Let's see. Sam Houston, the renowned general, senator, governor of two United States, and two time president of the Republic of Texas; hero of San Jacinto, humbler of the brutal tyrant Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Southern leader who stood up against slavery despite the hostility of his own party, the man who fought secession with everything he had in him but finally advised Abe Lincoln not to send a suicide military mission to redeem his governorhip? Or one of six uninspiring status quo politicians? Hmmm... tough. I'll have to think about it.
Guess I'll go with Houston.
