Texas joined the Confederacy in February 1861.

But its governor, Sam Houston, was worried. He
offered this statement on what lay in store for the
North and South.
Our people are going to war to perpetuate
slavery, and the first gun fired in the war will
be the [death] knell of slavery.
- Sam Houston,
governor of Texas
What was Houston predicting in this quote?
A war would help save slavery for the South.
Awar would mean the end of slavery for the
South
A war would make the North change its mind
about slavery
DONE
Perpetuate: to continue or to extend
Death knell slang for the end
