Texas supported the Confederate cause due to strong states rights support provided by the US Constitution (for every state to run their own government with only limited federal govt. interference). The federal government was only given power to coin money and to provide for the common defense against foreign threats. By losing the Civil War, Texas and all states in the Union lost the rights to be self-governed and thus, lost our real true Republic form of government by the people in America.
