Figure 3.7 The Battle of San Jacinto.
Adapted from Stephen L. Hardin, Texian Iliad: A Military History of the Texas Revolution, University of Texas Press, 1994.
On May 14, in the Treaties of Velasco, Santa Anna acknowledged Texas independence, vowed again to remove all of his forces into Mexico, accepted Texas’s southern boundary as the Rio Grande, and promised to see an independent Texas receive full diplomatic recognition by the Mexican government. Although the Mexican congress refused to accept the general’s accords, by this time, Mexico lacked the means to attempt a reconquest of the lost land. Texas’s independence had been won.
