During which years did Sam Houston serve his second term as President of the Republic of Texas?

• A. 1837-1840
• B. 1841-1844
• C. 1845-1848
• D. 1831-1834

Answer: (B)

Sam Houston’s leadership of the Republic of Texas happened in two nonconsecutive terms, so his second presidency comes later in the timeline. After his first term, another president led from 1838 to 1841, and Houston then served again from 1841 to 1844. This second term fits exactly with the years listed as the correct period. The other options don’t match the sequence: 1837-1840 would conflict with his first term, 1845-1848 is after Texas joined the United States, and 1831-1834 is before Texas declared independence.
