Which population group of Texans did not support slavery and didnt support the confederacy?

The population group of Texans that largely did not support slavery and the Confederacy were the German immigrants, particularly those in the Hill Country region. Many German Texans were opposed to slavery on moral and economic grounds and instead favored the Union during the Civil War. Their anti-slavery sentiment led to a significant number of them joining Union forces or resisting Confederate policies. This opposition often resulted in social and political tensions within Texas during that period.

What did Texans feel about Abraham Lincoln?

At first, Texans didn't really like him, but by the end of the civil war, us Texans loved good ole Honest Abe. THERE WERE NO TEXANS BACK THEN! CORRECTION: There most certainly were Texans back then!!!! Texas was the 7th of the 11 states to secede from the Union. Texans did not like Lincoln. He opposed slavery, while Texans (along with many other southern states) felt slavery was necessary to sustain their economy, which depended heavily on farming and ranching. When Lincoln won the election, he received ZERO votes from Texas. His name was not even on the ballot.
