In the early part of the US Civil War, the attorney general for the Confederacy was Thomas Bragg. Prior to the secession, Bragg was never optimistic nor showed much enthusiasm for the rebellion. After the Confederate losses at forts Henry and Donalson, he regretted the rebellion.
What was surprising about the Fall 1863 Confederate Congress elections was that two thirds of the new representatives had been against secession in 1861. There was, however, no direct effect of this seen in the manner in which the Southern military operated. There was no call for any type of "surrender". It was an indication that the South had never been united in secession. With that said, it cannot be forgotten that Robert E. Lee was not in favor of secession, yet he fought as boldly as any general could.
Clearly the Confederate General Robert E. Lee earned his fame and was respected by almost everyone. Respected, however, as much as it could be since he was a leader of the Southern rebellion. Lee was once a West Point superintendent.As an aside, Lee was not in favor of secession. As a loyal son of Virginia he became an adversary of the North reluctantly.
Not in favor
As respective presidents of the United States and the Confederate States of America, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were diametrically opposed on the issues of states' rights in respect to secession. What this fundamentally meant was that Lincoln was unalterably opposed to, while Davis was fully in favor of, this right.

Yes, yes he can, and the states' Attorneys General often do change venues in such cases just to stack the deck in their favor. Your attorney can motion to block the change, or motion to change the venue back though.
When Texans voted on secession in 1861, the result was overwhelmingly in favor of leaving the Union. Approximately 98% of voters supported the measure, leading Texas to officially secede from the United States on February 1, 1861. This decision was part of a broader movement among Southern states to break away and form the Confederate States of America.
No, they recommended changes in the constitution
Well i know Abraham was all about getting votes to be president. But after a few war he filed the emancipaton proclamation freeing most slaves.
Sam Houston, who was not in favor of secession, resigned when the Confederates took over Austin.
Ha-ha I don't know.. listen to the teacher next time!
In the 1850s, Mississippi politicians who were most in favor of secession included Governor John J. Pettus and prominent figures like Jefferson Davis, who would later become the President of the Confederacy. Pettus advocated for the protection of slavery and the rights of Southern states, arguing for secession as a means to preserve these interests. Additionally, many members of the Mississippi legislature and local leaders expressed strong support for secession, reflecting the growing sentiment in the South leading up to the Civil War.
