On this day in 1836, Texas told Mexico to take a flying leap. After some fierce battles, Texas finally became a Republic. Too bad we didn't stay that way...
Also on this day in 1793, Sam Houston was born. After retreating from several battles (which led to accusations that he was a sissy coward), he kicked ass at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 12, 1836 in just 18 minutes. The next day he captured Santa Anna who recognized Texas' independence.
