In 1836, Texas fought and won its independence from Mexico.  The Texas sought independence based on violation of settlers' rights under Mexico Constitution by Mexico.  In March of 1836, the Mexicans massacred the Texans (including Davey Crockett who came from Tennessee to help), but in April the Texas defeated the Mexican army and its General Santa Anna.  Sam Houston was elected the first President of the Republic of Texas(it did not yet join the United States).  General Santa Anna was released from captivity in November of 1836, and traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with federal officials.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/alamo/timeline/timeline2.html</ref>
