They used to(still do I think) have a tourist slogan "Texas it's a whole other country" alluding to the Republic of Texas and also the independent nature of most Texans.

@ Wolferz the Confederate States did not attempt to secede they did secede just the United States refused to recognize them and in end the CSA was unable to draw the war to a victory or any form of positive terms not that they didn't try to.

Have an ancestor on my grandmothers side of the family who was a Texan he fought from 62 to 65 and walked back home from Appomattox,Va to Texas around Austin. Not all at once of course and he stayed at peoples homes along the way but still.

My family ancestors all fought for the CSA either from Va or Tx and one was Union from Ohio I think.
