feb 1, 1861 - Texas Secedes

Description:

This was the date when Texas had the choice between staying with the Union or joining the Confederacy. Some of the Texans chose to stay with the Union that they wanted to be a part of for a long time, while the others wanted to join the Confederacy. In other words it was like Texas was split down the middle.
