The Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, was a decisive battle in Texas history. By defeating the Mexican forces and capturing Santa Anna, the Texans won their independence from Mexico. Everyone in Texas, Mexicans, Anglo settlers, African Americans, and Native Americans, was affected by the 18-minute battle. Texas was now a republic.
