History

Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it replaced its governor, Sam Houston, when he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. As with those of other States, the Declaration was not recognized by the United States government at Washington. Some Texan military units fought in the Civil War east of the Mississippi River, but Texas was most useful for supplying soldiers and horses for Confederate forces. Texas' supply role lasted until mid-1863, after which time Union gunboats controlled the Mississippi River, making large transfers of men, horses or cattle impossible. Some cotton was sold in Mexico, but most of the crop became useless because of the Union naval blockade of Galveston, Houston, and other ports.

What would have happened if both unions had survived into the 20th century?
laila [671]
For starters, we would likely have the United States of America on the northern half and the Confederate States on the southern half as two different countries. There would likely be a lot of slaves attempting to cross the border from the south so that they could be free. Slavery would still be a thing in the south, of course. There is also a large chance that America would have gone to war with the southern states, although it would not be considered a civil war at this point.
