Sam Houston
Sam Houston was elected as the first president of the Republic of Texas in 1836 and later served as governor of Texas. He was elected governor in 1859 and took office on December 21 of that year. He served until 1861 when he was removed from office for refusing to pledge allegiance to the Confederacy. Houston's political career was marked by his significant role in Texas history during its fight for independence and statehood.
Prior to 1824 most state offices were chosen by voters. They in turn selected a governor and Congressmen. By 1824 people were refusing to be managed under this scenario, and political parties were formed.

He opposed Texas's decision to secede from the Union and join the Confederate States of America in February 1861. He was evicted from office a month later for refusing to sign a loyalty oath to the Confederacy.
In the early Spring of 1861, there was a good degree of enthusiasm for many Marylanders to join the Confederacy. This created a crisis and Governor Thomas Hicks prevented a secessionist vote in the state by refusing to allow the legislature to meet for a vote on the issue. President Lincoln moved Federal troops into Maryland to prevent a vigilante movement to take place. When the Maryland legislature met in May of 1861, many members of the legislature urged neutrality rather than secession.
