A Confederate sympathizer is someone who supports or shows empathy towards the Confederate States of America, which seceded from the Union during the American Civil War. These individuals may express admiration for the Confederate cause, its leaders, or its symbols. Confederate sympathizers often believe in states' rights, limited federal government intervention, or other principles associated with the Confederacy.

Sam Houston was removed as governor of Texas in 1861 due to his refusal to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy during the Civil War. As a strong Unionist, he opposed Texas's secession from the Union, which led to a clash with pro-Confederate sentiments in the state. His stance resulted in the Texas legislature deposing him from office, as they sought a leader who would support the Confederacy. Consequently, Houston was replaced by a Confederate sympathizer, leading to his political downfall in Texas.
