To help the Confederacy prepare for the Civil War the Texas state militia forces under Texas Ranger Benjamin McCulloch seized the Alamo and forced the US Army garrison to surrender. All told the United States lost a quarter of its military to Texas and the Confederacy before the first battle had been fought.
During the war Texas contributed a great deal to the Confederate war effort in both supplies and manpower. Texas is the only state which contributed more cavalry than infantry regiments during the war. The last battle of the war was fought on Texas soil and it was the only southern state that was never successfuly invaded by Union forces.
In the Army of Northern Virginia it was Hood's Texas Brigade which gained the reputation of being the favorite shock troops of General Lee.
Throughout the Civil War the Texas Confederates earned a matchless reputation from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Glorietta Pass, New Mexico. On their own soil the Texans had an unbroken record of victory after victory.
"None have brought greater honor to their state as have my Texans..."
--Gen. Robert E. Lee.
