"Don’t forget the Texan Unionists."

In 1860 Texas did not have the huge population it does today -- my numbers show Texas provided about 87,000 Confederate troops and only 2,000 Union troops.

But there were regions of strong Unionism including some of my ancestors in the Texas Hill Country.

Sam Houston was pro-Union iirc.
