I can't believe you are a NATIVE Texan.
Better yet, are you NUTS?
You are posting garbage about your OWN state...or is it your state. Maybe you are a Yankee transplant. It certainly seems to be the case.
A little education for you: America is a region. When the South seceded, we were still Americans, just not citizens of the US......
The Southern traitors were no more American than a Canadian or Mexican.
They gave up their country in a failed bid to continue slavery.
And yes, the Texas government at the time wanted U.S. soldiers to protect their borders at the same time trying to kill them by supporting the firing on Fort Sumter. Nice little piece of propaganda there.
