The Indian Policy of the Republic of Texas
In spite of the beneficial results of Houston's peace policy,
which must have been quite evident, his opponents never lost an
opportunity to score him for his soft-hearted attitude toward the
Indians.52 However, the criticism was not of a quality to dis-
prove the practical benefits accruing from the peace policy. In
spite of all that was said to disparage the conciliatory attitude of
the government, Houston's policy resulted: (1) in the successful
negotiation of treaties with all the Indian tribes; (2) in the
establishment of trading houses; (3) in the reduction of Indian
disturbances on the frontier, and the consequent need for less
protection; and (4) in the great reduction of the cost of Indian
relations.
