Texas was a Confederate state, and its size caused a problem for the Union. Texas provided the Confederacy in three ways. Economically by shipping products through Mexico for export cash and imported weaponry. The Union Naval blockade could not cover the complete Gulf Coast down to and including Vera Cruz. The second role was logistics, They provided the beef and broncos that fed and transported the Southern Forces. Role Three was both tactical and strategic. They provided outstanding cavalry forces, tested against the Commanche and the Mexicans. They presented a constant threat to the Union with the possibility of an attack to the West. Texas tried, Vicksburg split the South and Glorieta Pass ended any dream of a Western incursion.
