Antonio López de Santa Anna exerted his strong influence on Mexican politics and government in the first half of the 19th-century, a time often referred to as the "Age of Santa Anna." He served non-consecutive presidential terms over a 22-year period, interspersed with the continued pursuit of his military career. In the fall of 1841, Santa Anna returned to the presidency for a sixth time, a position he would hold until the turbulent election of 1842. José María Tornel (1795-1853) was prominent among the "santanista," a group of politicians who helped Santa Anna return to power frequently, despite defeats in the 1836 Texas Revolution and later in the Mexican-American War.
