Question 8 • Survey of U.S. History - SS3313 IC

Which of the following best describes Sam Houston?

Answer
A
Houston thought Texas should stay independent.
B
Houston believed Texas should re-join Mexico.
C
Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas.
D
Houston brought American settlers to Texas in the 1820s.

Explanation

Sam Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas, making choice C the best description. He later supported Texas joining the United States, so choice A does not accurately describe his position. Stephen F. Austin, not Houston, led American settlers to Texas in the 1820s.
