Some disliked hiim for his suppport of Native American Indian rights.

Some disliked him because he supported the institution of slavery.

He was despised for not supporting secession and for refusing to take an oath in support of the Confederate States of America.

Because he wanted to go to the beach with the Mexicans and party!

Among other things, he was the commander in chief of the army. He led the Texan troops to victory at San Jacinto. He was the first president of the Republic of Texas. As president, he worked for peace with the Indians.

Sam Houston was a very successful person because he had done so much for Texas. for example, he fought for independence for Texas from Mexico. he also did much more but he was awarded because of all his work in the battle of Jacinto and to fight for inclusion in the united states and he was remembered from a statue in statuary hall in DC. Houston, TX was also named after him. he was practically a founding father.

hope that wasn't too vague, i did some research, but need more so I'm in a hurry.

He considered himself to be a man of honor and could not tolerate dishonesty. He loved Texas and the United States.

Because the Texas Army was growing in both quantity and quality with each day while the Mexican Army was weakened by their long supply line, shortages of war materials, disease and desertion. To engage the Mexican Army without a clear and decisive victory could destroy the dream of Texas Independence.

Sam Houston opposed the land policy because he was convinced it would create an opportunity for fraudulent land certificates and land claims

Yes, because Texas owed a lot of money to the U.S. for the civil war between Texas and Mexico, and he thought, "How can you owe yourself money?", so he eventually persuaded the rest of Texas to join the U.S.
