texas Army in the revolution, but he was made a Major General and managed to defeat and capture Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.

He did not have the strength in his army to defeat the Mexicans.

Yes, he had two horses shot out from under him and was wounded in the leg.

Yes, in fact he was a slave owner and at the same time he wanted Texas to remain in the Union. Perhaps his main reason for that was because he was certain that the Yankees would win any conflict and Texas and the South would suffer immensely as a result.
