Just over a month later. however. independence would be secured in the form of a victory over that same army by Sam Houston. a delegate at the very convention. and his courageous fighters at the battle of San Jacinto. Mr. Speaker. let me remind folks from Tennessee that Sam Houston served in this Congress from the State of Tennessee. I have at times kidded my friends from Tennessee saying. "The best of Tennessee immigrated to Texas in the 1830s." From that point on. Texas was firmly established in the community of nations. and for 10 years she stood and remained an independent nation. until President James K. Polk signed the treaty admitting Texas to the United States in 1845.
