About 2,000 Texans were Unionists. They supported the Union cause and joined the Union army. Approximately 50 of the Texas Unionists were African Americans. Some Mexican Americans also fought on the Union side. Some Unionists did not want to fight for either side. Many hid from conscription officers. Some were captured and arrested. Others were forced to join the Confederate army. Still others were killed. Some Vigilantes hanged people they thought were Unionists. These were isolated incidents however.The primary Unionist in Texas was one of its founders, Governor Sam Houston. The Texas legislature voted for secession and Houston was eased out of office.
