    Samuel "Sam" Houston (March 2, 1793 – July 26, 1863) was an American pol i tician and soldier, best known for his role in bringing Texas into th e Un ited States as a constituent state.
    Houston was born at Timber Ridge Plantation in Rockbridge County of Virg i nia, of Scots-Irish descent. Houston became a key figure in the histor y o f Texas and was elected as the first and third President of the Repub li c of Texas, U.S. Senator for Texas after it joined the United States , an d finally as a governor of the state. He refused to swear loyalty t o th e Confederacy when Texas seceded from the Union in 1861 with the out brea k of the American Civil War, and was removed from office. To avoid b loods hed, he refused an offer of a Union army to put down the Confederat e rebe llion. Instead, he retired to Huntsville, Texas, where he died bef ore th e end of the American Civil War.
    His earlier life included migration to Tennessee from Virginia, time spe n t with the Cherokee Nation (into which he later was adopted as a citiz e n and into which he married), military service in the War of 1812, an d su ccessful participation in Tennessee politics. In 1827, Houston was e lecte d Governor of Tennessee as a Jacksonian. In 1829, Houston resigne d as gov ernor and relocated to Arkansas Territory. In 1832, Houston wa s involve d in an altercation with a U.S. Congressman, followed by a high -profile t rial.
    Shortly afterwards, he relocated to Coahuila y Tejas, then a Mexican sta t e, and became a leader of the Texas Revolution.[6] Sam Houston support e d annexation by the United States.[7] When he assumed the governorshi p o f Texas in 1859, Houston became the only person to have become the go vern or of two different U.S. states through direct, popular election, a s wel l as the only state governor to have been a foreign head of state.
    Namesake of the city which, since the 1980s, has become the fourth large s t city in the U.S., Houston's reputation was sufficiently large that h e w as honored in numerous ways after his death, among them: a memorial m useu m, four U.S. warships named USS Houston (AK-1, CA-30, CL-81, and SSN -713) , a U.S. Army base, a national forest, a historical park, a univers ity, a nd a prominent roadside statue outside of Huntsville.
