Why was Sam Houston a traitor?

Sam Houston was considered a traitor by some in the context of the Texas Revolution due to his previous allegiance to the United States and his role as a military leader for Texas against Mexico. He had served as a governor of Tennessee and was a supporter of the Indian Removal Act, which some viewed as betraying his earlier commitments to Native American tribes. Additionally, after Texas won independence from Mexico, his willingness to negotiate with the U.S. government and advocate for Texas annexation was seen by some as a betrayal of the newly formed Republic of Texas. His complex legacy includes both his contributions to Texan independence and the conflicts that arose from his political decisions.
