Lousy example #2. Napoleon surrendered to the Brits fearing for his life if the Prussians or French monarchists got hold of him. He'd already abdicated his throne and was a mere prisoner, unable to negotiate anything. Sorta like Santa Anna.
Santa Anna surrendered to Houston fearing for his life if the citizenry of Texas (or any other revolting part of Mexico for that matter) got hold of him. Looks like it fits to me!
He'd already abdicated his throne and was a mere prisoner, unable to negotiate anything.
Ah, but his first was a forced abdication under duress since the allies had captured Paris, or so Lincoln would say. And, of course, he was restored for the hundred days on his return (and under a new constitution that he declared) and only abdicating again as he became surrounded by enemy forces (more duress, says the Lincoln!).
