Sam Houston order the Texans to retreat in March 1836, he wanted more time to train his army

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam Houston ordered his army of Texans to retreat in 1836 because he wanted his army to be well-trained and become stronger to face the Mexicans led by Santa Anna.

The retreat was a planned one. Sam Houston planned the retreat when he heard of the defeat of a small army of Texans by Santa Anna. He ordered his men to retreat and trained them in warfare eventually leading to victory against the Mexicans.
