Please help me, I want to get over with it and please give a good answer. Don't answer if you don't know. IT'S DUE TODAY Texas must be defended and liberty maintained. – Sam Houston, 1836

Sam Houston was commander-in-chief of the Texan army during the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Think about the reasons that Texans wanted to gain independence from Mexico. Considering why Texans and the Mexican government disagreed, why is that quote interesting and somewhat odd? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

The quote is interesting and somewhat odd is that Sam Houston was the leader of the Texan Army and helped to win independence from Mexico with victories like that at Battle of San Jacinto. Houston is a figure of Texan Independence but also of the annexation of Texas to the United States. Houston served as president of Texas twice. He was also elected to the Senate to represent Texas in 1846.  The whole quote is as follows: "There would be no difficulty in securing the rights of the people and the liberties of Texas if men would march to their duty and not fly like recreants from danger. Texas must be defended and liberty maintained." He was inciting others to join the cause for Texan independence.

Hope this helped!
