nlexa [21]

Answer: He greatly supported the Confederacy, meaning that Texas joined their side during the Civil War.

Explanation:

After he was elected governor of Texas in 1861, Lubbock took steps to increase Texas' miltary strength. He greatly supported the draft imposed by the Confederacy of able-(white) men, going as far as to oppose or deny conscription excemptions, recomending white cattle ranchers to use slaves in order to free up white workers who could be conscripted and incorporated into the Confederate army. He also set out to build military facilities and factories in Texas to aid in the war effort against the Union. He organized Civil Courts not recognized as legitimate, imprisoning or linching suspected Union supporters in Texas. After the end of his term as governor, he joined the Confederate army as Liutenant Colonel.
