Texas Secession Victory at People’s Convention 1861
The Texas convention faced division over Lincoln’s offer of federal troops. Governor Houston, staunch Unionist, urged caution while a council debated admission of troops. Culberson warned invasions would devastate Texas, but the majority chose secession. An ordinance passed February 21 1861 and was ratified February 28 by about 40 000 to 14 000. Houston issued a March 4 proclamation.
