Sam Houston unpopular for stand on Civil War
Clayton MacQuernson chronicles Sam Houston's complex stance on secession and union, tracing his early heroism at San Jacinto to later clashes with Texas secessionists. The piece notes Houston's shifting loyalties, political battles, and enduring appeal as a unifying figure who urged Texans to “know only the Union” despite pressures from both North and South. It highlights his interracial marriages, Tennessee ties, governorship, and turbulent 1860s career as he faced a hostile legislature and public scrutiny.
