Logic doesn't have much to do with your personal understanding of the Texas part of the Confederacy.
No one is questioning that Texas was part of the confederacy. I’m questioning that being a favor in them being a south eastern state or belonging in the SEC. Kentucky never was in the confederacy, and NYC had a significant pro confederacy (and by extension a very anti war) movement. If Texas is automatically get a pass does that mean Kentucky has to go and CUNY get an invite? Or does being in and supporting the confederate government not change geography?

This sounds like a Kentucky problem. Texas went southern long ago. What's your point?

You may want to look into why KY didn't secede officially. The unionists in the state felt slavery was best protected by the Union. A risky confederacy meant certain death to slavery if it lost a war. They didn't stay in the union out of some love for the North. Or because they hated the south. The education of the american civil war in this country has been a tragedy.
