Only one American has served as the governor of two different U.S. States. Who is it? Hint #1 He was also the President. Hint #2 He was not the President of the United States.
The Answer of course is Sam Houston. He was the governor of Tennessee from 1827 to 1829 and the governor of Texas from 1859 to 1861. He was the President of the Independent state of Texas twice from 1836 to 1844.
At the start of the Civil War he refused to join with the confederacy but also refused to give support for the Union. He died in the middle of the war.
