Because he had supported Texas independence, Santa Anna branded Lorenzo de Zavala a traitor to Mexico. Yet some Texas leaders were also suspicious of him.

Explanation:

Zavala was born in Yucatan. He founded several newspapers, and because of his liberal ideas, he was imprisoned by the Spanish authorities. He was released in 1817. Three years later he was chosen as a representative in the Spanish Courts of 1820.

After the Mexican independence, he served in the Congress of the Union and founded the Yorkino Masonic Lodge. This in fact became a liberal political party, which sought far-reaching federalization. When Vicente Guerrero seized power in 1829, he appointed Zavala as finance minister. However, Guerrero's government was overthrown after just a few months by the conservative General Anastasio Bustamante, causing Zavala to flee to the United States.

In 1832 he returned to Mexico and became governor of the state of Mexico. A year later, President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna appointed him as consul in Paris. However, when Zavala heard that Santa Anna had granted himself dictatorial powers, he resigned. He first went to New York City and later to Texas, where he came into contact with separatist politicians such as Stephen Austin. Zavala was initially a federalist, but advocated Texas independence. He was one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Texas and was elected vice president of this new republic.

A few months after the Texan rebels in the battle of San Jacinto defeated Santa Anna's army, Zavala died of pneumonia. Zavala County and Zavala in Texas are named after him.
