Texas was a slave state that supported slavery during the 19th century. When it joined the United States in 1845, it maintained the institution of slavery, which played a significant role in its economy and social structure. The state's pro-slavery stance was a key factor leading to its secession from the Union in 1861 and its alignment with the Confederacy during the Civil War.

The delegates at the Texas secession convention favored secession from the Union primarily due to growing tensions over states' rights and the issue of slavery. They believed that the federal government was encroaching on their rights and interests, particularly in defending the institution of slavery, which was integral to Texas's economy and social structure. Additionally, many delegates felt a strong sense of Southern identity and solidarity, viewing secession as a means to preserve their way of life. The election of Abraham Lincoln, perceived as hostile to slavery, further galvanized their resolve to secede.
