how do you prove that sam houston was the best president of texas?h?

Answer 1

I can't prove he was the best president of Texas, but of the four men that served in that office, he's the only one I've ever heard of and that was for the Alamo. "When Houston received word of the defeat at the Alamo, he was inspired to begin a month-long retreat to regroup and replenish the Texas army's strength. Remembering how badly the Texans had been defeated at the Alamo, on April 21, 1836, Houston's army won a quick battle against the Mexican forces at San Jacinto and gained independence for Texas. Soon after, Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas. He continued to serve as senator and governor after Texas became part of the United States in 1845."

Answer 2

It's easy to narrow down I suppose. Imean there was Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar and Anson Jones. Whether or not he was the best would be a matter of opinion I suppose. if you really want to find out then look at what he accomplished and weigh it against what the other two accomplished. Lamar did some good himself. he is known as the father of Texas Education and is laregely responsible for the building of U of Texas and A&M. Anson Jones was the president when the U.S. took on Texas as the 28th state, although Houston did a lot more to bring about statehood than Jones did. Don't get into a hero worship thing over Sam Houston. He was far, far from perfect.

Answer 3

Houston and a force of fewer than 800 Texans surprised and defeated 1,600 Mexicans under Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna at San Jacinto. This triumph secured Texan independence and was followed by Houston's election as president (1836-38; 1841-44) of the Republic of Texas. He was influential in gaining the admission of Texas to the United States in 1845. Houston was elected one of the new state's first two senators, serving as a Union Democrat from 1846 to 1859. His views on the preservation of the union were unpopular with the Texas legislature, however, and on the eve of the Civil War he was not reelected--although he was chosen governor once more in 1859. In this position he tried unsuccessfully to prevent the secession of his state in 1861, and upon his refusal to swear allegiance to the Confederacy, he was declared deposed from office in March.

States don't have Presidents. Sam Houston was a known pedophile and wife beater.
