Episode 132: The Treaties Of Velasco
May 14, 1836. On this day 190 years ago, the Texas Revolution ended – not with the firing of a weapon, but with the stroke of a pen.
We reveal how the Treaty of Velasco brokered peace between Texas and Mexico, why a secret, private treaty was also signed that day, and how Santa Anna played both governments’ self-interests to broker his own survival. Featuring historian and author Dr. Stephen Hardin.
