You sure do love to quote Texans don't you....

Well how about this little fact....

Sam Houston was opposed to secession, but loved TEXAS MORE!

That is why he wouldn't accept Caesar Lincoln's offer of troops, and that is why his son was an officer in the Confederate Army. He also reviewed the troops on occasion.

So smoke on that fact for a while......

....."Sam Houston was opposed to secession, but loved TEXAS MORE!" ..

that's a good point and there were plenty that felt that way.....Albert Sidney Johnston comes to mind...

Good luck to everybody!

Smoke on the fact that he predicted the loyal Union people would kick the bejesus out of the so-called CSA, which is exactly what they did.
