Question

which of the following events immediately followed the battle of san jacinto?
sam houston surrendered to santa anna.
santa anna signed a treaty with texas.
mexico annexed texas and took it over.
texas was annexed by the united states.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Sam Houston surrendered to Santa Anna: Incorrect, as Sam Houston's forces won the Battle of San Jacinto, so surrendering is illogical.
• Santa Anna signed a treaty with Texas: After the Battle of San Jacinto (where Santa Anna was captured), he signed the Treaties of Velasco, recognizing Texas' independence. This is correct.
• Mexico annexed Texas and took it over: Incorrect, as the battle led to Texas' independence from Mexico, not annexation by Mexico.
• Texas was annexed by the United States: This happened in 1845, years after the Battle of San Jacinto (1836), so it's not immediate.

Answer:

B. Santa Anna signed a treaty with Texas.
