Solution
The correct option is A Sam Houston
The first President of the Independent Republic of Texas was
Sam Houston. In 1836, five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas, before
President Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837. His victory at the
Battle of San Jacinto secured the independence of Texas from Mexico in one of
the shortest decisive battles in modern history. He was also the only governor
within a future Confederate state to oppose secession and to refuse an oath of
allegiance to the Confederacy, a decision that led to his removal from office
by the Texas secession convention.
