Sam Houston was against immediate secession by Texas. He felt that while Lincolnâ??s election was unfortunate, the need to remain calm should prevail. He warned his fellow Texans that the Union was determined to keep the Union intact and would fight long and hard to do so. He said the Confederacy might squeeze out a win but the losses would be immense. Secessionist minded Texans prevailed, Houston was removed from office and Texas seceded.
