Santa Anna's captors force him to sign…
May 1836 CE
Santa Anna's captors force him to sign the Treaties of Velasco on May 14.
The treaty recognizes Texas's independence and guarantees Santa Anna's life, but it will never be ratified by the Mexican government.
The initial plan is to send him back to Mexico to help smooth relations between the two states.
His departure will be delayed by a mob that wants him dead.
