Sam Houston: Inaugural Address as President of the Republic of Texas

( 1836 ) Commentary by Michael J. O'Neal, Ph.D.
  • “We are only in the outset of the campaign of liberty. Futurity has locked up the destiny which awaits our people.” - Inaugural Address as President of the Republic of Texas
  • “A subject of no small importance is the situation of an extensive frontier, bordered by Indians, and open to their depredations. Treaties of peace and amity, and the maintenance of good faith with the Indians, present themselves to my mind as the most rational grounds on which to obtain their friendship.” - Inaugural Address as President of the Republic of Texas
