Presidential Leadership Lessons is a podcast hosted by Tom Fox. This continues a four-part series on leadership lessons not from US Presidents but from Presidents from the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1845. In this series, I am joined by Don Frazier, head of the Texas Center at Schreiner University in Kerrville, TX, to discuss the four Presidents who led Texas when it was a country. In this fifth and final episode, we discuss the short term of Anson Jones.

Being transported to the 1840s Texas with Presidential Leadership Lessons exploring the fascinating history of the state of Texas during this time, we discuss the successes and challenges of President Anson Jones and his progressive views of Republicanism. We delve into his support of the Sam Houston faction and the implications of the Texas annexation officially becoming official in January 1846. Don Frazier explains the controversies related to the doctor certifications; the differences between the traditional immigrants and the Germans coming into places like New Braunfels and Fredericksburg. We then review the relationship between Mexico and Texas in the larger context of Republicanism.
