What is the connection of a mulatto and General Santa Anna?

Senior Moments

This mulatto was known as The Yellow Rose of Texas. Santa Anna was hailed as the "Hero of Tampico" after helping defeat an invading Spanish army there in 1829, and he officially became president of Mexico for the first time in 1833. His centrist policies lead to rebellions in several regions, and he led his army against the rebellion in Texas in 1836. After taking the Alamo, he moved against the forces being massed by Sam Houston, pushing them back toward eastern Texas. There, Santa Anna's force was suddenly overwhelmed and destroyed by a smaller Texan force at San Jacinto, now on the eastern outskirts of Houston. At the start of the campaign Santa Anna had amazed his subordinates with his attention to detail and micro-management. That day, though, he could not be bothered, and left the army leaderless in the afternoon while he (supposedly) retired to his tent with the voluptuous mulatto slave Emily Morgan (the "Yellow Rose of Texas") plus his personal opium chest. The army settled into a siesta. And then the Texans struck. Santa Anna was captured the next day, in silk pajamas. http://hotx.com/alamo/santaanna.html Mar 29 04, 1:19 AM
