Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, also known simply as Santa Anna (21 February 1794 – 21 June 1876) was a Mexican patriot and dictator who greatly influenced early Mexican and Spanish politics and government, first fighting against independence from Spain, and then becoming its chief general, president and dictator at various times over a turbulent forty-year career.
Like other states discontented with the central Mexican authority, the Texas department of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas went into rebellion in late 1835 and declared itself independent on 2 March 1836 (see Texas Revolution and Republic of Texas); Santa Anna marched north to bring the rebellious province back under his control. His forces killed all 187-250 Texan defenders at the Battle of the Alamo (February 23 - March 6, 1836) and executed 342 Texan prisoners at the Goliad Massacre (March 27, 1836). Santa Anna was soon defeated by Sam Houston's soldiers at the Battle of San Jacinto (April 21, 1836) with the Texan army shouting "Remember Goliad, Remember the Alamo!" A small band of Texas forces captured Santa Anna the day after the battle on 22 April. Acting Texas president David G. Burnet and Santa Anna signed the Treaties of Velasco "...in his official character as chief of the Mexican nation, he acknowledged the full, entire, and perfect Independence of the Republic of Texas." In exchange, Burnet and the Texas government guaranteed Santa Anna's life and transport to Veracruz. Before Santa Anna could leave Texas, 200 angry volunteer soldiers from the United States threatened to remove him from his boat and kill him as it was leaving the port of Velasco. Back in Mexico City, a new government declared that Santa Anna was no longer president and the treaty was thus null, and void.

I did not know this. It doesn't make me wonder that they didn't win with such a grand ego monger running the show. Some types of machismo should be reigned in. It's uncomfortable and you're never quite sure of which leg you stand on. At least the last Canadian combatants (Montcalm and Wolfe) had the decency to die with dignity and not cry retribution at the end of the last true Canadian conflict. (we're funny that way)
