Explanation: I took the quiz.

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Conscription Act was passed in 1863 in order to recruit more men to the army. This occurred due to the Civil War. Both the Union and the Confederacy implemented conscription in order to recruit soldiers. However, this was not implemented by Governor Sam Houston. Houston was a Southern Unionist, and he disagreed with the idea of secession, as he believed it to be unconstitutional. As he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, he was deposed from office.
