Just a little point of correction... Sam Houston was NEVER an OUTCAST.. he was very disappointed that Texans decided to leave the Union and join the Confederacy since WE TEXANS had fought so hard and died ... some slaughtered ... for our Independence from Spanish Rule... Sam Houston was always a respected man by the People of Texas and we have many monuments, buildings and streets and children and schools, etc., to show our respect and love for this man!
