Answer:
Santa Ana was caught on April 22, 1836 (the day after the Battle of San Jacinto). At the beginning of the battle he had disappeared on a horse and was found in the grass dressed as a common soldier. Some people say he was dressed as a woman however this is believed to be a myth. He was brought to Sam Houston, the leader of the Texas military, who had been injured in the ankle by a musket ball. Many Texans wished to see him hanged after what he did at the Alamo and Goliad (there were no Texan survivors at these). Houston decided he should be kept alive so he could sign the Treaties at Velasco, the treaties that would give Texas freedom from Mexico. These treaties also granted Santa Anna life. Because the Texans were so hungry for revenge, Santa Ana was released in the United States. Years later, while Texas was seeking annexation to the United States, Santa Anna became the dictator of Mexico again. He attempted to take Texas back (as Mexico renounced the Treaties at Velasco) however he was unsuccessful. He died in Mexico City, June 21, 1876.
