    My ancestors were mostly all in Texas during that war. The union was mostly stopped at the border, so not much happened here. Texas was the last state to enter the Confederacy and the last to allow the union to occupy it. General Lee actually spent a lot of his career in Texas and loved Texas and Texans. He relied on the 1st and 4th Texas divisions heavily in the Army of Northern Virginia. One of his most famous quotes is “the enemy never sees the backs of my Texans”

    It was during reconstruction that it all went downhill.
