==Confederate States of America==

Flag number six flew over Texas during the American Civil War, as southern states called the Civil War from its beginning. Texas left the Union on February 1, 1861 but governor Sam Houston refused to pledge an oath of allegiance to the breakaway country. The hero of Texas independence was summarily ousted from office and Texas began flying the colors of the Confederate States of America on March 2, 1861. <ref>"Texas in the Civil War: Stories of Sacrifice, Valor and Hope," pamphlet, Texas Historical Commission, 2013</ref>
