Texas was a slave state, and Texan slave owners wanted to keep it that way despite the efforts of Sam Houston to keep Texas in the Union. For Texans who did not own slaves, it was simply the patriotic thing to do, just as it was in the Southern states and the Northern states. Even if they had little or no sympathy for the cause, their state was at war, and many men fought for the honor of their particular state once it had chosen one side or the other.
