He edited newspapers at San Felipe, formed a company of rangers, conspired with William Barret Travis at Anahuac, rallied for Texas independence, then fought at the Battle of San Jacinto. He served the Republic of Texas as a Supreme Court Justice and legislator. He then turned his energies to advocating for Texas' annexation to the United States. Williamson was known for his legislative cunning and engaging oratory.
