MARCH 18, 1861:
The famed Unionist Governor of Texas, Sam Houston, is
deposed and sent into internal exile. As he departs, Houston tells the
Confederates:
“You may, after the
sacrifice of countless millions of treasures and hundreds of thousands of
precious lives, as a bare possibility, win Southern independence...but I doubt
it."
On the same day, Arkansas rejects secession.
