Please help me, I want to get over with it and please give a good answer. Don't answer if you don't know.

Texas must be defended and liberty maintained. – Sam Houston, 1836


Sam Houston was commander-in-chief of the Texan army during the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Think about the reasons that Texans wanted to gain independence from Mexico. Considering why Texans and the Mexican government disagreed, why is that quote interesting and somewhat odd? Explain your answer.
