San Jacinto: A Lone Star Shines | The Surrender

The Texian Army was victorious at San Jacinto, but they failed to capture General Santa Anna, who fled the field in an attempt to reach the rest of his army. He was caught hiding near Sim’s Bayou the next day by a Texian scouting party. Santa Anna was brought to an injured General Houston and agreed to order his army out of Texas in exchange for his life, guaranteeing that the Texas Revolution ended at San Jacinto, the birthplace of an independent Texas.
