Why did Santa Anna's capture and his signing of the Treaty of Velasco in 1836, recognizing the independence of Texas, fail to resolve all of the contested political issues between Mexico and the leaders of the independent republic of Texas?
A) The political leaders of Texas, President Sam Houston and Secretary of State Stephen F. Austin, and most of their followers strongly preferred annexation by the United States over long-term independence.
B) The Mexican government, embittered by the humiliation of the climactic Battle of San Jacinto and the Treaty of Velasco, decided not to withdraw fully from Texas and resumed hostilities in the fall of 1836.
C) The United States was an eager partner for annexation, but the political leaders of the Texan republic were reluctant partners because of the large Tejano population in Texas, which opposed annexation.
D) The refusal of the Mexican Congress to recognize the Treaty of Velasco placed the political independence of Texas into immediate jeopardy.
