Best Answer

The Texans felt like most if not all Confederate states about the draft. They believed it went against the right of states which was one of the main reasons for the southern states split from the Union in the first place! The new Confederate Constitution stated that a central government had no right to take away the rights of individual states and the people believed that by forcing them to go to war in a "draft" was unconstitutional!
